A friend gave me a few knife magazines yesterday, one of them was a Japanese magazine called Knife. It has an article on Seki Spydercos, unfortunately all the writing is in Japanese but there are some cool pics of the factory and knives. Maybe somebody could provide a translation?

Spyderco by G.Sakai
Thanks for the unique find! A brief synopsis from one of our Japanese forum members (or someone that can read Japanese) would be greatly appreciated.
People say, oh it's dangerous to keep weapons in the home, or the workplace. Well I say, it's better to be hurt by someone you know, accidentally, than by a stranger, on purpose. - Dwight The Office
It's okay for me to talk about my job, as long as I'm not specific. I am the Sergeant of a three-man Rapid Tactical Force at one of America's largest indoor retail shopping areas. - Gecko_45
The more you learn about knives, the better Spyderco looks. - Sal

Well, you probably already figured out that under each knife's picture is its name written in katakana, along with specs including size and material. I may be able to coerce a friend into providing a translation of the text, but it'll take a little while... I'll see if I can get it done. btw, thanks for sharing the article.
One of my EDCs is a G Sakai which I purchased in Seki city. I like it a lot. My other EDCs are Spydies, of course. I go to Seki every year for the knife festival. It's a great day out.
The bottom two are from Seki, the top from Golden (though bought in Seki).
