The Dragonfly 2 Released in late 2010, the Dragonfly 2 faithfully retained all the key features of the original lightweight model, but added the benefits of the reversible deep-pocket wire clip and enhanced non-slip texturing. While the first-generation lightweight had a Volcano Grip™ texture pattern only on the obverse side of the handle, the Dragonfly 2’s one-piece FRN handle features a high-traction Bi-Directional Texture™ pattern on both sides. This enhanced texture complements the design’s exceptional ergonomics to guarantee a secure grip even in extreme conditions. The release of the Dragonfly 2 truly made the knife world stand up and take notice. As its popularity skyrocketed, it also fueled many other variations—both in...

DRAGONFLY™ Featured Product SKU: C28 MSRP: $100.00 - $175.00 ORIGIN: Japan The Spyderco Dragonfly is one of the most underappreciated folding knife designs ever produced. Created by Spyderco founder Sal Glesser, it was specifically designed to be extremely compact and pocket friendly, while offering a full, secure grip that is comfortable to all sizes of hands. Although its blade is barely over 2.25 inches in length, when backed by a solid grip, it cuts with authority far beyond its size. The secret of the Dragonfly’s remarkable design is its index-finger “choil.” Also known as a “50/50 choil,” this feature is essentially a finger groove that straddles the intersection of the blade and handle. It provides a safe, solid purchase for...

Spyderco Edge-U-Cation® - SPYDERCO SALT SERIES Enter H-1 H-1 steel is a radically different alloy that combines the extreme corrosion resistance and toughness of conventional austenitic stainless steels with enhanced levels of hardness that allow it to perform well as a knife blade material. Instead of carbon, H-1 uses nitrogen to help create its steel-like properties. Nitrogen, like carbon, is a small atom and has a similar ability to influence changes to iron’s ferrite structure. Unlike carbon, however, it does not increase the steel’s vulnerability to corrosion. In addition to nitrogen, H-1’s unique alloy composition also includes chromium, manganese, molybdenum, nickel, phosphorus, and sulphur. Its finely tuned recipe of elements...

Spyderco Edge-U-Cation® - SPYDERCO SALT SERIES STILL SETTING THE STANDARD IN ULTRA-CORROSION-RESISTANT CUTTING TOOLS When it comes to evaluating blade materials, there are three primary qualities that must be considered: wear resistance, toughness, and corrosion resistance. While not mutually exclusive, these qualities definitely do compete with each other in defining the properties of a steel. Some blade steels, by design, emphasize one or two qualities at the expense of a third. Others use a finely balanced blend of alloys and specialized manufacturing methods to offer a calculated compromise of all three. No matter which approach you take, the definition of the “perfect” blade steel will always be subjective; however, some...

LC200N LIGHTWEIGHTS SKU: C88FPGR2/FSGR2 C88FPWCRG2/FSGR2 C89FPGR/FSGR C91FPGR2/FSGR2 MSRP: $166.00 - $180.00 ORIGIN: Japan When Spyderco launched the first knives in our award-winning Salt® Series back in 2004, the most logical “platform” for them was our well-established family of lightweight models—like the third-generation Endura® and Delica® models. These knives featured one-piece handles injection molded from tough fiberglass-reinforced nylon (FRN), which meant they had few internal parts or cavities that would make them vulnerable to corrosion. Rendering these proven designs with H-1® steel blades and other specialized materials transformed them into ultra-corrosion-resistant cutting tools that were ideal for use in and around...

THE PHOENIX™ HAS RISEN, AGAIN The late Howard Jay Viele epitomized the Japanese warrior spirit. Quiet, polite, and unassuming on the outside, he was, in fact, a Godan (fifth-degree black belt) in karate and an extremely capable martial artist both with and without weapons. He was also an incredibly talented knifemaker and designer with a style all his own. Howard’s journey as a knifemaker began in 1973, shortly after earning the rank of Sandan (third-degree black belt). Fascinated with the weaponry associated with the traditional martial arts, he decided to try making a knife from scratch. At that time, there were precious few resources available on the knifemaking process, so he tackled it by trial and error. With steadfast...

Like most blade steels, the best way to understand the “magic” of K390 is to start with the reason it was developed in the first place. According to its creator, BÖHLER, K390 MICROCLEAN® was developed to “meet the demanding wear resistance and compressive strength requirements of cutting, blanking and punching applications, for cold forming applications, and for parts which are subjected to abrasive wear in plastics processing.” In simpler terms, K390 was created specifically to excel at some of the most demanding industrial processes imaginable. K390’s remarkable qualities include good machinability, excellent grindability, uniform low dimensional change during heat treatment, excellent tolerance for long soak times during heat...

POLICE™ 4 LIGHTWEIGHT K390 SKU: C07FP4K390 MSRP: $235.00 ORIGIN: Japan Seasoned Spyderco enthusiasts know that our model numbers are sequential to the chronological development of the knives they represent. With very rare exceptions, like the C06 Tusk™, the lower a model’s number, the longer it’s been around. Based on that rule, a quick scan of the current Spyderco catalog will reveal that the C07 Police Model™ is the oldest Spyderco design currently still in production. The secret to its longevity is not only its iconic status as one of the preeminent tactical folders of all time, but also its ability to adapt, evolve, and constantly earn new followers. The latter quality is clearly evident in the latest version of this venerable...

CHAPARRAL™ BIRDSEYE MAPLE Since the release of the first model in 2011, Spyderco’s Chaparral series has steadily redefined the form of the gentleman’s pocketknife. Perhaps more accurately called a “prestige” folder (after all, its compact size makes it ideal for ladies as well), the Chaparral concept was inspired by a plant known for its ability to regenerate after harsh weather conditions and even wildfires. Mirroring that resilient spirit, the Chaparral series uses a single, highly refined design format to showcase a variety of distinctive handle materials and texture patterns. The most recent addition to this elite family features genuine birdseye maple scales. Sometimes also spelled “bird’s eye,” this stunning material gets its...
