I take exception with your statement conwict. Spyderco knives, just like their knife making counterparts like: Kershaw, Buck, SOG etc. have lowered their standards by building substandard knives in China. They utilize sub par labor (some consider slave labor) and poor quality materials to produce these low cost products that they then sell to the ignorant masses who wouldn't know good blade steel and quality workmanship if it kicked them in the backside.This has been covered ad nauseam and in my opinion helps prove "no publicity is bad publicity." Spyderco has just shown their classy business practices again by getting a good Chinese product...their secret? Good quality control.
They prostitute their previous good name to peddle there cheap Chinese products. It's a disgrace; and, IMHO will soon cause their demise.
To everyone here: Buy some good American or European made knives while you still can. Someday, in our lifetime, they won't exist.
