Hi all,
I recently purchased my first Spyderco, a Tenacious. I picked it up at Walmart for $42. When I opened it, the action was a little gritty so I decided to open it up, wipe it down well and oil it with some CLP. Upon disassembling it, the stop pin fell into a wormhole and disappeared. After a few hours of searching I wasn't able to find it.
I've scoured the internet looking for a replacement part but I haven't been able to find one. When I called Spyderco I was told that I would have to send it in along with $25 to be repaired. It seems ridiculous to send the knife for repair when they could easily just sell me the part. This has left a bad taste in my mouth for Spyderco customer service.
Is there anyone here that has a spare stop pin they would be willing to sell me, or maybe a tenacious/ambitious/persistence that's only good for parts (I'm just assuming they all use the same stop pin)? I would really appreciate any help, otherwise this knife is probably destined for the parts bin itself.
