Hi Dave,

I am not an expert with the techniques the other (goo) companies use to attempt to produce silk. However, I feel like KBLB is way ahead of the game. We are currently going to full scale production. Those companies are not where we are, IMHO. Plus, our silks are a lot cheaper than theirs, IF and WHEN they go to commercialization.

Also, I think it is just a matter of time before KBLB sails past .10. As I have said, we are due an update on Vietnam as well as the announcement of at least the first contract with a sporting goods company. I think there is more than one contract in the pipeline.

These are all positive catalysts which "should" drive the PPS past .10. We will have to wait and see, but we are finally on our way after years of frustration.

I've been a shareholder of KBLB for over six years now so it has been a very frustrating time. I have also been trying to keep an eye on the competition and it seems like they have been making inroads also. I would just like to hear what others think....

Is a company like Bolt Threads going to able to compete with KBLB's methods.



There will inherently be room for more than one spider silk company but there's something to be said for having the LION'S SHARE....

In the event the remaining 900k is released for further research and development purposes, it could very well lead to a major contract or two in the millions or tens of millions easily.

This is but one example.



Blessings to All

From Bolt website. hahahahahahahahah!!!!

"Our Production

What are your fibers made of?
Primarily sugar, water, salts and yeast."

Really??? Two Universities and a company spend 10+ years in research, and Bolt website with no product talks about using "Primarily sugar, water, salts and yeast." WOW HAHAHAHAHAHA Stop mentioning anyone who known how to make a website and that's about it. Show us the thread and send it to South Korea for testing. Bolt making edible underwear.

I also keep a close watch on the competition and have been for several years now. If you want a good list of companies that are potential competitors, i posted about them about a year ago in my Post #96120.

My personal opinion, there will be 3 main Spider Silk companies that will do well and commercialize by the end of the decade: Spiber, Bolt Threads, and KBLB. Here is a quick rundown of Spiber and Bolt Threads:

Spiber Inc. is a Japanese company aiming for the Japanese market, at least initially. They are already in pilot commercial production and already have sales. They are due to release their first commercial product in collaboration with The North Face Japan later this year, the Moon Parka. They are also working with Kojima Industries to work their proteins into automobiles.

Bolt Threads Inc. has been making a lot of noise, raising a lot of cash, and making a lot of big partnerships recently. Their production method is similar to Spiber's but more efficient since they use Yeast rather than bacteria, so they can make more proteins with less materials. The have Partnered with Patagonia and Unifi and will be producing their first metric ton later this year, hoping to commercialize early 2017.
