Spyderco's class act - Insider
American Handgunner, Jan-Feb, 2003
Spyderco knows rescue knives and since the early '80s they've been making them for cops, paramedics, military and anyone else who enters harm's way. To honor those emergency workers who chose to run toward the WTC during the attack, rather than away from it, Spyderco is crafting a limited run of World Trade Center Knives -- but these are no ordinary commemoratives.
With a great deal of help, steel was obtained from WTC Building #1 (the operation was video-taped by NYPD to verifiy authenticity) and shipped to Sypderco. Handling the steel was a time-consuming ordeal --it was twisted and burned. Spyderco finalized a design showing the N.Y skyline silhouetted before the sun, and designed a knife.
To honor the 2,819 lives lost, Spyderco will limit the production to just this number. Each knife comes in a custom presentation box with a letter of authenticity from the owners of Sypderco. One hundred percent of the profits derived from the project will be donated directly to the New York Police and Fire Widows and Children Benefit Fun. None of the numbered knives will be discounted or given away. The cost is $225 and they are available on special order through your dealer or directly from Spyderco. To order from Sypderco, phone (800) 525-7770, x103 or e-mail jparson@spyderco.com.
