Where/who makes Spyderco?

[Stelth]

Made right here on planet Earth, according to my UK Pen Knife Rescue. Didn't realize we had to worry about off-world manufacturers.

I will NEVER buy a knife from those Martian b4$t4rds!!! Saturnian knives are OK, though.

Like anything else, some are better than others, some are better value than others, and some will suit you better than others. I happen to think that country of origin is almost irrelevant, though I confess I think eight or nine times before I buy some things made in mainland China. Taiwan, OTOH, doesn't differ IMHO from Japan, Germany, Sweden or Ireland (for examples).

Didn't see anyone mention yet that there have also been models made in Solingen, Germany and also Taipei.

Believe Taiwan was mentioned. But another thing that hasn't is that the early "Made in USA" Spydercos were outsourced to other US knife companies.
