The Kindness of the Spyderco Crew!
I am incredibly touched by a huge bunch of flowers that arrived a few minutes ago...and I mean huge!
Sent by the Spyderco crew, of course! :)
My 83 year old Dad, Gerald, had a left hand stroke last Wednesday here in New Zealand, and I and my family, especially my Mom, have been taking the strain...
He can partially use his left hand, ( he is/was right handed ) and how long he will take to heal is unknown at this time...
( I told Rebecca at Spyderco in passing, via a few emails about his health )
We will see my Dad in the hospital later on today, and pass on the wishes of the Best Little Knife Company in the Universe... :) :) :)
My eyes are not exactly dry at this time, must be dust or sumtin' else... :o
Thank you kindly, Rebecca especially, and Sal, Gail and Eric...
You have truely shown that Spyderco and guys and gals like us, are part of one BIG family...

I truly believe that the spyderco crew are some of the most compassionate people in the entire knife community.
Re: The Kindness of the Spyderco Crew!
As always stand out people. They amaze me all the time.

I feel your pain, my mother has been in the hospital for over a month now for the same thing. Best wishes.
All SE all the time since 2017

That is an incredibly kind gesture indeed. This is one of those things that will stay with you for forever. I will be praying for your dad's recovery, Stuart.

Re: The Kindness of the Spyderco Crew!
geez, it's been a bad stretch here for Spyderco fan's parents
my father is also in the hospital now with a left side stroke... his is only moderate, though he can't walk and has no dexterity in his left hand.
My best wishes to you and your dad for a swift and complete recovery, and my gratitude to Spyderco for displaying its human side!
Here's to the rest of 2016 being uneventful :)

Re: The Kindness of the Spyderco Crew!
That is great! The folks at SPyderco are wonderful.
2015 and beginning of 2016 was a bad time for a lot of us. My wife and I both spent Christmas in the hospital and she only just got out 2 days ago.
