When you think of it Spyderco preform better than most knives. just like a V-12 Lamborghini Murcialago (spelling). Also they have a design like no other knives which we are compelled to so easily. just like a Lamborghini!
 
I hate to break it to you but that title belongs to the maker Scott Cook........or Darrel Ralph......or Charles Marlowe........or Gerry McGinnis........:D

I would more accurately say the Honda of knives....utilitarian......cost effective.....and they last a lifetime. Amazing knives without question but their stupendous practicality keep them far away from anything "lambo" like....
 
In my own personal opinion, I don't see Spyderco as the Lamborghini of knives. Lamborghini is an exlcusive, inherently expensive boutique maker of automobiles. They make their cars in limited runs, by hand. They are not the most aesthetic of cars, but they are exotic and undoubtedly powerful in their own right. I would more compare Lamborghini to makers of exotic tactical customs...limited runs, exclusive materials, sharp-edged designs, all appealing to testosterone.

I would compare Spyderco's product plan to a production automaker, perhaps General Motors, most in particular Chevrolet (though without the financial troubles---but that's a topic for another section). Spyderco has less costlier models available to all---think of the byrd line as an equivalent to an economy Chevrolet four-door like the Cobalt.

It makes tough, everyday use designs available to the working man (such as the Endura and Delica) which are standbys of the industry much like the Silverado.

It makes family (or sheeple)friendly designs at an economical price (like the Dragonfly) which could be equated to the Malibu.

It also makes the costlier versions, much like the Superhawk, which could be considered the Cadillac of Spyderco.

Spyderco also makes sprint runs of exotic models, things such as left-handed, carbon fiber Civilians and the more recent designs. This could be equated the sprint runs of GM product---such as the new $106,000 Corvette ZR1.

In overall performance characteristics though, if we're comparing Spydercos to supercars, I don't think it would be Lamborghini. Lamborghini is a brutally powerful, exotic machine---something of a Busse. I think Porsche would be more apt---the newest Turbo has been called the finest driving machine ever devised by Motor Trend. It's fast, but ergonomic and well-balanced in all aspects. Ergonomic, well performing, constantly innovative---the common denominators between Porsche and Spyderco.

Forgive me for my digressions, but I'm a bit of a car buff as well as a knife knut. :D
 
As much as I like Spyderco, I think we are leaving out some of the finest knives that exist when we say they are the Lambo of knives. ;).

Not even close in my experience. Where do the higher end knives by makers come in?

If spyderco were the Lambo of the knife world then they would have to be owned by some larger, greater car manufacturer. (ie how VW owns Lambo.)

yep, i totally agree with the vette analogy
 
I would have to say that if GM built and sold cars as well as Spyderco builds knives, we would not be having to shell out 17 billion to get them out of hot water.

well, I reckon... Spyderco is the "Spyderco" of knives!

Well, I think we can all agree on one thing, and that is this.

Of course, if we were to compare it to a car, I would think it would be a cost efficient car, not a 200K+ car. Especially since most spydercos are very affordable for what they can do.
 
He's a young man, cut him some slack. Two options, cast him out or help educate him. I vote for the latter.

Start believing, show proof of the intent to cause problems and I'll easily side with ya. Remember his age.

Hate to say this, but from what I have read, he likes to make exaggerated statement w/o anything to back them up.

BTW, I think if he really wants his Ka-bar, he should try earning some money through part-time job or something and buy it himself, instead of making some not-so-productive threads on the forums.
