I think I may have you beat on "not the cheap stuff" in the spyderco world.
not the one I wanted. I wanted the one with the G10 scales, but come to find out that was only a limited edition run. So I bought a green one with full flat grind. This will be the first knife I have had that did not have some kind of a liner. I don't know how I am gonna feel about this.
If only the Tenacious used VG-10 steel I would not be having this problem.
I'm not a fan of 8cr13mov Kind of reminds me of AUS-6.
I drank some of it, and not the cheap stuff either, but the Endura VG-10 Kool-Aid. I swore that I would never spend that much on a pocket knife. God help me, what have I started.
You never said how much it was or where you got it..???? Hope you supported our resident knife dealers....!!!!!
I got it for a grand total of 41.37 shipped to my door off ebay. Should be here tomorrow shipped from Grand Harbor Michigan.
As far as supporting the resident knife dealers, I tried. I asked about a few knives, but got no response. I still have hopes of getting a Benchmade Rift, and maybe a Spyderco Rescue. But my hopes for the Civilian in a plain edge have been crushed.
After exchanging 3 or 4 pm's over the last few days and me taking my time and some effort to explain to you the different types of steel that Spyderco uses, you requested pricing late wed. night (6-15-11). I was on the road all day yesterday and was not able to respond. You never gave me a chance... I was going to respond today with prices but came to this thread and saw that you had already made your purchase.
Welcome to my list of only 2 people out of over 15,000 on INGO that I will never do business with again...so don't waste my time anymore.
I think you're being a tad brash, but that's ok, I understand, I too often get a little brash. I think you may have missed the part about wanting to still get a rift from you, but that's ok too. I had no idea you didn't have access to internet yesterday, I'm used to quick responses on this awesome forum, because your last PM's were all very quick, I thought you were not interested. You should know how getting knives is, it's an addiction and you want your fix now.
If you have no intention of ever selling me a knife, that's perfectly fine, but I will still give you the chance the rethink things, because getting mad over an object like a knife is silly. And if you choose not to, that's fine, and I understand. At the end of the day, I'm still gonna be getting a new knife, have lost close to 80 pounds this year, and I still have a smoking hot gorgeous girlfriend, so there will be no ill feelings coming from me. Life is to short.
Spyderco didn't make Civilians in a plain edge..!!!
