Re: China




I would strongly prefer to see Spyderco keeping their production within the USA, Taiwan and Japan. I wouldn't mind something from Europe or Canada....

Re: China

My opinion as a material engineer working in several industries:
I do not mind where the knife is produced. I like a great design. Chinas manufacturing is on top of the world when they want to. If a western company can have influence on a chinese company it is a good mix.

On the other hand italy is ...

Re: Advice for a non knife guy...

My Pick would be a Tenacious G10. It Features a lot of Spydercos values and is a great slicer with ergonomic handling.
Everything more than that it is passable that the value will not be seen.

Re: Lion Steel Spydercos ?

I hope its okay to share this.
The Video Shows how certain families in Maniago Italy are specialised in a field of manufacturing and all work together for decades to create cutlery. This seems like a sustainable strategy when profit is not the only Focus.

100% Agreed apollo

Eric talked about it on several Amsterdam Meets that Maniago Italy (Lionsteel, Fox, etc) manufacturers are constantly investing in new machines, Lasers, staff etc.
Unlike some german brands.

Re: Potential Tariffs & Golden, CO.

Spyderco knives are already quite expensive here in europe.
Usually 40% more compared to US Shops.
Tariffs will make it worse.
I have no Problem spending money for quality, but i have thresholds which i am comfortable spending on the hobby.
For example a vanilla Shaman in Germany is 360€.

Re: My three favorite Spyderco folder designs

For me these 3 are the GOAT.

Tenacious was my first 15 years ago. Still the best cutting edge to handle ratio.

The Para-Military 2 was a gamechanger for Spyderco 15 years ago. Well deserved. And really affordable back then in germany.

The Military Camo Black Blade was my first grail. This iconic ...

Not happy to see someone talk in this detail about what was shared with us in Amsterdam.

@Senate should be a sign that no one of the other 69 attendees is talking about the Designs.
