Fireside chat with "Uncle Sal"

[Corduroy]

Mr. Glesser, I really enjoyed your long post on the "story" of the Endura and Delica. The way you talked about the economic conditions and marketing ideas, as well as the designs and the development, made a very interesting little story. Is there any chance you could give us a "slice of Spyderco histroy" like this, say, once a month? Sort of a biography of a particular model? I think this would be some really fun reading.

Where can I find Sal's long post on the development of the Endura and Delica? Sounds like interesting reading.

Danelle,
Would you....,Could you....?

Thanks for the info.
These are not my favs but I am interested in the things stamped Spyderco.
Now if I can only get to Colorado and see things for myself....One day perhaps

Nice

For reference, the link should be <a href="http://www.bladeforums.com/ubb/Forum20/HTML/000550.html">to this page</a>

I think that this would be a great idea...it definitely gives a better idea of why the knife was designed the way it was. I'd definitely like to know more about the whole line of knives. If this is done, though, these should be kept somewhere...I think future members would probably want to see these also.

Count me as a 'yes' vote. Since Spyderco is my brand of choice - I would love to see some background information.
Sorry Sal and Danielle - know this will be more work for you, but I can't resist.
