First, I can appreciate that many people might know the answer to the following questions but, while I am sure that there are many, I have no idea who here knows what they are talking about. That said, I’m not really asking for lots of opinions.
Dear Mr. Glesser,
I have been a customer for many years but am new to this forum. First, I just wanted to say that it’s great to see you so involved with your customers. Your passion is clearly still very much alive and well. Great to see!
Please forgive me for asking a question that I’m sure has been covered many times, but I have been unable to find your thoughts on these topics
First, with the compression lock, from my experience (I own around 30 PM2/PM2/Sage etc knives with compression locks) there is a fair amount of variability in the amount of “pop” or “stick” or whatever people call it when the lockbar is engaged and the user disengages it. On some of my knives there is zero stick no matter how hard I open the blade, and with others it is significant even when opening lightly. My sense is that all of these are within spec, and I certainly am not worried whatsoever that the ones with no stick do not keep the blade open as securely, but this has always been a question to me.
If you were to ask your staff to bring you a, say, PM2 for a gift for someone, what would your preference be regarding the stick? I have to assume that you might have a personal preference as the experience is a bit different.
Also, why not make deep carry clips? There are obviously plenty of after market options but, IMHO, none of them look like they came from Spyderco.
Thanks so much for your time.
