Re: Invitation to the 17th Spyderco Meet in Amsterdam
And we're fully booked! We can still accept people for the reserves or standby-list.
Thank you all for the fast registrations!

Re: Invitation to the 17th Spyderco Meet in Amsterdam
I'm so happy to have the opportunity to meet long time friends of the forum, make new ones and see what Spyderco might bring us in the future !
Little question : Do we need to confirm the invitation or the fact the we received an e-mail confirming our registration is enough ?
Oh, and is it bad form to bring some of Eric's designs and boxes for him to sign ? (if he's willing and/or have the time to, of course)
In the collection : Lots of different steels, in lots of different (and same) Spydercos.

And you are free to bring along some boxes. My gf is doing the same.
Myself i was lucky enough to even have one signed by Sal the last Amsterdam meet he went to.
Re: Invitation to the 17th Spyderco Meet in Amsterdam
Thanks Dimi . That's something special. I would love to meet Sal once, even if I have to make a France-USA trip one day just for it. Having his signature on anything would make it a very special item for me !apollo wrote: ↑Thu Dec 28, 2023 5:08 amHi Robin , no you don’t need to confirm you are in.Ramonade wrote: ↑Wed Dec 27, 2023 7:25 pmI'm so happy to have the opportunity to meet long time friends of the forum, make new ones and see what Spyderco might bring us in the future !

Receiving the confirmation e-mail is enough. Please mention your number when we meet 'at the meet' so I can tick off your name.Ramonade wrote: ↑Wed Dec 27, 2023 7:25 pmLittle question : Do we need to confirm the invitation or the fact the we received an e-mail confirming our registration is enough ?

And yes you're absolutely welcome to bring a few boxes for Eric to sign. But please be mindful and don't bring your entire collection, so Eric has a chance to meet the other attendees as well at the meet.

I planned to only take the Domino and Dice, which are IMHO his best designs . Just being there will be a highlight in my Spyderco afi life already, everything else is just a bunch of red fruits on top.

Re: Invitation to the 17th Spyderco Meet in Amsterdam
I think this is really cool of Spyderco to put on. I hope you all have a fantastic time, but I know you will. Every year at Blade Show, we get to meet the people behind the company. They are every bit as passionate about this hobby as we are if not more. You see a bunch of up and coming companies/makers where the owners are engaging with their customers and excited to talk shop and share stories. But to see an established company with a lot going on worldwide still interact at this level with their customers is almost unheard of. Thank you all for those who put in the time every year to make events like this special!

Re: Invitation to the 17th Spyderco Meet in Amsterdam
I had really hoped to make it, but we will have a move starting soon. So, 59 and 60 were released to the reserve list. The cancellation emails have already been sent.

Your loss is my gain Sir. Hope all goes well on the upcoming move.

Re: Invitation to the 17th Spyderco Meet in Amsterdam
There's only one fear I have : I can only speak relatively well (in a poor accent) when I'm alone. Once I have a bit of stress my english becomes so sloppy it sounds like a soup !
In the collection : Lots of different steels, in lots of different (and same) Spydercos.

Re: Invitation to the 17th Spyderco Meet in Amsterdam
Nothing to fear, just remember most Americans can only speak one language so you have nothing to worry about.

Re: Invitation to the 17th Spyderco Meet in Amsterdam
Dont worry buddy most people sound and feel strange when speaking in another language as there own so you will not be the only one...
And by the way you will be amazed how calm and gentle Eric is to talk to! Talking to any Glesser in real life is like doing yoga for some reason Zen takes over te place.
Sal was even more chill to talk to. Wish he was still a bit younger and was able to still make the long trips like this one.
Also would wish my bosses would be more like Sal and Eric. There would be way less panic , and chaos at my job then i think.
Re: Invitation to the 17th Spyderco Meet in Amsterdam
I really wish all my European friends and fellow forum members a great Meet! (Of course also non Europeans , should any attend!)
REALLY have to make it myself next year (this year I already had a skitouring weekend arranged with some friends when I learned about the date of the Meet)!!
Not TOO far from Austria, and the last time I was in Amsterdam I was not even in my twenties or at best my early twenties I guess... (and had a super cheapo fixed blade with me on my way up north to the Lapland wilderness... )

Can’t wait to hear about how much there is to look forward to and as always very excited to see any photos Mr. Blonde can share with us!
