Fascinating...robotic edge sharpening on some models...that is EXCITING!!! :D

Sharing so much of their factory workings and familial insights in these mini-docs are another testament to the generosity of the Glesser family... :) :spyder:

Thanks for sharing Sal, Gail & Eric! Thanks for posting Scroop :)

[SpyderNut]

Bravo, Spyderco! That was amazing. Just an incredible story all around. Thanks for posting, Scroop.

@Paladin,
That robotic sharpening arm is wicked! :D Man, I think I could sit and watch that thing fo its thing all day. Incredible!

[paladin]

Yup...SpyderNut...I agree-- almost hynotic... :eek:

And with a robotically set edge angle...well.... there's nowhere to go but downhill with this ELU :o

Some very interesting videos. It was cool to get a peek behind the curtains. As for the sharpening robot arm, I have to agree, pretty cool.

My only complaints are that they didn't color correct between the two cameras, so there was a distracting color shift when they switched angles between cameras, and that they seemed to have turned the camera sharpening up to 11. I like my knives to get their sharpness cranked way up, but not my video. :p

[Scroop]

I would love to do a multi-segment with Sal and Eric describing their conceptual to final production designs.
How about a 5 cam studio chain w/a 20' jib...it would be EPIC

[remnar]

Great videos! I really enjoyed watching them. :)
Thank you Glessers and BHQ. :spyder:

Proud to be a Spyderco collector and user.Great job Sal and Eric :spyder:

[Jazz]

Awesome! Another great start to my day.

[DutchBlades]

I know I'm preaching to the choir on this, but what an amazing company it is...
I don't care if you like knives or hate them, anyone should respect and value their philosophy and way of doing what they do.

Yet again a great video that will be watched several times :D Makes me proud to be a member here and a loyal Spyderco customer!

[Almoe66]

Man, do I need a robot!

Another great video! Thanks to BHQ and Spyderco for taking the time to do this :)

Hi Folks!


THX Much for the link. :)

And even better than the first part! :spyder:

Best cutlery documentary vids I've seen in a very long while. :D

[Cliff Stamp]

Nice to see water cooling.

It would be nice to see some more specific statements at times as often there are references to goals/quality which are hard to interpret .

How for example has the process improved to allow moving the knives closer to customs which could not be achieved in the past. What exactly is being talked about?

I think Sal / Eric / Spydercrew were quite forthcoming and I was actually surprised at the level of disclosure they laid out for all the worldwideweb to survey. :eek:

Trade secrets, tactics, or strategy may be involved.... :cool:

[RadioactiveSpyder]

These two videos were really great to watch and so highly informative! Makes me all the more excited to finally be able to meet these guys in person at the Oregon knife show in a few weeks.

Many thanks to BHQ and Spyderco for making these! Cheers, Radioactive :)

[Sushimoto]

Yes, a great sequel to the first shop tour. It too makes me proud to be Spyderco customer, and humbled to be here on the forum. Thanks Spyderco and Blade HQ.

[Lobo.joe]

Very cool. Thanks for sharing. I live in Denver, and visit the factory outlet store as often as I can. Yesterday, for the new Mule Team 20. The factory expansion looks great, and it must be exciting to be getting a brand new facility to continue building knives better. And with a grand trademark circular window to boot! Oh how I wish I could get a real tour of this process with Sal and Eric. Oh well, this video was a very well done snap-shot of it all. Thank you Spyderco.
