Hello and welcome aboard! <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle> The man in question : is Sal Glesser and his talented team of people at Golden, Colorado.
If you want to know more about the origin of Spyderco, you'll find a beautifully written biography about the company's humble beginning in a book called &quot;The Spyderco Story&quot; written by Kenneth Delavigne and published by Paladin Press.

Hi Elwood. Welcome to the Spyderco forum.

My wife, Gail, and I started Spyderco in 1976 in Redding, California. It was a &quot;low cost&quot; upstart.

We began making sharpeners in 1978. We began making folding knives in 1981, starting with the Clipit &quot;Worker&quot; model.

We are currently located in Golden, Colorado. We have approx 60 crew.
