[edit] Misc

Nothing ventured, nothing gained, right?

I don't know much about the history of the company, and the website is not too informative on that score. My recollection is that they started out in Texas and moved to Golden in the '80s, and that they've since expanded the factory / moved the factory outlet / etc.

http://spyderco.com/edge-u-cation/ has some more info. --User24 14:35, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

Should the article get into descriptions of specific models? I would maybe come back and describe some of their notable / longstanding models. And the Spyderfly would not by any means be the first example I would think of. It's a popular new model, and has been well-received by people that like butterfly knives, but it doesn't represent the core Spyderco 'thing'. --67.174.98.96 01:56, 5 September 2005 (UTC)

I'm not sure it should; perhaps a description of a classic spyderco knife, but really I think an image would suffice (perhaps of the Native FRN; it's got the form, handle and serrations that make a spyderco knife what it is). Agree that the spyderfly is not indicative of spyderco's product range --User24 15:39, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

which claims? I've tried to cleanup the 'Steel Pioneers' section (now renamed 'Blade Steels', for one thing). --User24 14:35, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

When you get down to it, is this article an advertisement or a fan site? It is certainly not an encyclopedic entry. Sam 21:57, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

the page has changed significantly ^[1] since you added this, would it be OK to remove the (advert) template now? --User24 14:35, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] List of Collaborators

I'm in favour of removing this list altogether; the importance of these people is not asserted; are they legends in the knifemaking world or just random designers? (If they are legends, please add some references) I'm also thinking that the 'collaborations' sections needs expanding slightly, at least with references to models that have been collaborated on, and maybe who it was that collaborated. --User24 14:57, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
