This thread is meant to be respectful and appreciative of Spyderco. It would be nice to hear about positive experiences with the knives and the company.
Additionally, here is a Whale Rescue Blade modified for carry. Our puppy got very ill and weak, yet we wanted to give her some exercise, and like to go at night because it is cooler, especially for our sled dog. Coyotes and possibly bears and most unlikely mountain lions, could be an issue, in that we are going to their home ground. The puppy is now six and a half months old now and doing really well, if still a little weak.
I contacted Spyderco and the founder, Sal Glesser about this project. After sending him a 3 minute YouTube video (restricted only to those viewers with a link) of what I was doing with his rescue blade, he indicated it was my prerogative to make this public.
The beginning of the video starts with a brief view of personal-carry Spyderco knives.
1:14 shows the tools that were used to make the knife.
2:21 is a close up with a view of the part of the blade where I used a Lansky sharpening system to reprofile part of the blade.
3:57 a possibly novel cutting demonstration
~5:16 end of video
There will be more posts about excellent experiences with Spyderco these past decades, and you are encouraged to tell your story.
