I posted this in another thread and thought it merited its own. Some, if not a lot, of people already know this but some likely don't. Just wanted to show some appreciation to these stand up guys and the knives they make.
"Spyderco is known for nailing their heat treats and doing things as good as can be given certain price points. Olamic is known for exceptional quality and customer service.
After having met the owners of both companies, Spyderco and Olamic, I'd recommend buying a knife from their companies far more than anything from Boker.
Sal, Spyderco, and Eugene, Olamic, will look you square in the eye and tell you that you'll have a hard time finding something better than what they produce at the same or better prices, and they mean it. And when they tell you that they'll bend over to fix any mistakes they make, they mean it. They'll then shake your hand and tell you they appreciate your business and theyll do anything within the realm of reason to keep you as a customer, and mean it.
One day I sent an inquiry to Eugene from Olamic about a specific knife model, this was before they made folding knives. He said he didn't have any in stock. I thanked him and moved on and bought a different knife. Some 4 or 5 months later I received an email from him out of the blue with a list of all the variations of that specific model they had in stock that Id mentioned. Not only did he keep my simple email, he referenced it months and months later and took the time to put pictures into another email and send to me, like I specifically mattered to him as a customer. I was supremely impressed with that simple display of personal customer service."
