Spyderco has had knives made in Seki, Japan for a very long time so your modern knife manufacturing history isn't quite up to speed.

I do not speak for Sal Glesser or Spyderco but have a lot of respect for what they have done for the knife industry by making several significant contributions which many now take for granted.

Does anyone know what the city of Seki is famous for?

Anyone know what the "firsts" are that Spyderco brought to folding knives?
