I'm always curious about how some company names come about. I was wondering how the name Spyderco came to be?

Watch the Blade HQ interviews with Sal Glesser, all will be revealed by the man himself ;)

Warhammer 40000 is- basically- Lord Of The Rings on a cocktail of every drug known to man and genuine lunar dust, stuck in a blender with Alien, Mechwarrior, Dune, Starship Troopers, Fahrenheit 451 and Star Wars, bathed in blood, turned up to eleventy billion, set on fire, and catapulted off into space screaming "WAAAGH!" and waving a chainsaw sword- without the happy ending.

Never seen that video. Inspirational. With hard work and time, your efforts pay off. Nice to see a family so supportive. Sal and Eric seem like genuinely nice people.
Always been obsessed with knives... Is that some type of disease?
