Autism awareness knife?
Autism awareness knife?
Spyderco does Breast cancer awareness knifes in pink scales. I think if they could do a puzzle piece design scale for Autism awareness would be awesome. It’s a very important movement as well as the scales would be amazing. Just an idea. Anyone else have any other cool ideas for charity groups that would make a cool knife?

Re: Autism awareness knife?
they also do the sage for alzheimer's and the thin lines and various others for leo orgs.
autism awareness would be a cool cause to support if spyderco felt so inclined. in the meantime, i have seen some aftermarket scales with puzzle piece designs. you may want to try that if you want to show your support now.

Re: Autism awareness knife?
I’d get one for sure MrJ…my niece works with special needs kids and I’ve met quite a few of them…they’re really sweet and thoughtful human beings
Re: Autism awareness knife?
Spyderco’s charitable contributions are truly admirable. They’ve partnered with a number of organizations over the years for a variety of different causes.
All pink handles knives = Living Beyond Breast Cancer.
Sage Series = Alzheimer’s Association, Colorado Chapter.
Mantra series = Parkinson’s Foundation.
Watu = Keep A Child Alive. (KCA)
Thin Blue Line series = Tunnels to Towers Foundation
Thin Red Line series = Wildland Firefighter Foundation
And most recently, a Delica with a special laser engraving is being sold to support the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund (NLEOMF).
More information on all of Spydercos Charitable Partnerships can be found here - https://www.spyderco.com/community/char ... 20services.

I believe partnering with an organization to help raise awareness of autism or aid any programs that assist individuals with autism would be another worthy cause for Spyderco to support.
I don’t believe it necessarily needs to have any signifying marks such as a puzzle piece or ribbon though. I understand the symbolism and do not mean to disparage them by suggesting they’re not needed. Just simply saying that I believe any model (or series) could be chosen to support this cause.
Just spitballing a quick idea but I think a bolster/scale connection in the shape of two puzzle pieces could be cool. Probably difficult to do on a production scale but it would look really cool, in my opinion.

Re: Autism awareness knife?
Just a wild guess but I suspect the awareness models are the result of the org itself wanting to partner with Spyderco.

Re: Autism awareness knife?
I believe at one time years ago , a portion of Native sales was donated to a Native American organization. I agree with your thoughts Nick that just a model be chosen and not a special design . I think it should follow process as other contributions to other organizations. DanMushroom wrote: ↑Tue Jan 30, 2024 8:57 pmSpyderco’s charitable contributions are truly admirable.

Re: Autism awareness knife?
I like the idea, I know a number of people who either have Autism or their kids do. An Autism awareness collaboration would be cool. I like both ideas of puzzle piece scales or just dedicating a model to be the Autism awareness model.
I terms of a dedicated model, I think either the Wooden Kit Dragonfly, or the Wooden Kit Lil Native would be suitable since they are puzzles already.

Re: Autism awareness knife?
There was a version of the NLEOMF Delica a decade ago (not “most recently”) with a blue FRN handle and their logo etched on the blade, just FYI.

Correct there was a version a decade ago but it was discontinued for a long time.RadioactiveSpyder wrote: ↑Wed Jan 31, 2024 9:04 amThere was a version of the NLEOMF Delica a decade ago (not “most recently”) with a blue FRN handle and their logo etched on the blade, just FYI.
Just FYI, a new version of it, with an updated laser engraving, was recently created and re-released as well.
Making it the “most recent” charity that Spyderco has partnered with. Thank you.

Re: Autism awareness knife?
So, it’s one of the earliest but also the most recent - makes complete sense.
No offense Nick but it’s your answers like that that make me not want to post in this forum anymore.

I do not believe the semantics are all that important in this situation. If you don’t want to call it a “recent” charitable partnership… okay, that’s fine.
