Because you are a retard and can't see with your own dam eyes that the prices of Spyderco knives are relatively in line with BenchMade! No one can help you, you are lost. It isn't my job to convince you of chit. Clearly your reading isn't so great! In my post I clearly wrote for some people BenchMade's warranty and Lifesharp are important. Personally I take ownership when I break a product that has nothing to do with material or manufacturing defects. However Once I was in BenchMades facilities and had a knife on me that did have a chipped point. I took it to the window where they do the Lifesharp and said to the guy I know it is chipped and the pocket clip is missing, but seeing I am here you can sharpen it. The replaced the blade and the clip. I think that is pretty good customer service. Benchmade also gives my types a nice discount plus OR has no sales tax. So when I am in town and I see a knife I like and want to buy, I buy it. As for stripping wires I understand you have zero mechanical ability. Yeah I am a LW type guy, you know so much about me. Bottomline is you made a false statement and backed that statement up with two companies that I gave you the answers on. But you are not smart enough to get it. Sorry but blame your parents not me.

I acknowledged that spyderco does sell some expensive knives, but they have many under $100 or less. I have a benchmade catalog here and the lowest price pocket knife is $115. Many other USA made brands in the pacific northwest like buck and leatherman offer similar warranties with products at many price points.

A person shouldn't buy products for the warranty. You can get a lifetime warranty and two ginzhu knives at once if you buy warranty.

Wire stripping with a knife doesn't fly at a oem manfacturing plant because it leads to quality problems later. My guys know what they are doing, but its the customers mechanics using poor techniques that create wire issues later.

Have you noticed I have not resorted to name calling with you and only question some of your methods of repair? You're backed into a corner and cant come out with a logical fact based argument so you resort to name calling. Very childish.


Yea... you're a LW person and cant hold back.

Sorry for your loss.

I am in no corner. Comparing Buck quality to BenchMade only proves my point of your total lack of knowledge.

Funny you say resorted from name calling. Did you forget what you just wrote or are you just really that dumb. I guess we know now it wasn't just an act.

Are you comparing a $25-$40 Buck to a $150 Benchmade?

Buck Custom Shop 110's are top quality materials and very well put together. Different genre of knives and uses but quality, fit and finish are very comparable between those CS 110 Bucks and upper end Benchmades.

I was just stirring the pot wink but the truth is it's nostalgia as much as anything else for me..

While I've moved on to other knives I grew in an era where Buck locking folders were king so I'll always have a soft spot for their knives.

Second knife I ever owned was a Buck. First was a Swiss Army.

My first was a Camillas Barlow (which I still have) and the second was a Buck locking folder.

The Barlow was good design IMO but that Camillas was a poor example.
I didn't have a clue back then though and carried it proudly for years. LOL

I love the Barlow though would rather have it made by one of my favorite custom makers.

My dad gave it to me and I was glad to have it.

It's hard to afford a custom on a ten year old's allowance in the late 50's. smile

Here's a nicer example of a Barlow I picked up at a yard sale several years ago. I like single blade pocket knives and it said Sheffield on the blade so I bought it without knowing anything about it and boy was I surprised after I did some digging. It was made by Christopher Johnson & Co., Sheffield, England in the 40's or 50's and it's still so tight it'll take a finger off if you aren't careful closing it. IIRC I paid $20 for it...even a blind hog eh?

Because of this Benchmade anti gun stuff, I stopped carrying my Benchmade 485-171 VALET with homemade smoother higher thumb nut and longer clearance lower frame... and bought a Spyderco Manix 2 G-10 Dark Blue S110V Plain Edge with pink duck tape added so I can find it.

I'm going to a gun auction on Saturday morning. It's put on by the local Sheriff's Department. All guns are prior confiscated weapons from crimes and some of their carry guns.

Once again, Oregon shows how [bleep] stupid they are.

That's awesome. Should just be the common sense thing to do but now a day's I generally consider common sense practiced as awesome....sad that I think like that.

I’m still scratching my head about why anyone cares about this. If someone killed a relative of mine with a gun, I’d rather it be destroyed than resold to someone else.
