4 SPYDERCO TV COMMERCIALS FROM 1998!!!! ON YOUTUBE!!

#1

Post by LouisSeacamp »

So I saw that one PRCA TV commercial from the late 90's and I decided to start calling around to see if any of my old com padres had any of the old copies and one of them came through so I threw them up on YouTube so you guys could see them, all you have to do is Go to YouTube and look for LouisSeacamp, just below the first video click on the picture above my name and you can see them all.

Ah them old memories kick'en in....

Have fun guys, see ya all down the road!

Louis, this is a great bit of history! Thank you for sharing. It's pretty cool how many of these designs are still so relevant today .

Here's the direct link to Mr. Seacamp's YouTube channel with the four videos:

I'm happiest with Micarta and Tool Steel.

Top four in rotation: K390 + GCM PM2, ZCarta Shaman, Crucarta PM2, K390 + GCM Straight Spine Stretch.

Those are really cool to see. They were all great but that Rescue commercial was my favorite. Thanks so much for sharing!

i really like the old hollow grind and swedge of the old native. i wish that would find it's way back. such a cool looking blade. that design with a combo or se blade would be great on the native salt.

nice ads! One thing that bothered me tho is that Rescue commercial where the mother doesn't have any trace of worry when the fireman handed her the baby. i guess I was expecting someone all teary and hysterical, or maybe the firefighter gave the baby to the wrong mother?

Seeing that one video made me wish they still made the FRN version of the Cricket.

Maybe I have completely misunderstood the cricket but I can't quite imagine any woman saying "Yes! That's the Spyderco for me!" - and using it to cut flower stems.
I mean I Iike knives but that S blade scares the pants off me!

Ok..... It's a commercial, they're trying to sell new models.... And stuff that isn't really jumping off the shelf like the kitchen cutlery!

They're cool commercials, I was just startled by the sight of that Cricket! I'm guessing the rescue blade was an easier sell!

Some interesting trivia about that particular Moki design. The two birds are made with different materials. One is stainless and the other is nickle silver.

We made T-shirts and bumper stickers with that saying. It was our most popular T-shirt wen we gave them out to the crew. One of my more infamous sayings. :o
