Where to find Spyderco Tenacious last minute

[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.

"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.

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,

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?

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.
