Where to find Spyderco Tenacious last minute

[Robb]

Anyone know where I may be able to buy a Spyerco Tenacious locally before the big holiday?

Arg, just found out this one is made in China... nevermind.

^^^^ What he said. Try them all out and buy the Made in Golden, CO knives.

Yup, you'll pay full MSRP but you won't have to wait on shipping.

Yeah, disappointed the Tenacious is Chinese, I called the outlet shops and they had a Manix2 but in blue, not sure how that would go over.
Any of you knife guys have a favorite, made in the USA knife for hopefully at under $100.00 max? (Hey, I've spent enough already...)
Needs to be a folder and US made would really be nice. I liked the Sypderco because of the Colorado connection.

"Yup, you'll pay full MSRP but you won't have to wait on shipping. "
If I understood correctly, full MSRP on phone orders, if you walk in you get a 20% discount. I just talked to them on the phone.

I like the black scales on my Golden Manix2, i'm not sure about that blue either.

Are Buck Knives still made in the USA?

[KS63]

Love my Manix2 with G10 grips.

That blade design bothers me more than the color. It seems like it's either really short or really fat; on the other hand, I like the curvature of the blade and the tip (I never did like Tanto tips) but then I still really like my Buck 115. I've had it for nearly 35 years and it's still a heckuva knife.

I have a tenacious. Its pretty good quality, on par with the rest of my spyderco's. Pretty sure Cabelas stocks them

[Tinelement]

I have the Manix 2 in both G10 and blue. I carry the blue way more often because it is lighter.

have you tried Amazon? With Amazon Prime you can get free 2 day shipping

[Robb]

I'll drive past Cabelas on the way home, see what they carry. If that doesn't work I may try Amazon Prime. Thanks for calling my attention to that. It's not the end of the world if it's a day late.

Spyderco made or did make some in Seki-City, Japan. I had been told these made in Seki-City were supposed to be very good knives. Is that correct?

[henpecked]

I have some from japan, golden and there "byrd" line. All are very sharp. The byrd line is pretty good quality for the price.

they have sog knives too.

[Robb]

Excellent prices, sold out of a few models though. Never the less, damn good prices...

Respectfully, I've handled and used a few Chinese Spydercos and they are not bad knives at all. Some of the other big brands that outsourced to China I cannot say the same for. The Japanese knives from Seki-City are far more collectable, but I really did not notice a huge difference in quality. Not like comparing a made in USA Schrade Sharpfinger to a made in China Schrade-Taylor LLC "Sharpfinger" that is so dull out of the box it won't cut cold butter and the steel is something like rebranded 420 that may not even be heat treated.

TFOGGER is a dealer.

[Rucker61]

I have the Spyderco Delica4 and the Endura4, both purchased off of Amazon for less than my Promotive discount.

[Clint45]

Spyderco is a good brand, even their made in China knives are good, and their low budget "Byrd" line is far better than anything else at that price point. It is hard to find a better quality knife without paying twice as much.

Amazon will often beat their "in Golden" prices, but big boxes typically won't. It is nice to have the attention and their full range of knives.

Having said that,

Oh yeah. I really like their Seki-City knives, myself.
I like the ones that say "Golden, Colorado, USA, Earth" for obvious reasons, but these hold up really really well.

Spyderco's Chinese stuff is different than most manufacturer's in that they own the facility, provide all the tooling and materials, and directly control the production and QC, according to my sales rep, Lynnette. Essentially, the only thing "Chinese" about them is the labor. The Byrd knives are an amazing value, I have a couple for work knives, and they are 95% of a regular Spyderco at less than half the cost.

Sal and Gail are nice folks, You can actually call spyderco and if there in the building talk to the owners. For years I've dealt with Rachel in the store. I can buy from the internet cheaper than the store so I dont see them as often. They should include band aids with there products as they are sharp.

And they'll sharpen them for you there if you stop by. :)
