Spyderco, Inc.
Spyderco, Inc. is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of high-performance folding knives, fixed blades, and sharpeners. Founded in 1976, we initially focused on innovative systems that sharpened all cutting tools, including knives with serrated blades. In 1981, we expanded our scope and literally redefined the form of the modern folding knife by incorporating one-handed opening via our iconic Trademark Round Hole™, convenient top-of-the-pocket carry with a pocket clip, and the aggressive cutting power of a serrated edge. As Spyderco grew, so did our list of industry-changing accomplishments. In the late 1980s, our iconic Police™ model set the standard in law enforcement cutting tools. In the 1990s, our Endura® and Delica® helped pioneer lightweight injection-molded knife handles. We were also the first to partner with noted custom knifemakers in our groundbreaking collaborative designs and established our U.S. factory in Golden, Colorado. Along the way, we earned scores of utility and design patents and many prestigious awards from the knife industry. Our product line now includes more than 200 folding, fixed-blade, and kitchen knives and a complete selection of sharpeners. Spyderco’s manufacturing network includes a factory at our U.S. headquarters in Golden, Colorado, as well as resources in Japan, Taiwan, Italy, and China, all of which maintain the same exacting attention to detail and commitment to excellence that made our first knives distinctively different. Our worldwide distribution includes dealers and distributors in more than 60 countries. We serve the needs of the military, law enforcement, and first responders through our Government Services Administration (GSA) contract. We also support active uniformed personnel and military veterans through our OpFocus® professional purchase program. Every Spyderco product is backed by a limited warranty and our relentless commitment to providing reliable high performance in all our products.www.spyderco.com

Grant LamontagneHOST
I call them dog bones.
Grant LamontagneHOST
They're just triangular sharpeners similar to the ones found on the Spyderco Sharpmaker series.
Grant LamontagneHOST
And they've got these rubber ends on them that make them sort of like a dog bone shape.
Grant LamontagneHOST
I've got one from Gatco and one from Lansky.
John KirkwoodGUEST
Edge killers.
John KirkwoodGUEST
Yeah, that's it exactly.
John KirkwoodGUEST
And the problem was, and this comes back to where I have such great indifference around Spydercos, for example.
John KirkwoodGUEST
where a couple of the ones I've been using that the edge is gone.
MercHOST
I carried a Swayback.
MercHOST
The GOAT Spyderco.
MercHOST
You really love the Swayback.
MercHOST
Dude, I'm the number one Swayback fan.
VexHOST
There we go.
VexHOST
There's another one.
Donovan JohnsonGUEST
I remember when that knife was shared as a photo on the Spyderco forum long before there was even plans to have it made.
Donovan JohnsonGUEST
And that photo was so popular on the forums that it got shared a million times and eventually Sal took notice.
PrestonHOST
Mm-hmm.
JoeHOST
Got some, uh, the Spyderco Matriarch, uh, 2.
PrestonHOST
Mm-hmm.
JoeHOST
That joker looks like it would cut guts in a hurry.
Rick DowlerGUEST
... like, new.
Rick DowlerGUEST
The all the time is my Spyderco, uh, knife.
Rick DowlerGUEST
I have a, a, a, a Sal and it's rust-proof and it is with me all the time.
Rick DowlerGUEST
I love that knife.
LoriHOST
There is so much product placement in that show.
LoriHOST
It is unreal how much product placement, even down to someone buys a knife, and they're like, "A Spyderco knife."
AmyHOST
[laughs]
LoriHOST
And I was like, "Kevin, Kevin has one of those." Like, I mean, everywhere ranging from Diet Coke to Spyderco knives, there's something for everyone on that show.
AmyHOST
Yeah.
AmyHOST
I'm sitting here trying...
Steven CrowderHOST
It's very common.
Steven CrowderHOST
Spyderco has some that are specifically for people who are on boats.
Steven CrowderHOST
It's well-known, but there's a trade-off.
Steven CrowderHOST
So this is something that is not new.
Wendy KnowlerGUEST
Gotta think carefully 'cause they're two similar ones.
Wendy KnowlerGUEST
Cash Converters, um, a branch up in Gauteng, uh, Meadowdale Mall to be exact, and he bought a Spyderco knife and- When he got home, he had a good look and he thought, "Mm-mm, something's just not right here.
Wendy KnowlerGUEST
I think this is fake." So he takes it back, and he's told, "No, this, you can't get your money back.
Wendy KnowlerGUEST
This is a grudge purchase.
David FreiheitHOST
Curious as to why.
David FreiheitHOST
You know, are they determining how crazy someone has to be, uh, in order to try to take their own li- life with a knife? Like, is it a, a razor blade type knife? Is it a butcher knife? Is it a Spyderco folder blade? Who, who knows.
David FreiheitHOST
"Clancy pleaded not guilty.
David FreiheitHOST
Her defense arguing that she lacked criminal responsibility.
HunterHOST
What do y'all got? They got to say, oh, you know, we're a bitch.
HunterHOST
Maybe they had three or four like Spyderco and all it goes.
HunterHOST
But if you want a really nice, like a gentleman's carry knife, bitch made.
HunterHOST
I was like, okay.
Dave PackardHOST
But the flip side is, yeah, I lost one of them one time at work.
Dave PackardHOST
It snagged and fell in a cardboard box.
Dave PackardHOST
And it was one, actually, it was a Spyderco.
Dave PackardHOST
I didn't even buy it.
John KirkwoodGUEST
You know, I've just, I've got to speak here.
John KirkwoodGUEST
If you didn't see my discussion last week about Spyderco, well, this is the Ambitious, which is pretty much my favorite Spyderco.
John KirkwoodGUEST
The thing of it is, it's one-hand opening, it's got pocket clips, liner lock, all that good kind of stuff on it.
John KirkwoodGUEST
And that is very much almost a modern sense of what a single-bladed pocket knife is.

Grant LamontagneHOST
but it's not.
Grant LamontagneHOST
So getting back to completely off topic, of course, because that's what we expect here at EDCTV and forum.multitool.org. Just an interesting thing, Inky, you were talking about liking your traditional American slip joints.
Grant LamontagneHOST
And last week, I think it was, John, you were talking about how much you didn't like Spydercos.
Grant LamontagneHOST
And it's just fascinating to see that we all kind of I don't want to say come from the same place, but we all have a lot of similarities, and yet there are key differences in what we like and what we use and what we choose.
