All Spyderco knives get the job done - but the main suggestions are locking mechanisms, blade material, and ergonomics. The Chinese blades are a good value, but only come with a liner lock - which is good for most people - but the back lock (Japan) and Compression locks (USA, Taiwan) are more robust for hard working tools. Similarly, the steel in the Chinese blades is quite good - but by stepping up to the other product lines, the steel offers more corrosion resistance, durability, or the ability to keep a sharp edge longer.
Not secure
I hit continue anywayz but still no dice.
Anyone else?
For insite for pricing... take an MSRP and half it. That is normally dealer cost. 60% of MSRP is normally distributor pricing. Sales do happen from time to time.
Normally, when you see massive price drops at the end of the year, they are clearing out overstock and/or stagnant stock.
The recession will have a knock-on effect as people need knives, but will resort to buying cheaper until the economy rebounds.
I'm not a fan of FRN myself, nor rivets. Look for models you can tear down fully for deep cleans and self-service.
Japan models used to have better tolerances. Unsure if that has changed in time. The Taiwan models or "Byrd" brand from Spyderco was produced to compete with the onslaught of cheap knives.
I will say this, knife prices should remain low for at least the next year as low-end dealers trying to survive keep slashing prices in order to keep their heads above water. In the end, they will drown. You can't survive on 5-10% profit margins unless you are selling insane amount of blades. There have been only a few big dealers over the years to survive economic turndown. They are the ones who sell in pure volume at low % and the manufacturers know this.
Now a knock-off is produced and it cost only 10.00 to make and is sold at 20.00.
Same profit margins .... but you don't spend any advertising as you are piggy backing off the originals hype. No warranty, so no worries of replacing a defective. No overheads as you stole the design. All this means even a high profit margin for the fake.

You are correct. Byrd is made in China, I was wrong there when I said Taiwan.
However, to say I know nothing of Spyderco... may I ask have you ever made a flight to Golden to take a tour of the Golden plant and sit down and talk with Sal personally over the production of a Pen Knife designed to meet the daily carry laws of the UK prior to it being produced? No? I did not think so.
You know you could have simply corrected me and said, "Hey man, I think you mixed up your locations on that late night post. It's China that produced the Byrd series to compete with the onslaught of cheap knives that swarmed the market." The result would have been the same, with me pointing out that you are correct. Instead, you come across as that guy everyone knows as the one who likes to point out others' mistakes in the most public way possible, just to look like the bigger guy in the room.
