Incredible service! I was already a fan of Spyderco just based on their history and the strength of the products. I was recently going down a slide with my 3 year old, and bent the wire clip on my Para 3 Lightweight (considering it held up ~200 lbs of weight with only a bend is very impressive). After speaking with Craig, I was able to get a replacement clip and a correction on a previous order! Since I live so far away from Golden, CO, I was very excited to pick up some factory seconds online this year. Next year I will definitely have to try out their Mystery Boxes too! They've got such a huge selection, and the value of their products (even before discounts) is excellent. Hope that Spyderco might consider additional Seconds sales and Mystery Boxes throughout the year. From what I see posted online, they might be a little hit or miss at times, but in general people seem to be happy and to get their money's worth, read more

I'm not into knives but we stopped here while in Golden and I really had a great time! The lobby is filled with beautiful green plants so I knew I was in the right place. Inside, there are several displays with historical information I browsed while my friend looked at a bunch of knives. The knives themselves are expertly crafted and I have actually never seen so many types to choose from. The guys working in here are passionate and very knowledgeable about the products. They even have kitchen/chef knives. They have free water and candy for customers and they give discounts for military and healthcare workers! read more

You may have never thought about owning a pocketknife ( they sell kitchen cutlery too), but Spyderco factory in Golden Co. will reshape your thinking. Word of advice, don't go with a fresh credit card because you will walk away with a knife you did'nt know you needed. Serious, "just looking" is always your get out of jail card; but its Santas workshop for knife customers, not to mention free sharpening. Sometimes life is really good with this special business read more

Awesome staff, awesome selection. Exceptional product knowledge. Would 100% recommend stopping here.

Hello, I just wanted to leave a stellar comment and give alot of credit to the staff at spyderco that gives amazing customer support especially with the great guidance of the manager Mike. He took a phone call from me coming from Miami, Florida while their website crashed during a crazy sale due to so much traffic. He fixed all my issues and made it so I was able to pay for my online cart during all that crazy chaos. Mike the manager needs a raise. He's a great guy with fantastic energy and full of knowledge and was soo helpful to me. BalahoutisRealtor@gmail.com Thank you read more

Such a great and fun place to visit when in Golden. Impossible to walk away empty handed. Some of the best pocket knives there are. read more

Spyderco Factory Outlet - Beam from the Twin Towers on display. Significantly sobering. - Outlet Stores Near Me - Golden, Colorado

Outstanding experience here at the Spyderco Factory Outlet. I was in vacation in Denver and this was one of my go to places since I am have been a Spyderco fan for a number of years. I can literally call this place Spyderco heaven. My interaction with staff were beyond excellent. Nice decals and great selections. I ended up purchasing around $340 of two knives and other items. They also accept OpFocus in-store like they do online. 11/10 must visit again read more

I went to buy a knife and there was like a line of knife guys waiting outside on camping chairs. Special release maybe? I don't know. Lots of different types of hats they were wearing. Flat brim, cowboy, bandana, etc. Anyways, I got too anxious to try and walk through all of the knife guys and go in, so I just drove home. Not for me! read more

Amazing staff Great location the management really sets the place apart from everyone else

This place is small, so don't expect a giant showroom. They have lots of knives for you to check out, but they also had a lot of knives out of stock, which was a bummer. But the staff was very friendly, and we walked out with 3 knives that we really like! read more

I drive thru Golden every time I head out West just to stop at the factory outlet. Awesome store and have been lucky enough to pick up a few sprint runs. read more

Spyderco is a great company and it was such a treat to go to their outlet! The staff spent unhurried time letting us see and hold the various knives of interest. Open box deals were great. Thy also have such a great tribute to our heroes. read more

Best knife in my collection, so far. Hoping to visit Factory Outlet soon since I live in Denver!

I had a great time here. Steve, Michael, and Jacob were all outstanding. They were very informative and patient with me. Overall, the store was just a fun experience but the people there are what made the difference. I even came back the following day to make a slight change to my purchase and these guys couldn't have been more accommodating. Thanks again and looking forward to coming back again. -Adam read more

I love Spyderco knives, so I ask you: What's better for a knife aficionado than having one of their factories in your own backyard? Hmm...Nothing! In the knife world, Spyderco is synonymous with quality, and that quality is evident by the people that work there and the product they produce. I have a large collection of Spyderco knives and I'm sure this is in part due to having the factory outlet store within the factory. They have almost their entire line of knives in the store including ones that are made right here in Golden, Colorado. They can also get other ones special ordered. They carry an extensive collection of Randall-made knives, and if you know anything about those I don't need to explain. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable and I've often GONE in and just chatted knives with them; which they're always willing to do. The outlet shop is very large and has a lot of products throughout. It's a bit overwhelming because there are so many knives to look at and I often want to spend all my money. Despite what other reviewers have said, I've never had a negative experience and will continue to visit. If you have the taste for a sharp edge and a quality product, look no further. It's just outside Golden and well worth the stop. read more

Super nice people working there that clearly enjoy what they do. Today was the factory sale and prices were insane cheap! Despite the extremely long line, the employees were quite cheerful. The only bad thing I have to say is that I bought way too much stuff! The normal prices are a bit higher than knife retailers online, but you get to hand pick the knives you buy instead of getting whatever the dealer sends you. Spyderco also does this because they sell most of their knives through the dealer network and they don't want to undercut their dealers. read more

Spyderco Factory Outlet - Parking lot sign. - Outlet Stores Near Me - Golden, Colorado

I love the factory outlet. I collect Spyderco knives and am lucky enough to live nearby. Everytime I've been in, the staff is incredibly nice, happy to talk to you about products and handle them yourself. They have tons of information and products in building. Online retailers are 10-15% cheaper, but I learn about upcoming products and have had excellent experiences everytime is visit the outlet. Spyderco is a great company and I recommend stopping in if you're a fan of their products. Added bonus, they'll sharpen your Spyderco knife for you. read more

I'm honestly not knife savvy, but my husband is- and has been big on Spyderco for many years. When we visited Colorado on vacation and he learned that the Spyderco store was here we jumped in our rental car and made sure to take a trip! I forget the gentleman's name that helped my husband, but he was extremely professional and well knowledgeable. He knew exactly what sort of blade my husband was looking for and helped him narrow down his choices. Thanks Spyderco for helping me keep my husband a happy man! read more

High Prices, rude employees, and decent knives. Walked in to look at the Karahawk Karambit. The woman who helped me immediately just glared at me and said, "Yesss.." begrudgingly. I asked if I could see the Karahawk and she opened the case and set it on the table and simply stared at me as if I should be trying to sell her the knife. After inspecting the knife I asked if they carried any of the other models of karambit. She said there where none bluntly - although I have seen up to four different models online... The knife was everything I expected but cost much more than many of the retailers I had previously found online. I asked if the price was set in stone because I had seen the same knive various places for cheaper. She just told me they were probably fake and from unreputable dealers. The price really didn't bother me and if she had been more polite and actually acted like a saleswoman I might have bit the bullet but it was honestly painful just trying to get basic information from her one word answers. I ended up leaving and will happily be giving my business to Emerson or Fox instead. read more

You can buy knives here. They are sharp. Men like this place. I went in with a man, who liked this place a lot. I wish they had seats for the women, or a pastry shop. read more

The store gives you a good sense of what Spyderco the company is like: Down to earth workers here who are friendly enough and know a lot about knives. The workers kind of hover behind the counter, but they're attentive and it's probably a safety thing anyway. The lady I worked with was quite nice and answered all my questions. What more do ya want? Great place to see the knives in person and to handle them before buying. Prices are somewhat comparable to what you'll find on Amazon, but the selection is greater. I walked out with a Byrd Meadlowlark 2 in an all-black coating (can't find this on Amazon). Probably not a place to go out of your way to see, as it simply is just a medium-sized room in an office building, but if you're in the area it's an easy stop. And, free knife sharpening. read more

I don't know what was more fun about this place - the "kid in a candy store" look on my husband's face the entire time we were here, or the infectious passion and great knowledge of the employees at the outlet store. It's definitely worth the quick drive over to picturesque Golden, CO (home also to the Coors Brewing Co.) for the knife aficionado in your life. The store is easy to find and their hours are reasonable. While the prices aren't the absolute lowest I've ever seen for Spyderco products, the interaction with and expertise of the employees, plus the experience, garner with ease the "20-30% less than MSRP" prices for which they sell their goods. You'll find more than just the complete collection of Spyderco knives - the outlet also carries an authorized collection of Wusthof knives and Boos cutting blocks for good prices. We also enjoyed perusing the photos and thank-you letters from the hundreds of military servicemen and women who have been recipients of a knife drawing they do every month for 50 active military members. I loved that! I loved that one of the guys behind the counter said he was retired, but came in to work at Spyderco a "few days per week" because he was so passionate about the knives and the company. This guy was by far the most knowledgeable authority on knives I have ever encountered, everything from grades and types of steel, to exactitude on every seemingly minute detail about their products. You can purchase knives made on-site at the Golden facility, plus their other products made in both China as well as Japan. As we were visiting right before Christmas, they were offering delicious hot apple cider and tasty cookies for their customers! read more

A Spyderco knife makes a great companion for a everything from a multi-week backpacking trip to just an average day at work. Although I'm not really hard on my knife, I do use it often. I use my knife almost every day for opening packages, breaking down boxes, cutting rope/string, scraping surfaces, etc. You can't beat the way that Spyderco backs their products. They will sharpen and fix your knife if you ever need them to and the people in the showroom and the factory really know their stuff. The knives here are more expensive than the flashy cheapo knives you see elsewhere, but they are a superior design that's well worth the price. read more

This review is more for their repair center than this actual location. Been carrying Spyderco's for years. Known for their quality of materials and keeping and edge, I consider them very trustworthy in what ever daily warrior task I use them for. Recently had to send one back for some "repair" work. it is an older model that I can't seem to part with. For a very minor fee ( $ 5.00) they were able to rework the blade to "good as new" condition. Amazed at the fast turn around. Customer Service like this is what is missing in a lot of big businesses. You are a role model for your peers. Keep up the good work guys and you have earned a loyal customer !!! read more

Let me just say, that the product Spyderco is absolutely the finest available on the market. My first endura was a gift, that I have now been using for almost a decade on the daily. Any time I need assistance sharpening or replacing the blade Charlynn in customer service is always there for me. The only thing better than the product is the customer service! Hands down best in the business. I am a loyal Spyderco customer, own several of your knives and could never imagine buying a product other than yours! Great job guys! read more

I was in town and took the ride to Golden. The drive alone is beautiful and worth the visit. The employees inside of the store were very helpful and easily answered all of my questions. I bought a couple of knives because too many is not really a problem anyone has and enjoyed seeing the World Trad Center display. Very cool place! I wish they would let you tour the actual working factory. read more

I have been an avid knife enthusiast and collector for many years. Spydercos are some of my favorites. They make outstanding knives, no doubt about it. The factory outlet on the other hand was a huge disappointment. It is a complete and total rip off. Sure, they sell things cheaper than their website, but it is still more pricey than anywhere else out there. You can go on amazon and buy almost any spyderco for 1/2 to 2/3 the price of anything in their outlet. $75 for a spyderco resilience? Puh-leez! Save yourself the trouble and buy your spideys elsewhere. The only good things about the place are the extensive selection and free sharpening for your knives. If you are looking for something hard to find, this is a viable option. Aside from that, there is absolutely no reason to come here. Although spyderco makes amazing knives, they try to make you pay out the nose. Don't let them bend you over a table. Stick to amazon. read more

Was just informed that the Spyderco Para 3 that I can buy everywhere online for $150 is priced at $250 at the Spyderco outlet. THAT IS A $100 MARKUP!!!!!! What a complete and total joke. The salesperson told me, "we are retail, we don't compete with our distributers." ...what is the point of having an outlet then? As a Golden, Colorado native I now know why Ive never been here...and never will. What a joke. read more

A must see if you are a Spyderco fan. They have all products on display which is super helpful. Don't expect a great deal but it's a fun place. read more
