This person seems to be a teen with too much time on his hands. Don't take him to heart forumites, you run into disrespectful people where ever you go.

It is quite an interesting problem you posted here, as spyderco should mak guns. You should know that a business can be founded based on three criteria: First, is the capital (or the assets) of the firm; the second, is the specific competences of that firm; the third: personal preferences of the owners and/or associates. Now, thinking at Spyderco, I don't know if the firm has the money to build and maintain a guns business, but it definitely lacks the competence, and perhaps the personal preferences. Or, to be more clear, I'll give you an exemple: Coca-Cola surely has the money, but it has neither the competence, nor the will of making anything else than drinks. Spyderco does some metalworking, (and I think you are right, mostly in Japan, which is not necessarily a bad thing, they make great steel there) but here stops the similarity with a gun factory. Think only the R&D involved...
