Hey guys I'm new to the forums, but not new like to knives I wouldn't say I'm new or don't no at all. But in a lot of videos people always question spyderco ability on performance my delica 4 performs amazing all around same with my cricket is their a specific reason??
 
Spyderco gets a lot of love on this forum and deservedly so. They make good knives at reasonable prices.
 
I agree they produce great blades....... But on reviews on YouTube a lot of people make remarks like my spyderco can't do that or I would like to see a spyderco that sharp its so stupid
 
The most successful always seem to take the most heat. There are Wal-mart haters, McDonald's haters, big auto haters, pharmaceutical haters, and on and on. In a different forum we could discuss why that is :), but I think it just goes with the territory of being successful. Spyderco happens to be my favorite manufacturer.
 
There are a handful of good folks doing (and commenting on) knife reviews on YouTube -- including some who are members of this forum -- but the vast majority of the so-called knife "reviews" and "tests" you see on there are total garbage and filled with misinformation. As mentioned in an earlier reply, Spyderco knives' performance, out-of-the-box sharpness, and so forth are very well-regarded on this forum.
 
Yea I agree, like some people make a "edc" with like such [expletive deleted] it's so fake like 8 pocket knives two guns two flash lights like come on let's be real

Spyderco is an icon in the knife world. To achieve that kind of status, you have to put out a damn fine line of knives.
 
Some people on YouTube produce fake edc videos and gear testing, in other words some people show their whole knife collection and guns and a flash light and say yea this is myr edc like you get what I'm saying?
 
Spyderco makes a great quality knife at a reasonable price.I have 4 and hope to add more to my box o' knives,including a Chinook when tax time comes

Agreed. The quality vs price, sharpness, dedication of the company are all part of it. But for me it's the Spyderhole. No matter how hard I try, I can't go back to thumb studs. The hole just works exponentially better. Form follows function.
 
Yes I practically shaved my arm with the cricket out of the box lol, also no blade play and such a smooth lock up, perfect quality

I feel like spyderco is kinda like glock handguns. Both were the start of modern innovations of each category (pocket clip/thumbhole and polymer handgun reliability/high capacity) and that's one of the main reasons they became so powerful, big, and well-regarded. This doesn't mean the other companies are worse or anything, but these two companies' innovations are just more modern, and many people consider this as better. Then there are other people who don't like the modern innovations that Spyderco offers, and they get frustrated and mad about all these other people that talk about how much they love Spyderco. Then they start to hate Spyderco because they want others to like what they like.

I know that most knives, even the 99cent camping knife from wal-mart, could do most of the jobs I have for it, albeit with a lot more sharpening. But personally I take pleasure in owning and using a high-quality tool with good steel, accessibility, and my own taste of aesthetics. I own one Spyderco because I wanted to try out the best thumbhole on the market, and I like their VG10 steel now, but personally I like my Buck 110 more. I'll always love it more because it was my first knife. It's something intangible about the Buck 110 that the Spyderco will never be able to provide for me. It's like an extension of my hand, so of course it will cut better in MY hand than a Spyderco will. (I still like my purple Endura FFG!)

I don't really EVER see Spyderco taking much heat, because I usually just read this mostly pro-spyderco forum and watch the big-name YouTubers, like BluntTruth and Nutnfancy, who both like Spydercos. What I do sometimes see are people who think that Spyderco is the best thing since sliced bread, which is fine because that's what I think of USA Bucks and Schrades, but they vehemently argue that Spyderco has the best knives ever for everyone, and no one on this forum in their right mind should think that.
 
Yea, I love my delica 4 because it was my first also, like my first serious knife I had tons of cheap ones, also I ordered from vesleatherworks a custom sheath for it lol, I baby it and have my name engraved on it also
 
I love Spyderco!! Honestly I think they are one of the best if not the best, specially if your a steel junky:D I have more Spydie's then any other brand, alot more and there's a good reason for that, they make damn fine products and they listen to what there customers want:thumbup: I cant say that I've heard anything but good things about spyderco except for maybe the occasional goofy who doesn't know what there talking about. You would be hard up to find the edges Spyderco gives you (at least for me).
