A gift for you from spyderco. Desiderata

[Dano1987]

I have this but I don't know what the story of it is. It's from when my mother worked there in the 90s. Its on a black plastic plack the size of a piece of paper it says A gift for you from spyderco and has the desiderata poem. Anyone know?

Hi Dano,

We paid for a a license to make about 250 pieces. I guess we made about a hundred. I felt they were a great piece of wisdom that I wanted to share with the crrew so we engraved them and gave them as gifts.

Dano,
If you're ever looking to sell this, I'd pay top dollar. That poem has inspired me throughout my life and I've been a long time Spyderco fan. I'm sure you have some sentimental attachment to it though.

Sal,
Thanks for the insight into this piece. Keep up the great work with Spyderco.

Regards,
Moe

Awesome, just awesome. One more reason I find myself using nothing but spyderco knives.

Top notch ethics, designs, and materials.

Thank you very much for sharing this. Amazingly, I had never encountered this writing until today but it was very moving. I will be reading this daily for awhile!
