Spyderco Forums

The owner has had a pharmacy license for close to 50 years so retirement or change in work load may be a reason. Hope a happy healthy retirement is the plan!!!

the website was a bit cumbersome to use but they were great on the phone

I remember learning about them 25+ years ago on the knife forums. they will be missed

In 2007 I ordered the Endura ZDP189 from NGK and it came with a CC number . I contacted them and they said it was their CC number and they just throw them in stock . I’m sad to hear they are going out of business. MG2

Beautiful blade. What are CC numbers? I think a couple of mine have them. Can't remember where I bought them.

CC stands for Collector Club . If one signs up a number is assigned . MG2

This is sad new, indeed. Why are they closing? Is the owner simply retiring? I hope that's the case and not finacial issues.

I think it’s a little bit of all of that. Ellisha at NGK told me they were “hit with the perfect storm of low revenue and staffing issues”.

Sad to hear that the "Pharmacy" is shutting down, brings back a lot of memories of when I started buying Spydercos. New Graham and Cutlery Shoppe where my two go-to stores.

They were so great to work with. I still miss Steve!

I hope Mike is happy about the change.

I was unaware of the pharmacy connection, but now that I know, I can't help thinking there is a clue buried somewhere in this story. One guy dabbling in two wildly different industries, which both just happen to be highly addictive...

This was posted at Bladeforums last Friday.
We'll see what happens in July.

Really sad to see this, but I know things change. Ordered many times from them (and possibly one of my first orders too), always a great experience.
Reminds me of when Howes closed.

New Graham is my local knife shop. This is so sad. Their showroom was beautiful, staff was great, and just a great overall experience.

[They are no longer receiving new shipments of Spyderco knives (sadly including my CC 087s)

I own a few of your CC 087s. Thank you for turning down the Rex 45 Manix LW, it's one of my favorites.

The pharmacy isn't closing down to my knowledge. It's a very successful local business. I wouldn't be surprised to learn it subsidized the NGKs for a time until this decision was made
