Fortunately for you many of us have also restrained. You have not only show a great amount of disrespect to a company that every one of us here, and a great many others in the knife world, know to be the absolute best quality and customer service available. But you have also disrespected a fellow forum member and might I say friend in Mr. Glesser with your statements. I challenge you to find any other company that might have handled this situation in the way Spyderco did. You can say it was Mr. Blessed that handled it and not Spyderco, but you would be wrong. Mr. Glesser is Spyderco. If you choose to never to never use this forum again or buy another Spyderco, I assure you none of us will feel a thing. Just more for us. Your behavior throughout this thread was less than that of an upstanding knife guy, more so that of a child who hasn't gotten their way. If any of this offends you, I don't care. You have deserved every bad word any of us has had to say.
To Mr. Glesser,
You once again show the absolutely amazing company that Spyderco is. As a customer I feel blessed to be part of the Spyderco family. When I spend my hard earned dollar on a Spyderco I know that it goes to something more than a money hungry corporation. Knowing the great humanitarian acts, and personal service and commitment you and your company provide, makes me that much more proud to have your product in my pocket.
So once again, thank you for being the absolute best the knife industry has to offer. And I look forward to many more years of being a loyal customer.
*High five* thank you - yes I was being restrained as well due to the huge amount of respect for Sal and frankly - why feed the gremlins? I am only new here also but what I have seen I really enjoy the group here and have respect for all you.
