Spyderco Outlet Store

They do have a nice retail store at the factory. Its great to be able to handle a bunch to decide what you want to get. I spent about an hour with one of the guys there, who patiently allowed me to take out and handle pretty much everything in the store
As I recall, the pricing was pretty much what you'd pay anywhere, but they did have a couple really good deals on closeout. I bought 3 kitchen knives and a Byrd Harrier. The Byrd was like 10 bucks. They had quality control problems with them, but the guy put a bunch of them on the counter and I picked out the best one, so it was a great deal.
My wife was not too interested, but she chatted with one of the workers there. All in all a great time!!!
(This was last year, so you should double check before going)

SFO is here at our headquarters, 820 Spyderco Way. Come in the main door and you'll see the store on the first floor, just through glass doors. The store is open 10a - 6p M-F and 10a - 5p Sat. SFO is closed on Sunday.
Take Hwy. 93 North, approximately half a mile North of Washington. You'll see our building on the left hand side. You can only turn on Spyderco Way if you are Southbound on 93. So go up one block to Pine Ridge Road, turn West, then turn South on Avery down to Spyderco Way.
Since Shann's visit there have been numerous changes in SFO, we have several museum displays there now. We believe you'll enjoy your time there.

Now I want to go to Golden on my vacation! Of course the ol' lady and kiddo are still set on Six Flags. I offered to buy her something nice at the SFO, but I don't think she is going to budge.

You know, there is a Six Flags about 25 minutes from us... why not do both??

Gotta visit her family down in Texas while we are on vacation, dang it. I get another vacation in January, though 
We might hole up in a ski lodge up there and visit the SFO inbetween mugs of hot cocoa.

Maybe the next remodel will include indoor/outdoor astro-turf... Then you can drool all you want.

I wonder if some of us forumites come accross as weird and scary to the poor employees serving us drooling, sweating, fingerpring leaving, wanting to see every knife ever made type knife knuts with hundreds of questions, taking lots of time, and giving them headaches?

The Mastiff " Do you have that model in super salium yet? heh heh. ( attempting to be funny and charming but sounds and looks like a warped dirty old man.)
Employee " Sorry sir, that model is just made in VG 10"
The Mastiff " Wow, *drool*, Can I pick through all of them for the best one?"
Employee "That's the last one sir"
The Mastiff "Never mind, can I see the 83mm size manix....all of them"
Employee" Serrated or plain edged?"
The Mastiff " You don't happen to have any experimental models in T1 steel do you, sometimes there's odd things laying around. Call Sal. Tell him Mastiff is here"
Employee " Does he know you?"
The Mastiff " Well....Yes, and no. Tell him the guy with the thread that always asks about ....uh. ummm, just some guy... is here!"
Employee * Makes phone call* "Sir, my supervisor is coming to talk to you"
A few minutes later after doors are heard slamming, car tires screeching going away the Supervisor arrives.
Supervisor " Sir, you're scaring our employees and customers. We appreciate your business, but we think it's time you left.
The Mastiff * by now, turning purple " really, I'm harmless. People just don't understand my sense of humor!"
Supervisor " Sir!?"
The Mastiff " Ok, ok, put the taser away. I'm going", walks away mumbling.....

SFO is only 15 min away from me, and my wife's family grew up and still live in Golden - so, I'm out there a lot. Suprisingly, I've only been to SFO once. I won't go back.................until I have a bunch of extra spending money, that is
