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...

Extrema Ratio Knives Devision Presents The New Satre Satre is a pocket-sized, light and extremely resistant fixed blade knife. Given its characteristics, it can be employed in a large variety of activities and fields, including survival and bushcraft, or it can be part of an EDC kit (Every Day Carry).

It can be worn as a neck knife thanks to its Paracord 550 lanyard. This way, it is possible to keep it vertical with the handle facing down. The pre-shaped Kydex sheath has eyelets, allowing to apply both lanyard and accessory holder. The ULTICLIP carry solution will be available...

A REVEAL-ING LOOK AT SPYDERCO’S NEW PRODUCTS If you follow Spyderco closely, you may have already been aware of the release of the Endela Lightweight Wharncliffe before receiving this edition of the byte.

We receive product...

Edge-U-Cation® - WHARNCLIFFE HISTORY For many astute knife users, the Wharncliffe-style blade represents the ultimate synthesis of pocketknife form and function. Its deceptively simple profile, perfectly straight cutting edge, and acute point make it incredibly versatile and adaptable to a wide variety of tasks. Like the straight-edged utility knives used by tradesmen, it cuts with impressive power and delivers that power all the way to the tip. Like a scalpel or X-Acto® knife, it also offers splinter-picking precision and control when working with the point. While Wharncliffe knives have become increasingly popular in recent years, they are by no means new. In fact, the original design dates back to the early 1800s and one of the...

ENDELA® LIGHTWEIGHT WHARNCLIFFE Featured Product SKU: C243FPWCBK / FSWCBK MSRP: $125.00 ORIGIN: Japan The more time you spend around knives, the more you realize there is no one-size-fits-all cutting tool. Just as importantly, there is no one-shape-fits-all knife either. Human hands are organic and vary significantly from one person to another. Unless you’re perfectly content with straight, unsophisticated, and relatively boring handle designs, some knife handles will simply “feel” better in your hand than others. That’s a big part of the magic of knife design and a critical element of appreciating the broad spectrum of knives available to us. Spyderco’s Delica® and Endura® are two of the most popular folding knives ever produced...

Edge-U-Cation® - COLLABORATOR CORRECTION In last month’s issue of the byte, our in-house technical writer Michael Janich wrote: “In 1990, Spyderco became the first production knife company to collaborate with a custom knifemaker in the design of a factory-made knife.” This statement is not historically accurate. Bob Terzuola’s Spyderco design was the first custom-knifemaker collaboration on a factory-made folding knife design, but it was not the first time a custom maker collaborated with a knife manufacturer. That honor rightfully goes to the late Robert W. Loveless and the Schrade Cutlery Corporation. During 1975-1976, Schrade produced a Loveless-designed fixed blade called the “Schrade-Loveless Hunter” (RL-2). From 1991-1995...

PARA MILITARY™ 2 MICARTA CPM® CRU-WEAR® Featured Product SKU: C81MPCW2 MSRP: $245.00 ORIGIN: USA Since its release in 2010, the Para Military 2 has earned legions of followers worldwide and earned an iconic status in the Spyderco product line. Hands down one of our best-selling models, it has also been the canvas for dozens of special variations, including limited-edition Sprint Run™ and Exclusive expressions of the design featuring a broad spectrum of blade steels, handle materials, coatings, and even different blade shapes. Although Spyderco enthusiasts enjoy all the unique combinations of materials featured in our Sprint Runs, one pairing that has been exceptionally well received is the fusion of a CPM® CRU-WEAR® blade with...

SPYDERCO'S PINK KNIVES Update As we prepare to turn another page on the calendar, we’d like to remind you that October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), in 2020 there were 2.3 million women diagnosed with breast cancer and 685,000 deaths from the disease worldwide. At the close of 2020, there were 7.8 million women alive who had been diagnosed with breast cancer within the past 5 years, making it the world’s most prevalent cancer. For many years, Spyderco has supported charities devoted to the prevention, research, and treatment of this devastating disease. To that end, we have produced a number of our folding knife models with vibrant pink handles and donated a portion of all...
