That is one of the funniest things I have read in a LONG time!

Seriously now: a Spyderco/Benchmade merger? About the time Hell freezes over, I expect... :jerkit:

Yeah I've heard alot of BS at knife counters before but that guy could have fertilized half the country. Honestly I could see Case going down or Queen and cause I think slowly but surely slipjoints are going the way of the dinosaurs, Ontario may go bye bye if the courts order them to stop making Rat knives and their QC doesnt get ALOT better. But Spyderco especially with expanding with the Bryd line and now the Baliyo I just dont see it Sal's been in buisness for a long time and he actually listens to his costumers so he knows what people want and is always coming up with new designs I think Spyderco will be like Buck passed down from generation to generation father to son for a very long time.
 
i sell plenty of Spyderco's and from what i can tell they are going strong, and if they are if by a LONG freakin shot they are bought by Benchmade then im buying and original Spyderco's from work as my bank account will allow
 
I've got it now, straight from the horses mouth. Benchmade, Microtech, Spyderco and Buck are all merging. All knives will be assembled only with seven hole square bolts and sold exclusively at Stuckey's and Walmart. The Spyderhole will go through only one side of the blade. Wait a minute, which way is that horse facing?
 
I heard the benchmade was actually buying busse combat because of all the money they lost from their knives breaking.
 
Probably BS, however in some ways, makes good business sense.

The cheap imports, predominately from China and Taiwan, must be having an adverse effect on BM's & Spyderco's established markets. These imports are dramaticaly improving in quality but the prices don't go up accordingly.
Both Benchmade and Spyderco are producing lines made offshore, so this indicates that they are both trying to hold on to their respective market share in this lower priced, volume end of the market.

Mergers and buyouts might be what is required to make great companies greater, increasing economies of scale, to be competitive against these cheap imports.
 
The fact of the matter is not Benchmade buying Spyderdo, but they are merging and going to become a brand of Fiskers.
