Folding knives Spiderco

Spyderco is a well-known American company engaged in manufacturing folding knives. Established in 1978, before the appearance of its first knife, the company engaged in accessories for sharpening for three years. Directly folding knives Spiderko began their history only in 1981, when the light saw the first of them - C01 Worker. Almost immediately the company became famous, and its products are very popular. In the past thirty years this popularity has only grown, and now it is impossible to find a man who knows a little bit about knives so that he does not know the knives of Spiderko.

Quality and marketing

The reasons for the company's popularity and products are, first of all, competent marketing, high quality of products and constant innovation. All these qualities are interrelated and complementary. So, it would seem, a banal hole in the blade (according to which Spiderko knives are now recognizable), is nothing but a trademark! And the application of this decision by another manufacturer will entail the payment of a substantial remuneration to the company for the use of the patent and trademark. Initially, the production was organized in Japan, where actually the first knives were made. Japanese masters - the best guarantee of blade quality. But in 1990, problems with the uncomfortable yen-dollar rate forced the company to move the assembly of knives and making handles to them in the US.

Innovation

Speaking about the knives of Spiderko, you should always use the concepts "new", "first", "not having analogues". Indeed, many of the now usual design techniques or technical solutions first saw the light precisely in the manufacture of knives of this company. So, for example, the servitor sharpening never before Spidermo was used on folding knives. Sal Glesser, the founder of the company, took more than a year to achieve universal recognition of his sharpening with a proprietary profile, a patent for which was received only in 1990.

The use of technologies of powder metallurgy with preservation of the highest quality of products is also the know-how of Spyderco. This allowed the company to produce models of relatively inexpensive folding knives with consumer qualities of the highest level. But not only the blades the American manufacturer paid attention to, since the handle and folding mechanism for the folding knife are no less important than the blade. And here new ergonomic materials for pens, a well-thought-out mechanism make Spidermo knives a benchmark for the quality of a modern folding knife. Even now, on any pocket knife clip for fixing on clothes or a belt - this is also the invention of Spyderco.

Conclusion

By and large, a folding knife, in the modern sense of it, is precisely because of this American company that has turned from a pen into a real tool of a hunter, a tourist, a soldier or a man who wishes to always be ready for anything. Important characteristics of Spyderco products are the prevalence and affordable price. Now any person can independently see the high consumer qualities of these folding knives and acquire in their person a reliable assistant. In our country they are offered by any serious knife store. Moscow, for example, provides an opportunity to purchase them in most weapons or specialized stores.
