Spyderco challenge coin
Spyderco challenge coin
Hi guys,
Does Spyderco produce challenge coins? Not the general triangular coins that are everywhere, but a real round challenge coin? It would be interesting. Maybe Spyderco forum coin...
Also wouldn't mind seeing a Spyderco velcro backed patch:)
What do you all think?

Re: Spyderco challenge coin
They have a least one that I'm aware of. There may have been other versions as well.
Sal was gracious enough to send me the coin on the left for my son who's a US Marine. According to his assistant, this one had traveled around the world with Sal. I told my son he'd better cherish it (he's become a Spyderco fan too, so I know he does). I was told they didn't have any more but they were working on having some more made.

Nice, I like it!
I like the triangle shape ok, but the text is what has kept me from buying it. I’d prefer something less “sheepdog”.

I love my triangle one but really wish it had some more heft to it

I like the triangle one, however I do wish it included first responders as well. I’m not in the military or LEO.

Re: Spyderco challenge coin
I like them both. I’m not in the military, LEO, prison guard, EMT or first responder of any kind, yet a better statement for the inside of the triangular coin would be, "Support The 2nd Amendment."
I support the 2nd Amendment Organizations of GOA, NRA, FPC, SAF, and "Knife Rights"

Re: Spyderco challenge coin
I would also prefer a civilian version of the coin, in whatever shape Spyderco wishes. Maybe a Latin motto like “Ars longa, vita brevis” or “ bono malum superate”, perhaps “ductus exemplo” would fit?

Re: Spyderco challenge coin
Just one of the many ways Spyderco honors and supports United States military and law enforcement personnel. I think it's as simple as that.
I remember Sal saying something about carrying some of these on him to give away to first responders he may come across on a day to day basis.

Re: Spyderco challenge coin
Spyderco sent me a triangular coin. I am a veteran and am just fine with their tribute to armed defenders only on this one.

Re: Spyderco challenge coin
It would be cool to have something related to the 2nd amendment or related to being a "prepared citizen", but I can see where that wouldn't have as broad of an appeal. I could see it being successful to have the current military/police coin (maybe with a first responder coin as well) in addition to a round coin that had a nice large bug on one side, with the flip side having a border saying "Golden Colorado USA Earth" around a favorite Golden made model like a PM2 or Native. They could even change up the pictured model every year to make them collectable.

Re: Spyderco challenge coin
These are cool. I’ve never set out to buy a challenge coin, however in my time in the knife community I have acquired a few. They’re pretty cool and I would be interested in seeing more from Spyderco.
