Spydie goes to Europe?

[dePaul]

Here is a controversial question. When is Spyderco going to "do a major moove" and establish itself as the leading Knife Co here? The potential is certainly there.



Has Spyderco ever been on those European Knife and Gun shows, like those in Germany?

I am living in Sweden and here, up north, you scarsely hear of Spyderco knives. The most common knife types around here (IMO very uggly) are the traditional Mora-, Persson style knives. There are of course some very good custom builders. However they are also making the Person style knife.



As it is now, when I want a special knife, I have to order from US, resulting in a twice as high the price <img src="sad.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>



Well, well, such is life...

Hi dePaul. Our Swedish distributor is quite active in promotion and has been with us for fifteen years. They (Ace &amp; Siv) were the one's that helped the Delica go up Mt. Everest with the Swedish team.

Spyderco would not be the one to &quot;go on TV&quot;, it would have to be the country distributor.

Hm, didn&#180;t know that about Mt Everest. Did you say &#197;ke and Siv? I have talked to them very briefly while they were visiting Gothenburg. He did a show on the 204 and had some Spyderco knives with him.

I was really eager to buy a new knife (Military) but unfortunately they didn&#180;t bring one with them so I just placed an order. Now, this was about 2 months ago.

However I don&#180;t know if I still want that one, now when I am expecting two Forum Military knives <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>
