Spyderco byte February 2022 - EDUCATION: Changing the Position of Your Clip When Spyderco co-founder Sal Glesser first put a clip on a folding knife over four decades ago, he revolutionized the form of the modern pocketknife and set a standard that still endures today. However, he and Spyderco didn’t stop there. From the original stainless steel handles and single-position clips, our knives and pocket clips have evolved to offer many more options and much greater versatility. Most Spyderco knives now have adjustable clips that allow you to configure them for different carry positions. Some are adjustable for left or right-side tip-up carry, while others offer the flexibility of four-position carry: tip-up or tip-down on both the left...

We know that serious knife users appreciate quality and performance and are willing to invest in premium products. However, we also understand that becoming a serious knife user is a process. We all have to start somewhere, and until we have enough experience to appreciate quality, that typically means starting with lower-priced knives. For that reason, we created Spyderco’s Value Folders. The goal of the Value Folder family...

Spyderco byte December 2021 - PROPER USE OF THE EMERSON OPENER Edge-U-Cation® Unlike conventional one-hand-opening folding knives or even automatic knives, which allow the blade to be opened quickly after the knife is drawn, the Emerson Opener deploys the blade as it clears the pocket and is therefore the fastest opening method available. Achieving that speed, however, still requires proper carry and good technique. Like learning any new skill, it’s best to start off slowly. If possible, use a trainer version of your Emerson Opener knife at first and then progress to a live blade when you feel you’re ready. To prevent property damage or injury to others, always ensure that the area around you is clear of people and obstructions before...

Although the scope of his influence is extremely broad, perhaps his most revolutionary innovation was the “Emerson Opener.” Also known as the “Wave-Shaped Feature” or more colloquially—and inaccurately—the “Wave,” it consists of a small integral hook on the spine of a folding knife blade. When the closed knife is carried tip-up and drawn from the pocket, the hook snags on...
