[QUOTE="ez bake, post: 2375475, member: 229"] There's a big hoo-ha about that as well. I don't know the complete history, but the general overview (as I recall from memory) is that Benchmade supposedly paid Spyderco some sort of royalties to use the round hole for one (or a few) models, and then decided to use it on other models without paying (I think?) and Spyderco and Benchmade have since settled their disputes out of court or something along those lines. I'm pretty much at the point where I won't buy a new Benchmade since they just started enforcing MAP pricing and killed the 25% discount that a lot of dealers were giving to customers (which made them worth the money IMO) - so I'm starting to focus on used models through the secondary market.
