SPYDERCO DESIGNER'S MARKS Edge-U-Cation® In 1990, Spyderco became the first production knife company to collaborate with a custom knifemaker in the design of a factory-made knife. That groundbreaking effort created the C15 Bob Terzuola CLIPIT® and became a turning point in the history of the cutlery industry. Since that time, Spyderco has continued to set the standard in partnering with custom knifemakers, martial artists, industrial designers, and other accomplished subject matter experts in the design of our products. Although our in-house talent—led by company founder Sal Glesser and his son Eric—continues to reign among the knife industry’s best and most prolific designers, our open-minded approach to collaborating with other...

20th ANNIVERSARY OF 9/11 Update September 11, 2001 changed our world forever.

THIN LINE SERIES Featured Product SKU: C10FPSBKBL C11FPSBKBL C14FPSBKBL C243FPSBKBL C10FPSBKRD C11FPSBKRD C14FPSBKRD C 243FPSBKRD MSRP: $130.00 to $155.00 ORIGIN: Japan When Spyderco revolutionized the form of the modern folding knife back in the early 1980’s, many traditional knife users were skeptical of our unorthodox designs. The Trademark Round Hole™, the pronounced “hump” on the spine of the blade, the pocket clip, and the aggressive serrated edge made our knives very different from the brass-bolstered, wood-scaled back lock folders they were used to. Some of the very first end users to embrace the Spyderco approach to knife design were law enforcement officers and first responders. As duty-bound professionals, they valued...

Unlocking the History of non-locking Knives Edge-U-Cation® Non-locking pocketknives were the first knives to combine the convenience and ease of carry of folding construction with the utility of a sharp cutting edge. The oldest known folding knife, the Hallstatt Knife, was a member of this breed. Named after a village in present-day Austria where it was found, it has been dated by archeologists to approximately 500 to 600 BC, so folding knives have clearly been serving mankind for more than 2,500 years. The earliest folding knives were friction folders, as they relied only on the friction of the handle around the blade pivot to keep the blade open during use. Some friction folders also had a tab that extended from the tang of the...
