Spyderco Forums

Spyderco is excellent as is. I for one would not want to purchase a knife with rainbow or other "dazzling" colored coatings. There are already many good ideas for modifications, additions, and alterations that have been put forth here on this forum by other regular Spyderco collectors and users, such as expansions of already-existing lines like the H1 Stainless Steel Salt line, Hawkbills, etc.

2. Stop putting holes on fixed blade knives... not everyone have a hole fetish.

3. Put on rainbow colored coatings, bronze colored coatings in three different shades (not on the same blade) on select knives.

This is what I came up with for now.

you're the guys whos going to start a new knife company right? why are you divulging all your product strategy secrets then?

1. Make a new account on Bladeforums since your last one got banned.

2. Start a thread in General Discussion.

3. Titled Dear Kershaw.... ask that Kershaw start their own forum on their website... or maybe even reopen their Bladeforums subforum.

4. I'll pray and voodoo that Thomas and Jimmer obliges.

5. You can moan about flippers, rainbow blades, no holes, Leeks, and troll over there instead of here.

6. Reserve your better posts here. Happy ending.

Option 2... After 1., just post your surefire ideas on Bladeforums General.

Because I don't see other knife makers as a potential threat?

Or people looking for rainbow blades as potential customers.

The rainbow people wants their rainbow blades.

Uhhhhhhh

Anyone else ever get this mental picture that I have right now? Of Sal and Kristi sitting at a computer screen at the office eating popcorn and laughing as we desperately try to keep the footprints shiny. What a forum we have.


I haven't commented yet and will stay out of this one any further.

Always amazed with the patience Sal and Kristi show. I'm nowhere near as adept at it, though I try my best to restrain myself here as it's not my house.

Suppressing fiiiiiiirrrrrre!

I have heard stories about the internet people having no humor... you proved it to me.

Fair enough. Random gif cat approves.

Hi Mikael,
While we do make it a habit of listening to our customers and many customer suggestions are implemented into our knives... we like being who we are. We're not into following trends or others for that matter. We tend to lean towards innovation and functional reliable high-performance.

You keep being you and we'll keep being us.
