Spyderco byte March 2023 - Spyderco Insider Amsterdam MEET On Sunday, February 26, Eric Glesser and select members of our Crew hosted the annual Spyderco “Meet” in Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

The 65 guests fortunate enough to attend this year’s Meet got a rare glimpse of dozens of knives slated for possible inclusion in Spyderco’s product line. Eric...

Spyderco byte March 2023 - EDGE-U-CATION® - Caring for Your Spyderco Kitchen Knife Caring for Your Spyderco Kitchen Knife You owe it to yourself to invest in high-quality kitchen knives that offer premium performance in the kitchen. Once you’ve made that investment, however, there are a few rules you need to follow to keep your knives cutting at peak potential for years to come. Rule #1: Use your knives appropriately—as cutting tools for soft foods. Quality kitchen knives—especially those with thin, high-performance edge geometry—are meant for cutting raw and cooked meats, vegetables, and other soft foods. If you are used to chopping bones, opening cans, and tightening screws with the thick, soft-bladed knives you got as a...

Spyderco byteMarch 2023 - KITCHEN CLASSICS and the MURRAY CARTER COLLECTIONS K01/K04/K05/K08/K09 K15/K16/K17/K18/K19 MSRP: $48.00 - $445.00 ORIGIN: Japan The knives in many home kitchens are subjected to tremendous cruelty and misuse… That’s why mass-market cutlery is designed the way it is—to withstand this kind of abuse. Unfortunately, when you add soft steel and wide angles to the life that knives see in the kitchen, you have tools that are more suited to bludgeoning oxen than fine-dicing a soft tomato. Chad Ward, author of “An Edge in the Kitchen: The Ultimate Guide to Kitchen Knives” If these words resonate with you, you’re not alone. When most people outfit the kitchen of their first apartment, they end up with some kind of...

Spyderco byte February 2023 - EDGE-U-CATION® - K390 K390 Spyderco is very proud to be the undisputed industry leader in the use of K390 tool steel in the manufacture of our knives. Manufactured by Böhler-Uddeholm, one of the world’s leading providers of tool steels, high-speed steels, and specialty materials, K390 MICROCLEAN is a state-of-the-art cold work tool steel produced by the particle metallurgy process. Its advanced alloy mix was specifically developed to provide the extreme wear resistance and high compressive strength needed in the most demanding industrial operations. Despite its toughness, K390’s exceptionally fine, homogeneous microstructure also makes it readily machinable and easy to heat treat. Collectively, these...

Spyderco byte February 2023 - ENUFF™ 2 FB31PBK2 / SBK2 / PBL2K390 ENUFF™ 2 MSRP: $240.00 - $320.00 ORIGIN: Japan There is a significant difference between casual knife users and those who use their blades for serious cutting chores. Experienced users know that, for most cutting tasks, the closer the material being cut is to the “heel” of the blade (the part of the sharpened edge closest to the handle), the more leverage and control they will have. As a knife’s blade gets longer, the leverage of its length can actually work against the strength of the user’s hand, making it difficult to apply cutting pressure with the distal portion of the edge. Not until the blade offers enough length and mass to serve as a chopping tool does...

NEWSLETTER EXTREMA RATIO: MISERICORDIA DESERT Extrema Ratio Misericordia Desert preserves all the characteristics of the famous Misericordia, model adopted by the 4th Alpine Paratrooper Regiment, and is derived from the commemorative dagger made for the 140th anniversary of the 4th Alpine Regiment and the 70th anniversary of the institution of the Alpine Paratroopers. It is a fixed-blade tactical knife meant for those circumstances in which a knife has to be extremely light and compact. The new desert coloration gives to this model a new tone that best meets the needs of the most modern operative units. The blade is milled in Böhler N690 steel, heat treated to 58 HRC, and is 118 mm (4.64”) long and 4mm (0.16”) thick with a flat grind...

Spyderco byte January 2023 - EDGE-U-CATION® CPM MAGNACUT CPM MAGNACUT Few developments have caused as much excitement in the knife industry as the development of MagnaCut steel. A uniquely different approach to stainless steel metallurgy, it offers an unparalleled synergy of toughness, edge retention, and corrosion resistance. To fully understand the brilliance of this remarkable blade material, it helps to understand the man behind it: Dr. Larrin Thomas. Larrin Thomas is the son of Devin Thomas, a renowned custom bladesmith and one of the pioneers of making stainless Damascus steel. After attending the Las Vegas Custom Knife show with his father at age 16, Larrin became fascinated with the performance aspects of various blade...

Spyderco byte January 2023 - NATIVE® 5 LIGHTWEIGHT SALT® YELLOW CPM® MAGNACUT® C41PYL5 / SYL5 NATIVE® 5 MSRP: $216.00 ORIGIN: USA Spyderco is very proud and excited to release our first full-production knife featuring CPM MagnaCut blade steel.

Spyderco byte December 2022 - EDGE-U-CATION® - The Compression Lock Invented by Spyderco co-founder Sal Glesser in the year 2000 and formally recognized by a U.S. Utility Patent in 2003, the Compression Lock was a milestone achievement in folding knife lock engineering. Although often misunderstood as “a LinerLock on the back of the handle,” it is actually one of the simplest, strongest, safest, and most user-friendly locks ever developed. Michael Walker’s LinerLock took the traditional brass split liner safety of old-school pocketknives and elevated it to one of the most functional, ubiquitous, and, sadly, unacknowledged, lock mechanisms in the cutlery industry. Elegantly simple, it uses a split liner, or in some cases, an inset...

Spyderco byte December 2022 - PARA™ 3 LIGHTWEIGHT C223PBK / SBK PARA™ 3 MSRP: $165.00 ORIGIN: USA PARA 3 LIGHTWEIGHT The Para 3 Lightweight is one of Spyderco’s most refined folding knife designs. It is also the latest chapter in an evolutionary process that began with the introduction of the iconic Military™ Model back in 1996. The inspiration for the original Military Model began when a customer asked Spyderco co-founder Sal Glesser a simple, but profound question: “If your son was going into the military, what knife would you give him?” Although Spyderco was already manufacturing an impressive selection of CLIPIT® folding knives at that time, Sal didn’t feel that any of them met the exact needs of forward-deployed military...
