My vote for the next Bond goes to Clive Owen! I totally agree with Clovis, the franchise IMO is developing/evolving in sync with what today's movie goers demand. The 1963 From Russia With Love I'm betting wouldn't satisfy most audiences today expecting, and conditioned for, over stimulating action, ...

Sherlock's man purse/fanny pack/kangaroo pouch/ whatchmacallit was very clever. I want one! Great visual - him flipping it open and extracting tools to open doors etc... without missing a single beat in the action or flow of the story. Robert Downey Jr. IMHO has proven himself a great action star be...

The larger catalog is our Dealer and Distributor catalog, intended for our wholesale buyers. The smaller one, we call a PDR in-house (Product Description Reference) is the consumer version. They contain basically the same information with the consumer variety being small enough to fit inside a stand...

Interestingly I live a few doors down from where the incident happened. It rattled us. The neighborhood is insanely quiet, lots of young children and vigilantly aware neighbors with barking dogs. Drugs were a factor. The intruder had drug-making equipment with him that he had unloaded in the garage....

This is heartbreaking news. Frank always had a smile for everyone and opened his shop to anybody interested in learning knifemaking. He gave more time, advice and mentorship to all knife nuts than anyone I know. I called him the God Father of Knifemaking . Always made him blush horribly - I don't kn...

Aaawwwww. Perfect, precious, tiny and pink little girl. You are lost now. She will control you completely and you'll adore absolutely every minute of it. I look forward to meeting her sometime and hearing all about your amazing diaper changing talents. A heartfelt congratulations to you and Mrs. B. ...

Thanks everyone for your feedback! We're test driving several new catalog formats and layout ideas and your input is appreciated. Ideally our upcoming 2010 catalog will be more user firendly than ever before!

As far as I know, Paladin Press is still printing them. It has been re-released once. Initially was printed in a hardback version only and the first reprint changed over to paperback. They are expensive for whatever reason (Amazon had them new and used for $46.00). Only thing I can think of is it's ...

Hi everyone. That was fast! It's 4:15 Denver time on the same day I started this thread and the passes are all gone. I'll keep my eyes and ears open if anyone else in the industry still has any left.

The best of news Doug! Congratulations on your new (and future) knife knut. You are missed by everybody here. Come and see us with the family sometime!



Hellos to all of you.

Many, many thanks Wouter! We appreciate all you do and as always, it was terrific (and way too short) seeing you at the IWA.

I think a couple Spyderco employees may have posted this before, but I'll chime in again. Surprisingly we find including an inventory list addressed to TSA works well for us. So far anyway. It basically tells the TSA person checking the contents of your bag, " Dear TSA, This is what I have in m...

Anyone watch Cool Tools on the DIY Network? An episode titled: Transformers II DCTL-311 will run again (it first ran in Dec.) on January 18, 2009 9:00 AM Eastern. The final segment of the show highlights Sal talking about knives and the SpydeRench and a quick peek inside Spyderco manufacturing. Set ...

The really early USA made Renegades and Blackhawks had aluminum handles. We marketed them to the biker industry and they did well there.

LOL- close but no cigar. Instead, there are boxes, filing cabinets, drawers, shelves, filled with protos of the knives themselves. Lot's of paperwork there too, but more tangible items than conceptual. Someday in the future, the plan is for much of that "developmental history" to make it i...

Thank you Ed for pointing this out. We're still compiling and sorting through specs and information on new models for the 09 catalog. This is my goof- the C124 Barong and C125 Khukuri specs were crossed. The specs we have were taken from a prototype and are listed as. We will remeasure the productio...

A while back I found an image someone had shot and posted here of the Perrin Street Beat. If I'm remembering correctly, it had a white/neutral background and a single orange (Ranier) cherry in front of it. If anyone might know where it is, or has it saved, or know who shot it, can you post it here o...
