How about we treat the thread and Mr. Anderson as if the thread and Mr. Anderson aren't troll related? No reason to devolve down to the level of name calling, even if you feel you need to defend one of my favorite companies. We are better people than that;)

What Mr. Anderson would you like to know about Spyderco and their folders?
I started collecting Spyderco folders a little over a year ago but if I can help answer a question I will as will many others.

I picked up my 2 of my Manix 2s (I had 3 total but my brother loved my satin G10 version so much he took it as a Bday present) last year for $71 and $85, quite a bit less than $100. They're both made in the US. The fit and finish are superb and they came crazy sharp. Machining takes money and frame or liner locks are the cheapest lock mechanisms to make, that explains the extra cost for the most part. Add to it that my Manix 2s have G10 scales over top of stainless liners while the Leek has just the stainless steel frame. If you have any further questions I'd be happey to try and answer them.

Sure I have a question... when will Spyderco come up with a knife without that silly hole in it and instead have a flipper?

Everybody owns a Kershaw Leek, it's iconic and you can even get one in 24K gold for $99.99 so why hasn't any Spyderco knife achieved the same iconic status?

Did I mention that it's iconic? :p

Simple, because Spyderco already makes one that's as good in the same price range. To be honest with you, I've been far more impressed by my Delica than my Leek...

If you're not smart enough to operate the google-machine for 5 minutes to research MAP, MSRP and how to avoid counterfeit items then you deserve to pay full retail price on all your purchases. :rolleyes:

Too bad stupidity isn't painful...

Lol that silly hole is a trademark ,and the first one handed or designed one handed opening knife. Thank Sal for that , also that pocket clip on the leek, thank Sal for that too. He introduced that as well. They read this forum and these posts have some respect for the people that have evolved the industry so much
 
Guys, Mikael is either stringing you along or he's embarrassing himself with the juvenile level of his questions and responses. Honestly, I don't know which it is but I sorta feel sorry for him. I think I'll just walk away and let nature take its course.

They do. Several. I like the Leek, but it's silly to say Spyderco doesn't make comparable models with the same value.

It's not an attack and the Delica is too expensive to become an iconic knife among millions of people who never visits a knife forum.

I bought a Delica for $55 shipped last November. The last leek I bought that I carried a few times and has sat on a shelf for a couple years cost more than $55. But don't let facts get in your way or anything.

I would say both knives are icons of their brand. But the Delica is a better knife.
