At first, I was interested in this knife, but the more I learned about it, the more I hate it. It's thick, it's expensive and it doesn't even have a sharpening choil.
I just bought a spydiechef with hopes I can get my dainty left thumb inside the spyderhole properly. (If not, I'll return it). I was looking to get into spyderco's a bit more. I have a native 5 in fluted titanium which honestly underwhelmed me a lot. But this knife is killing all interest I had in the brand. What terrible business practices.
Wtf is this flash batch racket? It's capitalism at it's worst, that's what it is. Spyderco finally makes a knife that looks like it fills the hand nicely. Finally a knife I might be interested in. A knife that really adds something to the existing line-up. And then spyderco f***s everyone over by aritificially limiting availability and inflating prices. This is a scummy business tactic.
Oh, and there is another thing. Why isn't the clip reversible? There is literally no reason for this. This could have been a wonderful ambidextrous knife.
Spyderco, if you're reading this, I hope you guys have nothing but bad luck until you guys start behaving like respectable human beings. You shan't be receiving any more of my money until you do. Shame on you!
