Histories and Futures

[Michael G73]

Forumites and Spyderco peoples- could you all help me out a bit? I'm picking up the Spyderco Book one of these days- but not anytime too soon. I was seeking perhaps a bit of company history... I couldn't find much on the website.



Thanks!

Wow... I did find out one thing today (from another thread) I did not know that Mr. Sal was the owner of Spyderco.

That makes his presence- and his willingness to adopt ideas from out here- all the more incredible. Thanks, Sal! <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

Dude ~ The Spyderco Story is an indespensible resource to all Spydernuts.. <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle> Its highly detailed and inspiring to read... You'll appreciate the company's humble beginnings when Poppa and Momma Spyder Sal and Gail took it on the road to become an internationally acknowledged entity in the blade industry... <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

Michael,

IIRC Sal wrote a bit of a potted history in the early days of this forum. You may be able to find it using the search function. If you can't, let me know and I'll try to summarise the early part of the book for you.

Don't worry that the world might end tomorrow, in Australia it's tomorrow already.
