Spyderco byte August 2023 - MBKLF / MBK / MBKW / MBKWBK / MFK390 / MYL - MANBUG® MSRP: $83.00 - $111.50 ORIGIN: Japan Over the years, Spyderco co-founder Sal Glesser has carried and used virtually every knife Spyderco has ever manufactured, as well as many prototypes and special models that never made it into production. Despite the wide array of knives available to him, truth be told, the one he carries most often is the Spyderco Ladybug®. First introduced in 1990 and designed by Sal himself, the Ladybug is our smallest locking folder design and, even after 30-plus years, one of our most popular models. Anyone who has ever used a Ladybug knows that it cuts with authority far beyond its size. In addition to being a shining...

EXTREMA RATIO: T4000 S RANGER LIMITED EDITION T4000 S Ranger is a limited edition of only 100 pieces based on our model T4000, a reworking of the Japanese Wakizashi short sword that the Samurai wore at all times in contact with the body. It is a tactical tool out of time, that does not follow any trend but faithfully respects Extrema Ratio philosophy aimed at satisfying all functional needs. This model continues the purest Tanto series of Extrema Ratio designed specifically for lovers of the profile of Japanese blades, who do not want to give up typical tactical accessories such as textile sheath and handle in special polymer. The blade, in Böhler N690 steel hardened to 58 HRC and MIL – C – 13924 burnish, is characterized by...

Spyderco byte June 2023 - EDGE-U-CATION® - Sharpening Serrations Sharpening Serrations Spyderco exhibits our products at many trade shows. One thing we frequently hear from people who visit our booths is that they are wary of purchasing serrated blades because they are too difficult to sharpen. In their minds, honing a serrated edge is like sharpening s chainsaw—a tedious tooth-by-tooth, scallop-by-scallop process. With the proper tools, however, nothing could be further from the truth. Our appreciation of serrated edges goes back to the earliest days of Spyderco, when company founders Sal and Gail Glesser traveled the country selling sharpeners, kitchen knives, and other gadgets at various fairs and shows. Among the knives they...

Spyderco byte July 2023 - RESCUE KNIVES Another Groundbreaking Spyderco Innovation RESCUE KNIVES MSRP: $126.00 - $416.00 ORIGIN: USA / Japan Spyderco introduced its first knife, the Worker™, in 1981. Its defining features—specifically, its Trademark Round Hole™ for swift one-handed opening and its clip for convenient, top-of-the-pocket carry—literally revolutionized modern folding knife design. A year later, we added the voracious cutting power of a fully serrated edge and set a standard in folding knife functionality that endures to this day. That same year, Spyderco introduced its second model—the Mariner™. Like all early Spyderco knives, it was designed by company co-founder Sal Glesser, who also happened to be an avid...

Designed by Israeli-born Nathaniel Amor, or “Nati,” as he is more commonly known, the Subvert faithfully translates his custom-made “Sabotage” model into an exquisitely crafted production folding knife.

Spyderco byte May 2023 - The Golden Stone™/Webfoot®™ Set Now Shipping Spyderco is proud to announce that the set containing both the Golden Stone and Webfoot sharpeners (308FCBN) is in stock and now shipping. Both these sharpeners feature a unique design that provides a perfect 40-degree included angle (20 degrees per side) when tilted from side to side.

The Webfoot’s aggressive 600-mesh Cubic Boron Nitride (CBN) abrasive removes steel quickly and is ideal for reprofiling edges or sharpening very dull knives to a utility edge. For touch ups or to achieve a more refined edge after using the Webfoot, the Golden Stone...

Understanding Equivalent and Comparable Blade Steels Blade steel is a complex and often overwhelming topic. For knife enthusiasts trying to understand the performance differences they might expect from the myriad of knife steels out there, it can be a steep and frustrating learning curve. One way of flattening that curve—at least a little bit—is to understand that many steels can be accurately compared to other steels. In fact, in some cases, two or more steels with different names can be the exact same material. By learning to group steels into comparable families and identifying equivalent or near-equivalent steels, you can make sense of the “alphabet soup” of blade steels much more easily. Steel Comparisons One of the most...
