Talk:Spyderco

message: Nothing ventured, nothing gained, right?
I don't know much about the history of the company, and the website is not too informative on that score. My recollection is that they started out in Texas and moved to Golden in the '80s, and that they've since expanded the factory / moved the factory outlet / etc.
:: http://spyderco.com/edge-u-cation/ has some more info. --User24 14:35, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  I'm not sure it should; perhaps a description of a classic spyderco knife, but really I think an image would suffice (perhaps of the Native FRN; it's got the form, handle and serrations that make a spyderco knife what it is). Agree that the spyderfly is not indicative of spyderco's product range --User24 15:39, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  which claims? I've tried to cleanup the 'Steel Pioneers' section (now renamed 'Blade Steels', for one thing). --User24 14:35, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

text: the page has changed significantly http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Spyderco&diff=85849057&oldid=75375260 since you added this, would it be OK to remove the (advert) template now? --User24 14:35, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Misc

message: I'm in favour of removing this list altogether; the importance of these people is not asserted; are they legends in the knifemaking world or just random designers? (If they are legends, please add some references)
I'm also thinking that the 'collaborations' sections needs expanding slightly, at least with references to models that have been collaborated on, and maybe who it was that collaborated.

thread_title: List of Collaborators

message: some things that IMO should be considered:
*see 'list of collaborators, above'
*find some non-spyderco references for the article
*remove the 'needs references' templates (by finding references, that is)

thread_title: Cleanup Blade Steel

message: Why is spyderco given credit for all the steel types? should be it's own page or on cold steel or buck or ontario or victorinox or leatherman or fallkniven or....  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.176.244.173 (talk) 00:48, 18 July 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Blade Steels 

message: Quote from the article: "H-1, a rust-proof "steel", ideal for marine applications, because it substitutes nitrogen for carbon. Sharpens easily, scratches easily, and has good edge retention." => Is the edge retention of this nitrogen based blade less good or equal good than the edge retention of carbon steel? As a general rule I heard stainless steel has a less good edge retention than carbon steel. But I dont know it for nitrogen based steel. --User1973 (talk) 21:30, 17 November 2012 (UTC)
