Spyderco is ugly

[gerberknivesalwaysprevail]

Look, I know Spyderco is one of the highest quality knife brands out there; they have great steel, they last an insanely long time, and they basically invented the modern folding knife. But personally I would never buy one because they look hideous. They’re also insanely expensive. I get that there are avid knife collectors that buy $300, $400, and $500 knives, but to me it just isn’t worth it. Price doesn’t equal quality. I have a Gerber paraframe that has lasted me about 7 years and it’s only around $30.

Wow, what a unique and revolutionary point of view. You are truly a visionary.

If your knife interests end at a blister pack Gerber from WalMart, why even join a knife enthusiast forum?

I have a Douk Douk and a Opinel that cost me $20 and will cut circles around your expensive Paraframe.

I have a Gerber Paraframe that has lasted me 19 years. I have never used it.

Cool story, bro.

Gerber has some models that are alright, but if you’re gonna bash Spyderco… Might be best to pull something better than a paraframe out of your ass.

Ughhhh, what a trash knife. One of the worst Gerbers ever made.

Apples to lightbulbs, I'd say.

You are certainly entitled to your opinion, and I partially agree. Spyderco makes some ugly knives. That said I like them and have bought and used quite a few of them through the years. My favorite value priced, quality knives are Victorinox. To each their own.

 

[mrknife]

there is no need to extol gerber knives virtues, they will sell each of those blister packs one at a time to people who buy that level of knife. maybe even two during the holidays

Before this doesn't end well, well, I'll end it.
