Knives were trade goods in Canada's early colonial history. It seems that knife blades were supplied by colonists like the British and French and the handles were designed by the indigenous peoples. While this is a complicated issue it might make for a pretty cool knife today.

The blade design ...

I was also concerned for our dealers in Canada,eg Warriors and Wonders they have really upped their inventory this past year.
Can you imagine being stuck with thousands of dollars in inventory

Hey, after buying 3 knives in a little over a month, I'm workin' on it. ;)
I know eh! I bet theres a ...

The CBSA page mentions, "Importation by a business is permitted if a Firearms Business Licence has been presented with import – prohibited weapon, listed as a business activity on the licence". Does any know if knife vendors like W&W have such a license as a regular part of business-- or how ...

This is all very frustrating. If it really starts being heavily enforced I suppose we Canadians can dream that a Canadian Spyderco factory might some day be economically feasible. I suppose our population is too small for us to represent a significant enough chunk of the market....?

The Chinook 4, which I'm pretty sure I don't need. My wallet tells me that I don't need the PPT Sprint run....

These are interesting points. I've got both on my wishlist too. A thick knife for EDC can be frustrating. It actually led my to my first Spyderco purchase- the Dragonfly because I was finding the CRKT No Time Off too thick for some tasks- and it is thinner than the Techno. That said...you could ...

The design is really fantastic, but I would also agree that this isn't the sort of thing that would by on the books indefinitely. That said, given how cool the 100P design is, I would love to see another Jonny Liao collaboration with Spyderco.

Npad69, your subterfuge with the handle colours is hilarious...and is likely also my future. For now my wife is pleased that knives are smaller than books which are/were my other problem.
My Pattada arrived today (a day early-- thanks to w&w and Canada Post!). I'm very pleased with it. As I ...

Hiya, I'm newish around here too. My first Spyderco was the ZDP 189 Dragonfly, which was followed by the micarta Street Beat and most recently the Hundred Pacer with the Pattada in the mail.

This is my first forum, and I don't really do social media either, so I may be slow to pick up internet ...

Thanks for the welcome everyone, and the tip on Chokwe. It looks very interesting. I'm less familiar with African history than European, and this might the perfect entry point. A while back I did some random searching of generic knife terms in JSTOR and there were quite a few articles on African ...

I'm not really designer either (that's why I didn't post my doodles- if I get the time maybe I'll try to make post worthy drawings. I'm pretty new to quality knives and the design aspect has really got me hooked. I particularly like the Ethnic Series-- the stories behind the knives are fascinating ...

Hello Spyderco forum,
I apologize in advance for the long first post. A few weeks ago I ordered a Hundred Pacer. For various reasons it took until today to get here.

I was fascinated by the design and went down a rabbit hole of wikipedia and other links in my research. I did the same sort of ...
