Sal and Danelle,
Here's a quick suggestion on improving your homepage. Today, while doing a little research for a forumite that requested info on Gentlemen's knives in the General knife forum, I remembered the Michael Walker C22 lightweight as having many of the qualities the poster was inquiring about. I surfed over to Spyderco's homepage www.spyderco.com and hit the Spyderco Products link at the upper left hand corner of the page.
Said link is really a technical materials page,imo,and lists Anatomy of a knife,steels,fabrication,Definitions,etc.and is not precisely "Products",imo. After looking around, I finally noticed the On-Line Catalog link at the Bottom of the page,and finally found my reference to the C22. I suggest placing the On-Line Catalog link more prominently for customer convenience and possibly replacing or updating the ambiguous "Spyderco Products" link.
Although, I currently do not own a Spyderco, I will soon. Pink handled plain edge models and regular edge models for ease of resharpening,and more offerings made in the USA come to mind also. More models with a blade length just under 2.5 inches for compliance in Federal Facilities(where applicable,as some venues are zero tolerance) pursuant to U.S. Code Sec.930.
The term ELU, has honestly always rubbed me the wrong way, as I feel it is needlessly sterile and impersonal. ELU might be the "in" term in the boardrooms of corporate America, but I prefer customer,particularly for use by a company like Spyderco that is receptive to customer input and offers this "personal touch" Forum.
Most importantly, your solicitation of straight-shooter constructive criticism is a hallmark of progressive management in any company and it is most appreciated and no doubt part of what makes Spyderco such a world wide success in the knife industry.
Best wishes to all Spyderco employees in all future personal and business endeavors.
Stay safe and all the best, Phil <----<
