I have a trip to Colorado this summer, and I will be flying into Denver. I only have a few Spyderco knives, and none of them from Golden.

Has anyone been to this factory outlet store? Is it worth visiting? Thinking about getting a knife to remember my trip by.

Yup. It's worth it. Do it, even if you don't purchase anything, its still a good trip.

I think we all here can admit that if we go into a knife store with money in our pocket - especially one we may not get to go back to - that we will leave with SOMETHING!
 
I visited there this past summer. I was there for about an hour. I ended up getting a Persistence. A fine budget blade. The reason I didn't get anything more spendy has nothing to do with the store or its offerings.

I kept getting that raised eyebrow from SWMBO, who is not a knife nut, so I opted for a cheaper blade. We still had the rest of the country to travel across, you see.
 
Is it hands on? Would I get to handle a few options before buying?

also who is "SWMBO"?
 
SWMBO=She Who Must Be Obeyed

It's an acronym for "wife" used by heterosexual married or attached men without...

You should be able to handle almost every model they currently carry. It is definitely worth the trip. I am local and stop in all the time. There is even a good chance you may meet one of the Glessers. ;)
 
I'm out on a road trip now, Just settled in at Dodge City Kansas. I should be in Golden on Wednesday or Thursday. I'm thinking of getting a Native while I'm there. I'll repost after the trip, I hope to hold a few of the models I've only seen pics of.
 
It's definitely worth the stop. I usually get out there once a year. They have some cool limited edition knives on display. The people are fun to talk to, and they also sharpen knives there. I have never done that, so not sure if there is a charge for it or not.

If you own a Spyderco, go you won't regret it.
 
Absolutely worth it. Prepare yourself mentally, it is a little overwhelming. No matter how many times I've been there I always get home and regret not handling more models. They take care of you though, usually they have a beverage of some sort you can help yourself to. Certain times (usually around the holidays) you will get a gift bag for every $100 you spend (mostly calendars, stickers, SPyderco USBs,etc).
 
I have been twice when business has taken me to golden very cool stop
 
...and how many purses and shoes does she have?
Sorry; got off subject.
:)
Would love to visit the store for their annual blemish sale. I'd be broke but happy.
