So is Spyderco using bearings on this thing or what? What kind of system is it?

Got your facts a little backwards.. China wants to own Taiwan, and the Taiwanese don't want to be invaded and taken over ala Tibet. Anyway, the Spyderco factory in Taichung does down right amazing work.
Oh no, I have my facts correct. Yes indeed, China wants Taiwan subjugated. Taiwan was founded by Chinese who fled communism. I am just trying to say that Taiwan and China are distinct even though each, at one time or another, have tried to lay claim to the name China. Taiwan, situated on the rather large island of Formosa, never really had a chance winning that one since historically China (Cathay or whatever you might have ever called it) always was right where mainland China is now. I re-read my sentence and it is not my best work...I'll give you that.
But back to the show...Taiwan has an outstanding reputation at making Spyderco and other knives. So if you have a beef with mainland China and their propensity for quality issues or copyright issues...your beef isn't with Taiwan...they're distinct. I suppose if you have a beef with anything not made in the USA then Taiwan would apply...good luck with that one.

No left handed carry...I hate being handicapped (read; left handed).
They aren't making Spydercos like that anywhere else either at this time. I have a few from Taiwan and they are the best period and I have over 125 from the USA and Japan.
May I ask who you bought it from, Jill?
i feel bad for anyone that won't buy a spyderco made in taiwan.
they're indeed missing out.
great knives.
