“Open, close, cut, clean, oil, cut, cut, cut... To a Spyderco, that is living. Letting it die in the box is to lose 75% of what we put into it." Sal Glesser

[mikebandw186]

the whole quote, from bladeforums:

We've built a few collector pieces but most Spydercos are hungry and like to eat. As mentioned, open, close, cut, clean, oil, cut, cut, cut... To a Spyderco, that is living. All of the effort that we put into designing and building the knife is found in using the knife; The horsepower in the steel, the edge, the ergos, sophisticated mechanisms, carefully chosen materials or custom made materials, history of and refinements to the design, etc. Letting it die in the box is to lose 75% of what we put into it.

Found somewhere around one of Sal's postings:

"If a man speaks in the forest and there is no wife around to hear him, is he still wrong?"


I LOVE that one and can't stop smiling about it.

"We feel that to "charge as much as the market will bear" is "to bite the hand that feeds you"."

Found on the KX06S box:

"Quality is the product of a good attitude"

That goes along with:

"Integrity is being good even when no one is watching"
