Why do people hate Spyderco?

If you’ve seen official parts lists, there are numerous changes in many parts over the run of automobile models. They do CQI as well.

Yeah stuff changes but they don't refresh 100% when a new car comes out. You can go to a dealer or online and buy parts like bulbs or fuses and not have to bring the car in so a mechanic can check.

Except maybe BMW. Exhibit A, no more lug nuts.

With a vehicle, you can look up the catalog of specific parts used by the VIN. Those parts also have their own numbers. What's the VIN equivalent for the various Spyderco to look up the catalog of specific parts used? I don't even have the boxes for most of mine any more. While a Buck may have a year mark on the blade, I haven't heard of a similar mark on a Spyderco even to narrow down the year of manufacture.
 
We always also watch for glasses, belt buckles or other cameras. Nothing is 100%, but we do our best.

Comparing a knife company to a car company is not realistic, in my opinion. How many car companies produce more than 100 models each year? How many car companies have to deal with counterfeit copies of their cars?

We show prototypes of potential models to our customers at some shows and meets, in an effort to engage with our customers, get their ideas, improvements, preferences and thoughts for future models in general.

I guess at least some of our customers like what we're doing and he way we do it?

Honestly, it's hard to hate Spyderco. Seriously, how many other companies have their main guy out there on the forums and interacting with us? How many of those guys stay cool when people talk trash? You're a gem, Sal.

I love Spyderco so much that I'll buy ones I have issues with and try to fix them myself.

The nub is one thing. I can't stand it hitting my finger or even being in that space. So I fixed this one. (The sharpening choil wasn't just to fix "funky edge termination" but also to safely clear the lock access.)

I think I mentioned this other issue earlier in the thread. The way my hand naturally wants to mate with the handle shape is interrupted by that little prong. Thankfully, the prong on this one was all scale so I could remove it without running into the liner.

So with a little Spydie love, my Lil' Native fits my hand perfectly. ❤️

Hi Cronovore,

Thanx much for the kind words.

Looks like you have the skill to mod your knives. Customized for your preferences. We appreciate the fact that we can offer models that you like enough to bother to customize them for you. Good job.

You are very welcome! I'm carrying and enjoying it right now. Great size, great ergonomics on the rest of the handle, the wonderful wire clip, and that otherwise fantastic blade in a special steel were worthy of the love.

The Enuff 2 K390 SpyderEdge might be the perfect do-anything fixed blade. IMG_8373.jpeg
 
People generally speaking don't hate Spyderco that's absurd. It's one of the most popular folding knife companies on the planet.

You will find particular people that hate anything. You could have the most wonderful pure helpful brilliant person and someone will hate them. It's just the way it is. What is this thread lmao
