History, mentionings from the forums etc.
First made available in 2004, the Spyderfly had something of a hard start into this life. As we will learn later, that was just the beginning of the problems. Only a few were made at the time in Spyderco's factory in Golden, Colorado. These were beeing assembled from imported parts, something which later became a problem. The first batches had VG-10 blades, something which later was changed to 440C (Probably in early 2005)due to the price of VG-10[1]
Several posts on the forums were made as to the possibility to get one and problems filling the orders. [2]
The Spyderfly continued to trickle out into the market and it became a rather popular Balisong. Primarily due to the rather unusual handles and blade and the reported good "swing" or "dance" which it's called by the Balisong enthusiasts.
USA- made. Spyderco's investigation into what constitutes USA- made.[3]
