Some people act as though that larger corporation is simply named "CHINA"The only way I see Spyderco becoming “Chinese” is if one day it’s owned by a larger corporation...but I don’t think that’s gonna happen any time soon!

Ans yet he still owns more than 1 lol
The Tenacious is junk.................If you so much as fart on it, the blade goes dull.
It's far more complicated than most realize or understand. GeoPolitics are an interesting study. Many issues facing the USA that have large consequences. We trust our politicians to handle those things, but a greater study shows that they may not be as effective at handling them as they should be. Especially in the current political climate.

I don't have sales records but it means something if everyone I speak to know's the name Spyderco from the Tenacious, many users or /r/knives on reddit buy the Tenacious as their first Spyderco, everyone but 1 person I've met in the past 5 years had a Tenacious instead of another Spyderco, everyone says that's the one they're in the market for when I show off milli, etc, etc. At least anecdotally I can say Spyderco and the Tenacious could be used interchangeably like Kleenex is for tissues, and I DO NOT LIKE THIS.I have hard time believing that the Tenacious is their best seller but considering that the only two Spydies available at my local Walmart are the Tenacious and Resilience then I guess it is possible.
Just out of curiosity? How did you get access to Spyderco’s sales records?
I will NOT buy Chinese knives. And I will NOT discuss their politics.There is an entire forum dedicated to discussing Political questions. This ain't it.
The original question was whether Spyderco was going to make all their knives in China.
Sal says they are not.
You can discuss whether you will buy Chinese knives.
Do not discuss the politics of the various countries.
Thanks again for posting Sal and I got to say this shocked the heck out of me. It's hardly expensive and a very high end brand for them to carry. Also, being that I'm sure that's where most bought theirs it seems like the best outlet for it too. While I don't like the knife or Chinese products, I hope you can argue for it to stay in because it's beneficial for both parties.Hi HK,
Also, Walmart may disco out Tenacious because it's too expensive.

I certainly have a soft spot for some outside Golden and hope G-Sakai and Joti are partners, but I doubt Joti is.Our relationship with our Chinese companies is that they are vendors, not partners. We also patent much of what we in China for some protection.
