Extrema Ratio is proud to present the new Heavy Folder HF2, available with Drop and Tanto blade and in Black and Desert Warfare version. This folding knife is projected for those who are looking for sturdiness and reliability of a fixed blade but also for compact sizes. Its N690 steel blade is available with Drop or Tanto point. For standard use the well known liner lock is enough safe. In case of hard extreme works it is requested to insert the steel pin in the proper hole to cross the handle and the blade, obtaining in this way a sturdy and reliable knife as much as a fixed blade. The steel clip can be removed or even placed on the opposite site of the handle by replacing it with the second supplied clip. It comes in four...

Spyderco - Karahawk™ CQI - Constant Quality Improvement The Karahawk—Spyderco’s folding interpretation of the traditional karambit—just got better. This iconic knife features a ring at the butt end of the handle that allows it to be spun around the index finger with specific martial arts techniques. To make these specialized tactics even more effective, the Karahawk now features a reinforced ring. A layer of G-10 has been added between the handle’s stainless steel liners to strengthen the structure and provide increased surface area. The internal corners of the ring’s hole have also been radiused to eliminate square edges and ensure smooth, comfortable manipulation. The improved version of the Karahawk is shipping now...

Spyderco - In Memory of Jess Horn It was with great sadness that Spyderco learned of the passing of custom knifemaking pioneer Jess Horn on February 14, 2016. Jesse Leon Horn, Jr. began making knives in the early 1970’s in a chainsaw-repair shop in Redding, California. Although he began the craft as a hobby, he ultimately became a full-time maker and was admired and respected for his exquisitely crafted custom folding knives. In addition to being a pioneer in the custom knifemaking world, Horn also had a profound influence on one of Spyderco’s founders, Sal Glesser. In the early 1970’s Glesser was also living in Redding, California and working as a cabinetmaker. One day, one of Glesser’s friends who knew of Sal’s lifelong fascination...

Pattada is best known for its production of traditional Sardinian ethnic knives called resolzas. For generations, local artisans in Pattada have specialized in hand crafting this classic shepherd’s folding knife pattern, which features a long, narrow blade with a pronounced belly that tapers to an acute...

Extrema Ratio - Fulcrum C FH - Shrapnel OG FH Extrema Ratio is proud to present the new version of Fulcrum C and Shrapnel OG with a more comfortable 127 mm FULL HANDLE. FULCRUM C is the compact version of the FULCRUM, which it equals in robustness and sturdiness. Its downsized blade (only 4" 1/3 long) and handle make it comfortable to carry and easily concealed. The included hard sheath can be worn vertically, horizontally or obliquely (at a 45° angle), and sports a single automatic pressure-activated security lock for quick, easier drawing and sheating. This makes the FULCRUM C an intuitive, rapid-use knife, ideally suited to emergencies or self-defense. The original version of the FULCRUM C comes with a 3.93in compact handle, the...

Para Military 2 Production Deviation It’s no secret that the Para Military 2 is one of Spyderco’s most popular and in-demand products. Since its introduction in 2010, we have worked extremely hard to increase our production of it and, particularly since the opening of our new factory facility last year, have made great progress toward that end. Although we are now producing more Para Military 2s than ever before, we recently ran into an unexpected problem. After machining a large batch of G-10 scales for the Para Military 2, we peeled off the protective top layer and discovered that the texture of the material we received was coarser than the G-10 we normally use. We had this same experience in our production of the scales for the...

Spyderco’s CPM® S110V® Family Spyderco has a close relationship with Crucible® Industries, the manufacturers of many of the steels we use in our knives. When Crucible developed CPM S110V stainless steel a few years ago, they sent us some for testing. As one of the industry leaders in “pushing the envelope” of blade steels, we jumped at the chance and eagerly put CPM S110V through its paces. In addition to testing every aspect of the steel’s performance in finished knives, we also evaluated its machinability, consistency in heat treating, surface finish, and overall behavior as a manufacturing material. When the dust settled, we really liked the steel and welcomed the opportunity to do more with it. As soon as CPM S110V became...
