Why I love Spyderco! What's your reason?
Re: Why I love Spyderco! What's your reason?
The designs, the ergonomics, the steels, the quality, and the hole. Variety adds spice, and slice to life. :spyder:
Re: Why I love Spyderco! What's your reason?
My reasons are pretty simple. FFG and lightweight options. :)
Re: Why I love Spyderco! What's your reason?
Because Sal's into it, and does a remarkable job.

Spyderco makes no perfect knives, but it makes so many near-perfect ones that choice abounds, and favorites are next to impossible to declare. What's not to like?

Customer service that's beyond reproach. :)

Adventurous designs with great ergonomics and very high performance.
In my experience, Spyderco ensures that their standards are always as high or higher than the ELU. And that makes a real difference. I don't think I know of a 'lemon' knife that they've ever made!

Because they're an always constant companion for me, like putting on clothes everyday! As stupid as this sounds, one day not too very long ago I forgot my wallet but guess where my Manix was? In my RFP where it always is!
Re: Why I love Spyderco! What's your reason?
As a total newbie... they look super cool, are ergonomic, durable, come from the factory stupid sharp, are easy to sharpen (the 5 I have anyways) and are reasonably priced vs. many other high end manufacturers.
The company seems like they are run and employ great people too.
Great warranty as well.....
I could go on, I guess.... ;-)

Product line that evolves with new material and designs, but stays true to good business practices.
Nice designs.
Made in USA still a thing.
Collaborations with makers.
Sal's presence here with his customers. I hope Eric picks this up, too, at some point.
Collectibility of products. Knives that actually go up in value!
Been a customer since the 80s!
