That's so EXPENSIVE! ;)

I was expecting it to cost maybe $5, and I was gonna get two!
Maaaan, what's the deal--do they have to add skeletonized book covers, and hand-hone the binding? Is there G-10 involved somewhere?

:D :D :D ;) ;) ;)

Actually there was mention in another thread (I forget which one) about this. It also told how to get free shipping. That is how I got my copy for $10.00 even.

I wish they make an updated version. Many things (some of them really significant) happened since the events described in the book. :)

It's about pretty much everything Spyderco; the company, the knives, business philosophy and so forth.

The book is divided into four parts:
Part I: Knives
Part II: Sharpeners and Other Products
Part III: Technological Frontiers
Part IV: The Spyderco Philosophy

The book covers up to the year 2000. Most of us are really wishing for a second edition!

Maybe the reason for the cheap price is a liquidation of current stock in anticipation for the second edition...

I would love to have this book. But as long as only original is available, I would strongly advice anybody, who is interested in :spyder: to get one. Great reference material.

Go to their podcast. Look at the podcast for Sept.29. The promo code is at the end. ;) Free domestic shipping (ends 10/31). I'm getting my copy. :D

Thanks for the heads-up re. the book!

Unfortunately, no. Paladin actually discontinued it a few years ago, and then brought it back when they began in-house printing. Per their latest dealer newsletter, they are discontinuing it again--probably for good.

Stay safe,

Hmmm, interesting. How is the quality of their printing compared to the earlier edition? That was well-printed and well-bound on good paper. Is Paladin matching that???
