Has anyone gotten the Spyderco book yet?
It is kinda pricy at $69.95 a copy.
Any thoughts?

Bobby - To my knowledge, the book hasn't been printed yet. What book are you speaking of?

Sal,
There is an ad from Paladin Press for THE SPYDERCO STORY by Kenneth Delavigne on page 31 in the Febuary 2000 issue of Blade magazine.
It reads as though the book is available now.
I was going to try and order a copy today but maybe I'll wait and see what is going on.
Keep us informed.

I just got off of the phone with Paladin Press. They are telling me that the book will not be available until the end of December. The ad appeared as though they were available now.

I just ordered the Spyderco book from Paladin's web site: http://www.paladinpress.com/

Here's their write-up:

Each product is covered in detail from CLIPIT folders and fixed-blade knives to custom collaborations to sharpeners including how it was developed and why, what real-life problem it solved and design elements that make it unique. He also explores the technical frontiers where Spyderco has made so many inroads and previews whats on the drawing board for the new millennium. Finally, he offers insight into the uncommon business philosophy and management style that have allowed Spyderco to achieve such legendary success. 8 1/2 x 11, hardcover, photos, illus., 312 pp.
