I love it, "defective" It still works doesn't it? Then it is a flaw.

Yes I will update this post in the future. I tried hard to keep the attitude of the post away from appearing to be a rant. I love Spyderco, and this knife hurt my feelings:'(
The real problem is that there is jimping on the underside of the handle. Ouch! I have no idea why people like such agressive jimping.
Yes, this is only an extremely minor cosmetic issue. Yet, this is an issue because it hurt the OP's feelings.
I have to look really hard to see it.
Seems to me you were all bothered about this because it was taking so long for it to get to you and when it finally did, by now you were furious and hurt at this point you began looking for any excuse for spyderco to share in all the wrongs the world has done to you.
Kid, if this is all it takes to hurt you emotionally I feel really bad for you, and anyone that has the misfortune of sharing your life with you.
This is a knife forum, not a place designed to coddle you at others expense to make you feel better. Your county should have an organization funded and staffed with professionals whose job it is to do that. While you are there expect to see people with a lot of real problems that are much, much worse than yours. That alone might make it worthwhile.
If you don't like the knife contact the appropriate people and send it back. If it's out of spec, or defective you will get taken care of.

A little advice on ranty-mcrant posts when you are all upset: Type the post in a txt document. Give it a night to sit. Steam usually clears with a good night's rest.

They watched too many nutnfancy vidoes :barf:

Hi Rainbow Canyons,
Welcome to the Spyderco forums.
Sorry about your disappointment. I know you are expecting a perfect knife, but in reality, that's not possible. I have many expensive customs and I cannot say that I have a "perfect" knife. It's a matter of what your expectations are. If you are having a problem with what you feel is a defect, you should contact the dealer for a replacement, or send it to us for a "look-see". Perhaps it is something that can be remedied.
While $100 may seem like a lot of money, and it is, it is not expensive for a USA made knife with a high performance steel.

Good point the jimping may work even better this way LOL. So what we have may be a cosmetic issue.
Sorry let me use the correct font......

If one gets a gnarled up knife from a dealer the first step is to contact the dealer for a replacement. If the replacement knife arrives in perfect condition then it's a non-issue. Nothing on your part was done to rectify the situation. Too busy to send a knife back? Did you even call the dealer to explain the situation or did you assume they would do nothing? You have several different avenues to fix the problem and your first thought is to rant about it. Geez, a lemon squeaks by every now and then. It happens.
Do your part. Call the dealer. Exchange the knife.
It's not too hard to do.
I know it's not a huge problem. But I've noticed it, and now I can't UNnotice it. I have contacted Spyderco (waiting on a response in action, I'll post update).
Thank you. I don't have any time to ship a package soon so I sent an email/message to at least get the ball rolling (The website also directed me towards that route rather than a call). I have no doubt that Spyderco will do everything they can.
