How did you learn about this new forum?

Subject speaks for itself. Thanx for the input.

Hi,

I learned on this forum from a link at Spyderco.com.

All the best,

[dalerich]

I keep an eye on the Spyderco web page and discovered something new! Thanks for providing the space and investing the time to this forum. Have you thought about mentioning this to the Bladeforums members? I would do it if you thought it appropriate.

[sal]

Dalerich - actually, we thought it would be "improper" to make an announcement on
Bladeforums. Advertising a competitive forum would perhaps be a litle "tacky?".

We also wanted a little time to get used to the new "action". Vin, Joyce and I will be moderating.

We thought we'd give it a few days and see what happens. It has been "interesting" getting to here so far. A whole new site is in the making now. It will still be 6 - 8 weeks before it comes up.

Yesteday was our first "live" day and we've already got two visitors. Thanx for the time and effort.

There might be some advantages to having a forum on our own site. Time will tell.

[Dexter Ewing]

Hi Sal - Joyce told me...don't tell her I said that or I'll be in trouble :)

[Joyce Laituri]

Dexter,
You ARE in trouble buddy! (now you're forgiven)

Welcome everyone to the new Spyderco Forums!

Joyce

[sal]

Hi Dex. Hi Joyce. I Guess we're live and operating.

This has to be a "fun" forum. "Life without humor is no fun!"

We're gonna' need a contest to kick this off. I like the one Joyce spoke of with the "Spyderco gift certificate". Any other ideas?

[dsvirsky]

Stumbled on it by accident -- was aiming for the "discontinued" link without really looking at the screen.

Dsvirsky - Welcome to the new Spyderco forum. Hope you'll "stumble" in now then.

Welcome everyone.
Good to see action so soon.
Well back to vacation.

[Clay Kesting]

G'day Sal and crew. Look out, here comes the Antipodean connection :). I came to see if the new web page was up yet and noticed the link to the Forum. Looks like there's somewhere else I'm going to have to drop by every day :).

BTW I like the idea of a contest as long as I win, Ferret's been impossible to talk to since he won the other one :).

Take care,
Clay

[sal]

G'day Clay. Glad you could drop in. Thanx also for all of the support and attention on the Bladeforums' Spyderco spot. We appreciate your support.

I'll see if I can fix the contest when Joyce and Vin aren't watching.

[John V]

Hey guys! Great idea. How did I find it? I just came over to the Spyderco website to see what was up, and found it! Can't wait to see how it goes. And what's this about a new website? What is going to be different from the current one to the new one? Just a new look, or a complete re-vamping? Either way, can't wait to see it.


John V

[Clay Kesting]

Thanks for the welcome, Sal. Actually I really enjoy hanging around over at the other place because it still has the friendly, relaxed atmosphere the forums had in the early days. Unfortunately that feeling has been lost as the forums have got bigger but I'm sure you will encourage it here. Of course I'm also a big fan of your products, in fact they are the only knives I own :). I must say I was somewhat surprised to see that you have started another forum as I'm amazed you find enough time to do as much on the net as you do already. 'Course, like most of us I'm very grateful that you do :).

Take care,
Clay

[sal]

JohnV - Welcome to the Spyderco forum. The entire site will be revised.

Clay - I'll have help with this one. Vin & Joyce as well as several others have committed to assist.

We felt that it would be better to have a forum of our own. We can handle both at this time, but we didn't feel that we liked being competely dependent on Bladeforums for our communication with our internet oriented "extended family".

As you mentioned, it's getting pretty large over there. Most ELU that go the our site don't know that there is a Spyderco forum at Bladeforums, so we may miss quite a few potential visitors.

We plan on a Spyderco dealers forum here. Really not possible over there, passwords & all. We can announce specials here or refer to our items for sale. Something that would be a conflict with Bladeforums own store. etc.

sal

[Kdarmy]

Well, Hello Sal! Quite a surprise when I saw the forums here. I found this because I wanted to find out what would be the cost's of some of the replacement parts on my new SpydeRench if I lost say the file or worse...a whole side!

I wanted to check here first before I asked on BF, & thats when I saw the forums here.

Kindest Regards,
Keith D.Armacost

I was researching patents and went to spyderco.com to check a model number and saw the link.

I am the guy that sent the fixed blade picture yesterday of my design.

This will be a well used forum for most of us.

Thanks for setting it up.

I am a few days late but I made it. I just found out about this forum over at Bladeforums.I hope that I can help out over here. I have some neat Spydie pics on my site if anyone wants to peek. Hi Joyce, Sal and Vince.

[cerulean]

Hey everyone! Looks like a lot of the BladeForum gang has stopped in. I also came here after seeing the BF link.

[sal]

Hi guys. Guess the words out. We'll be maintaining both forums. Mike & Spark have always been helpful and really got us going.

sal

[ET]

Yup, you can blame it all on Bladeforums.com

PS: The forums look really nice and clean cut. I especially like the logo instead of the picture of the Military on the yellow background like it is at Bladeforums

[Tommi]

I found info about this while reading Spyderco Forum at Bladeforums.com.

[Ferret]

Thanks to Clay I'm here with you all, howdy:) It'll be interesting to see how this develops.

I was told about this at the Blade Forum's Spyderco Forum.

thanks.

Hello all,
cool to have a Forum directly on the Spyderco site. I found this new forum via a link posted at the Spyderco section of www.messerforum.net ,the only German language knife nuts forum (although there´s an English section there as well - you´re welcome).

[sam the man..]

some guy posted the link and "poof!" I'm at SPYDERCO's forum. Anyway folks, this a real good added value service! Keep up the good work!

[Serg]

Hi Sal and crew!
How did I learn about this new forum? Hmmm, frankly with my laziness I could miss it for year or longer...
Nice Spyder-Lady Joyce invited me here.
Thanks Joyce!

Sal - I just found out about your new forum on Bladeforums.com. It 'll be difficult to monitor both effectively, but you'll find me on both. I just hope those whose advice I've come to trust on the bladeforums site will come on over here as well!!!

[Lonehunter]

Was just checking out Spydercos site.

[Matt Franklin]

A few years back I was working in a coffee shop with a guy who uses his Stainless Police to break down boxes. I was very impressed with the sleek design of the knife. I remembered Spyderco's unique name. Now that I'm more interested in collecting knives, I just searched for you on the web.
This is a great site. Sal, I really appreciate being able to get your feedback on different topics. I'm know you are a very busy man. In fact everyone on this site has been very helpful. Thanks for making Spyderco a more personable company.

I saw a link to this forum from the Blade Forum site. I'm always looking to learn about new things coming up from Spyderco.

Sal - as you requested ideas for a contest, I'd ask that, rather than a gift certificate (which is very kind indeed), I'd recommend that you give away a knife (or three) that are more unique, or harder to find (carbon fiber proto comes to mind from a recent Blade forum contest).

Just a suggestion!

[Paul Work]

New to this forum. I saw it on the Spyderco web page. Cuerrently own 3 Spydies, Standard (since '86-'87), Spydercard, and Native. Had a few others but traded/gave them away. Shouldn't have done that!! One of the best values for the bucks I've found.

[Paani]

Lokelani told me : )

[stevenator]

I just bought my first Spyderco Knife, so I thought I'd cruze on over the the Spydie site, and I saw the link.

For years I've carried nothing but Cold Steel Knives, but I am so impressed with the quality of my new Native, that has changed.

This forum was a great idea!

[jyork]

I found it on the Spyderco home web page. I have carried a spyderco for about 5 years now and have in the last 3 months or so gotten into collecting them and currently have over 30 of them. You guys keep making them and we'll keep buying them.

[HomeRun]

From YOUR website here Spyderco!

Hi Ya Sal! <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

[ftkinney]

went to the web page to look at the possible knives to purchase and figued i could get good advice. thanks for all the avice after resoving to buy ONE clip knife for my pocket. not wanting or really able to cary a sheathed folder any more, i heard spyderco makes an terrific product now i own THREE! as some one said: you can't just buy one, how true.

FTK

[Mancer]

Well its a long story so sit back.
I had a cheap Swissgear multitool, it did a good job but wanted something of good quality, I desided on a Leatherman, but a buddy that works with me in the IT field said he would go for a Gerber, I didnt have a clue who or what Gerber was.
That same day a large chainstore had a xmas sale and they happened to have the 800 Gator, I purchased this and then heard about Pertinax from him (his cousin works at www.pertinax.co.za)
After that I bought the tool addon for the gerber and fell in love with the Mark II and Guardian Backup.
Only prob was they arrived blunt, I wasnt willing to send them to USA as this would cost me a fortune, so off I went looking for a sharpener, thats where Spyderco comes up.
Did a search and read about the 204, saw it on Pertinax's site, purchased it and fell in love with the blades I saw.
Started buying like mad, I then wanted to see the other products made by Spyderco and I took a chance at pumping the url of &quot;www.spyderco.com&quot; in my browser.
Wammo, there I was with a button saying &quot;Forum&quot; right infront of my face, started reading like mad and the rest is history.
Love my Gerbers but love my Spydies more, the last 6-8 blades Ive purchased have all been spydies, the next 100 will prollie still be,lol

Well thats how I ended up here.

Never again will I be embarrassed about resurrecting a thread that has been dead a couple or more days.

When I began reading this thread, and before I realized how old it was, I was pretty sure that I learned of this forum at the Spyderco forum at BFC. Then, someone posted about seeing the link on the home site. I've seen it there. And, I think it possible that it was mentioned over at Knife Forums, where I only occasionally lurk.

Sorry to say, just can't be sure where I learned of this forum. All I can say is am glad I did. Decided to use different user name than on the other forums, and it is a kick.

Expecting to buy my 4th Spydie, a Wegner in the next few days. And the beat goes on . . .

[ftkinney]

The Stare -- my of my first spyderco was a wenger i don't think you will be disapionted.

[vampyrewolf]

Guess I should add my answer...

I was searching up more knives for my collection, after owning my Delica for just over a year(in July). I was so impressed with the quality, I just had to get a friend for it.

I got the site from the catalouge, and stumbled upon this forum and the wealth of knowledge it contains.

Now, I got the Delica in June '99. I got the LadyBug in Feb 2001. I recently added the Cricket in Mar 2001, as a B'day present for myself.

[Jeweler]

I was doing a search and this old classic tread appearred and I thought it would make some real good reading. It did I loved seeing how the forum started.

After checking out this site, it renewed my &quot;Spyderlove&quot;, and after my watch, I log on every night!
Please keep up the great work!
