I blindly pulled the trigger on one of these. I'm glad to see all the positive comments about it.
Can't wait till it gets here

I've read many great reviews... But I have a tough time paying that kind of $$ for Taiwan made knives. Same goes for the Tuff, Southard, etc...
I'm just saying for the amount if $$ the Taiwan knives cost, I'd rather buy Golden, Colorado or Seki City, Japan models.
It's not so much of the notion of only buying American, but I guess there is a stigma with Taiwan made knives. If it were a $60-$80 knife I would probably buy one. I just think that for $329.00 (spyderco website) they could be made here. As for Japanese made knives, Japan produces some of the most quality knives period.

I guess I'm just saying why does Sal even have them made anywhere but USA? Again I understand the Taiwan/Japanese production if you are selling at a much lower price point, but can't we (USA) produce the same quality as Taiwan?
Based on my experiences, the short answer is "apparently not"--my Taichung spydies are all better made than my Golden spydies . . .
It seems as though I'm almost alone on this one... If there is that much difference in quality, maybe I'll have to trade for something Taiwan made. Hard to believe, but I'm willing to give it a try.
