SKU is short for Stock Keeping Unit. The SKU is an identifier for products - knives in this case. Spyderco's SKUs can be divided into the following:


Spyderco C-SKUs

All SKUs used by Spyderco that begin with a "C" are reserved for folding knives (maybe derived from ClipIt)

Spyderco B-SKUs

The SKUs starting with a "B" indicate the knife to be a Balisong knife.

Spyderco FB-SKUs

SKUs starting with "FB" designate the knives of Spyderco's fixed blade line.

Spyderco J-SKUs

The SKUs starting with "J" are reserved for the Jester models.

Spyderco K-SKUs

SKUs with a "K" at the beginning are reserved for Spyderco's kitchen knives

Spyderco L-SKUs

The SKUs that start with an "L" belong to the Ladybug models.

Spyderco T-SKUs

Until today only three models hold an SKU starting with a "T". These are the TC07 Tie Clip, the T01 SpydeRench and T02 SpyderSaw.

SKUs that fall out of this System

Spyderco also used some other SKUs that fall out of this System because they either consisted completely of numbers, they are completely different to all other SKUs or an alphabetical character was used for a model that was never used again for another one. These models are:
