Hi, Vivi:
This was brought up when we launched the new site three years ago. It's intentional, but unfortunately, not all devices handle it well. You'd likely have a better experience in portrait view instead of landscape. The shift that you see is called responsiveness. Meaning the site automatically resizes based on the device someone is using. It will adjust regardless of what device you're using. The header automatically rolls up a bit to allow for a better view, but there are limitations and viewing the site in landscape view from a small phone screen is one of them. I have a Galaxy S10 and I don't see the issue that you do. What device are you using (model and version) as well as what browser (name and version)?
There is nothing more important than this one day.

Hmm...I have a S10 and I see the Spyderco logo reduce in size regardless of which orientation or browser I'm using. It did it with S6 and does it with my Galaxy Tab S2. I knew it was intentional so it's never bothered me but I find it interesting that it doesn't do it with your S10.
Of all the things I've lost I miss my mind the most!

Hey, Sharp Guy:
Sorry, I wasn't clear. The header shrinks on mine, but I don't see the knife image getting "caught" (for lack of a better term) in the header as Vivi's video shows. ;)

I've tried it with a few different Androids (LG, Samsung) using different browsers....Brave, Bromite, Firefox etc. In the video I was using Bromite 76.0.3809.129 on Android 9 on a Samsung.

The website doesn't act as funny when viewed in portrait mode but I never use my phone that way. Thumbs are way too big to type in portrait :p
