==The C223GP Para 3==

'''MSRP:''' $199.95

'''Wholesale:''' $99.95

'''MAP:''' $119.97

'''Origin:''' USA

Easily one of the most anticipated products in Spyderco’s history, the Para 3 is the latest generation of our immensely popular Para Military family of folding knives. It traces its history all the way back to the first-generation Para Military™ model, which was introduced in 2004 and even further to that knife’s inspiration: the iconic Military™ Model.

The original design intent of the Para Military was to provide the same proven reliability and cutting performance of the Military, but in a more compact, easy-to-carry package. The design also showcased Spyderco’s patented Compression Lock™—a high-strength lock mechanism housed in the spine of the handle that offered a number of significant advantages over the Military’s LinerLock.

In keeping with Spyderco’s deep commitment to Constant Quality Improvement (C.Q.I.), in 2010 the Para Military was redesigned to yield the Para Military 2. This second-generation design incorporated an improved lock detent, refined ergonomics, countersunk handle and pivot screws, and a four-position clip that supports all possible carry configurations. These enhancements quickly established the “Para 2” as one of Spyderco’s most popular and in-demand models and, to many end users, the “perfect” folding knife. While it was significantly smaller than the Military Model that inspired it, for some customers it was still larger than what they could comfortably or legally carry. Based on that feedback, we went back to the drawing board once again to distill all the features, benefits, and performance of the Para Military 2 into a “sub-compact” package built around a three-inch blade. The result is the Para 3.

Although clearly based on the Para Military 2, the Para 3 was not named the “Para Military 3” because its smaller size qualifies it as a different knife design. Similarly, the “3” in its name actually reflects its three-inch blade length rather than identifying it as a third-generation of the Para Military design. While its pedigree is unmistakable, the Para 3 (and its model and SKU number) has its own distinct “identity” as a Spyderco product.

With that said, the Para 3 does faithfully retain all the defining features of the best-selling Para Military 2, but in a smaller, even handier package. Its three-inch blade is precision machined from premium CPM® S30V® particle metallurgy stainless steel and features a full-flat grind for superior edge geometry and low-friction cutting performance. Its oversized Trademark Round Hole™ proudly announces the knife’s pedigree and is easily accessible from either side to allow swift, ambidextrous, one-handed opening.

The lightweight, open-backed handle is built on a framework of stout stainless steel liners nested within textured G-10 scales. This refined construction style maximizes both structural strength and ergonomics while keeping the handle slim and pocket friendly. It’s also the foundation of the knife’s patented Compression Lock™ mechanism, which provides exceptional lock strength, yet allows easy one-handed closing without placing your fingers in the path of the blade’s edge. A streamlined four-position hourglass clip and a generously sized lanyard hole round out the design, offering a choice of left or right-side tip-up or tip-down carry and allowing the easy attachment of lanyards or fobs.

The Para 3 is a remarkably refined folding knife with a distinguished history. It’s also a shining example of our tireless quest for perfection and our deep commitment to meeting our customers’ needs.

==Edge-U-Cation: Understanding Serrations==

Serrations can greatly enhance the cutting power of a knife’s edge, especially when that power is applied to materials like rope, cord, webbing, and other fibrous materials. A serrated edge is also the tool of choice for many kitchen and cooking chores, including slicing bread. But despite the obvious utility of serrations, a surprising number of knife users shy away from them because they believe they are difficult to sharpen. That’s simply not the case—especially when you understand Spyderco’s serrations and our sharpening tools.

First, let’s explore why serrations cut so aggressively. In simplest terms, a serrated edge offers more edge length than a plain edge. If you took two identical blades—one with a plain edge and one with a serrated edge—and imagined “stretching” the serrated edge until all its teeth, angles, and recesses were perfectly straight, it would be significantly longer than the edge of the plain-edged blade.

Serrated edges also make contact with the material being cut at many different angles, constantly establishing new cutting angles and pressures. This interrupted cutting dynamic also allows the serrations to contour to the surface shape of the material being cut, further increasing their effectiveness.

One of Spyderco’s most significant contributions to the cutlery industry was the introduction of serrated cutting edges on folding knives. During Spyderco’s early history, its founders sold knife sharpeners and other brands of kitchen knives as “pitchmen” at fairs and trade shows across the country. That experience taught them a lot about what sharpness and cutting performance are really all about and gave them an exceptional insight into the advantages of serrated edges.

Subsequently, Spyderco invested significant time, energy, and resources into the research and development of serrated edges. By understanding how serrated edges cut, we learned how to optimize their performance and ultimately developed our own high-performance serration pattern—the SpyderEdge™.

To really understand serrated edges, it’s important to realize that all cutting edges are in fact serrated edges. Even the finest, most highly polished edge consists of thousands of microscopic teeth generated by the abrasive material used to create it. Cutting with a PlainEdge™ blade is therefore very much like cutting with a microscopic saw.

A serrated edge takes this same concept and scales it up, providing greater and more purposeful control over the shape, size, and angle of the edge’s teeth. Spyderco’s highly refined SpyderEdge pattern, which consists of an alternating series of one large groove and two smaller ones, is based on years of relentless research, development, and product testing. Each groove is separated by a highly defined, acutely pointed tooth and the terminal cutting edge runs continuously along all the recesses of the grooves. This scientifically perfected pattern offers 24% more total cutting edge than a plain edged blade of the same length. The acute points of each tooth create focused penetration points that initiate the cutting action, while the concave edges in each groove offer an infinite number of cutting angles that automatically contour to the material being cut. The result is a dynamic fusion of highly aggressive cutting mechanics that is extremely effective, especially on hard-to-cut fibrous materials like rope and webbing.

The serration pattern on our SpyderEdge kitchen knives is even further refined by making the points of the serrations longer. This allows them to contact the surface of a cutting board while raising the rest of the cutting edge above it, preserving the edge and allowing it to cut significantly longer without dulling.

Right out of the box, our SpyderEdge knives cut with a vengeance and stay sharper longer than traditional PlainEdge blades. But, like all knives, with enough use they will ultimately start to dull. So how do you get them sharp again? The easiest way is with our Tri-Angle Sharpmaker®, a complete sharpening system that uses triangular ceramic rods with rounded edges as the sharpening abrasive. Contrary to popular belief, it’s not necessary to individually sharpen each serration scallop. Instead, use the Sharpmaker in the conventional manner—by holding the plane of the blade vertical and drawing the edge from heel to tip along each stone. The only difference is that you should use a looser grip and go a little slower to allow the edge of the stone to “flow” down into the recesses of each scallop. Also, since the serrations are only ground on one side of the blade, make three passes on the “bevel” side of the serration and one pass on the “back” side to remove the burr. Continue this process, alternating three strokes on the bevel side to one on the back side, until the desired sharpness is achieved.

Serrations can supercharge the cutting power of a blade and are ideal for many cutting chores. Now that you understand them—and know how easy is to sharpen them—there’s no reason NOT to include them in your selection of cutting tools.

==The FB38GP Junction==

'''MSRP:''' $299.95

'''Wholesale:''' $149.95

'''MAP:''' $179.97

'''Origin:''' Taiwan

Gayle Bradley’s Junction is a versatile, all-purpose fixed-blade knife that is ideal for hunters, backpackers, and outdoorsmen on the go. True to the custom version that inspired it, Spyderco’s production version of the Junction’s blade is precision ground from PSF27—an incredibly tough spray-formed tool steel that is one of Bradley’s personal favorite blade materials.

The spray-forming process is used in some industrial applications to spray molten steel onto a form, creating a complex, near-finished shape that requires very little finish machining. Although this method is not used when producing bar stock for knife blades, like the particle metallurgy process, spray forming rapidly solidifies molten steel into small particles. This “freezes” the component alloys of the material so they cannot “segregate” or settle and produces steel with an ultra-fine, extremely homogenous grain structure.

PSF27’s alloy composition includes chromium, molybdenum, vanadium and a generous 1.55% carbon. In simple terms, this makes it very similar to that of D2 tool steel—long a cutlery industry standard. However, because of its unique properties, it offers greater wear resistance and significantly better chipping resistance. Like D2, its chromium content is 12%—just below the official threshold for stainless steel—so care should be taken to maintain it properly.

From a design perspective, the Junction’s blade features a broad profile, a full-flat grind, and a gracefully curved belly. The synergy of these elements creates impressive edge geometry that reduces cutting friction and allows the blade to tackle both delicate tasks and extreme cutting chores with equal ease. For maximum control and strength, the Junction features a wide, ergonomic handle and a subtle integral guard that helps keep the user’s hand from sliding forward onto the edge. Its sturdy full tang is nestled between slim, smooth G-10 scales that are permanently attached with stout tubular rivets that ensure superior structural strength and allow the knife to be easily lashed to a pole as an improvised survival spear.

The Junction comes complete with a custom-molded Boltaron® sheath and a versatile G-Clip™ attachment that allows it to be configured for vertical, horizontal, or diagonal canted carry. The G-Clip can be attached to both faces of the symmetrical sheath to support a wide range of belt carry and clip-style inside-the-waistband carry positions.

The next-best thing to one of Bradley’s coveted custom fixed blades, the Junction is the ideal companion for all your outdoor adventures.

==The C214TIP Advocate==

'''MSRP: $369.95

'''Wholesale:''' $189.95

'''MAP:''' $221.97

'''Origin:''' Taiwan

The all-new Spyderco Advocate represents a new direction in folding knife design from Gayle Bradley. It reflects his recent focus on more tactically oriented knives while maintaining all the key qualities and attributes that make his designs so special.

Like many of Bradley’s coveted custom knives, the Advocate's blade is precision machined from CPM® M4—a high-performance particle metallurgy tool steel renowned for its extreme edge-holding ability. The full-flat-ground, PlainEdged™ blade includes a fully functional Trademark Round Hole™ for traditional one-handed opening methods, as well as a prominent index-finger flipper that also functions as a lower guard when the blade is open. Special friction-reducing ball-bearing washers on each side of the blade’s pivot ensure an ultra-smooth action and lightning-quick deployment regardless of the opening method used.

The Advocate’s distinctive handle consists of two painstakingly machined solid titanium scales. Their outer surfaces are carefully radiused to provide a comfortable, ergonomic grip and treated with a stunning “orange peel” texture that is both visually appealing and provides a subtle non-slip texture. The reverse-side scale is machined to create a high-strength Reeve Integral Lock (R.I.L.) mechanism that is complemented by a hardened stainless steel interface. The interface ensures long-wearing, steel-on-steel contact between the lock face and blade ramp and also serves as an overtravel stop to preserve the lock bar’s proper spring tension. To minimize weight, the handle boasts an open-backed construction style that also simplifies cleaning and maintenance. A reversible hourglass clip provides convenient left or right-side tip-up carry and guarantees that the Advocate is always poised and ready for action.

A spectacular reflection of Gayle Bradley’s latest design and knifemaking efforts, the Advocate is also a proud new addition to the Spyderco family of flipper-opening folders.

==Designer profile: Gayle Bradley==

Gayle Bradley is a name that should be very familiar to Spyderco fans. One of our most prolific collaborative designers, he has also been instrumental in inspiring our efforts to adapt exotic, high-performance blade steels to commercial knife production.

A proud native Texan, Bradley began making custom knives in 1988. As his skills and reputation as a maker steadily grew, so did the demand for his meticulously crafted blades. By April 2002, he hit the tipping point and decided to become a full–time knifemaker. That decision is one that both he and his devoted customers will never regret.

In addition to being a voting member of The Knifemakers Guild, and a former member of the Board of Directors of The Texas Knifemakers and Collectors Association, Bradley is also a former competitor and world record holder in BladeSports International cutting competition. The demanding challenges of competitive cutting provide an excellent opportunity for courageous custom makers to test their blades. In Bradley’s case, it also gave him an exceptional understanding of the finer aspects of knife design, edge geometry, steel selection, heat treatment, and real cutting performance. That understanding is what continues to distinguish him and his knives from his knifemaking peers.

Bradley is best known for making high-end fixed-blade and folding knives using the finest materials and time-tested old-school craftsmanship. To date, his traditional custom designs have inspired Spyderco collaboration models such as the Bradley Folder™, the Bradley Folder 2, the Air™, the Bradley Bowie™, and the new Junction™ fixed blade. Bradley’s collaborations, however, are much more than just knife designs. They also mirror his use of exotic, high-performance steels like CPM® M4 and PSF27, faithfully translating his elite custom work to factory-made knives and in the process significantly pushing the envelope of production-knife blade steels.

Never one to rest on his laurels, Bradley has recently been concentrating on developing designs with a more tactical flavor. Not surprisingly, his tactical blades are every bit as impressive as his utilitarian designs—and every bit as inspiring. His latest folder collaboration with Spyderco—the newly released Advocate™—is proof of that.

Gayle Bradley is a remarkable combination of designer, craftsman, and salt-of-the-Earth American patriot. We are honored to be able to share his designs with our customers and to have him as a member of the Spyderco team.

The Spyderco byte October 2016 e-newsletter was sent out on 31 October 2016, and it contained the following articles.

==Featured product: The C211TIP SpydieChef==

'''MSRP:''' $319.95

'''Origin:''' Taiwan

The SpydieChef is Spyderco’s latest collaboration with Polish custom knifemaker Marcin Slysz. Renowned for his elegantly simple designs and flawless craftsmanship, Slysz began making fixed-blade knives in 2006 and quickly developed the skills to graduate to the high-tech folding knives that are now his specialty. His highly recognizable style—as seen in his previous collaborations, the Techno™ and Slysz Bowie™—typically features titanium handles, Reeve Integral Lock (R.I.L.) mechanisms, and premium stainless steel blades, but he also enjoys making slip-joint folders, a broad range of fixed blades, and a variety of unique tactical tools.

Although its name suggests that it’s a pure kitchen tool, the Spydiechef is actually a highly evolved folding knife intended for all-purpose use. It takes the user-friendly ergonomics and deft balance of a world-class chef’s knife and translates them into an extremely versatile cutting tool that is compact and convenient enough for everyday carry.

The Spydiechef’s most prominent feature its gracefully curved, full-flat-ground blade, which is precision machined from LC200N steel. The “other” steel (besides H-1®) in Spyderco’s elite Salt Series™ of knives, LC200N is a state-of-the-art high nitrogen alloyed tool steel that is specifically formulated to offer superior corrosion resistance and extreme toughness, even at high levels of hardness. For more information on this extraordinary blade material, please see the Edge-U-Cation® section of this issue of the byte.

In classic Slysz style, Spydiechef features an open-backed handle built with two precision-machined solid titanium scales. The reverse-side scale forms the foundation of a high-strength Reeve Integral Lock (R.I.L.) mechanism that locks the blade securely open when in use, yet allows easy one-handed lock release. The handle’s refined ergonomics and integral lower guard ensure a secure, comfortable grip and naturally orient the blade’s cutting edge for maximum control during use. For additional security when working around water, the handle also includes a generously sized lanyard hole that allows the easy attachment of safety lines and lanyards. A reversible deep-pocket wire clip provides convenient, ambidextrous, tip-up carry and ensures that the knife is always poised for immediate access. Like the blade and titanium scales, the pocket clip, screws, and all other component parts of the Spydiechef are machined from highly corrosion-resistant alloys. This ensures that it is practically impervious to the elements and qualifies it as a worthy member of Spyderco’s Salt Series.

The Spydiechef is an amazing fusion of advanced design, custom-quality craftsmanship, and state-of-the-art corrosion-resistant materials. If you’re looking for serious cutting performance in a tool that is immune to even the harshest environments, you’ll find it in the Spydiechef.

==LC200N==

Spyderco’s extraordinary Salt Series revolutionized the cutlery industry with the introduction of a complete line of 100% rustproof knives featuring nitrogen-based H-1 steel. Although H-1 is still the steel of choice in most of the knives in the Salt family, it has recently been joined by another remarkable corrosion-resistant material: LC200N.

LC200N is a high nitrogen alloyed tool steel produced by a combination of the PESR (Pressurized Electric Slag Remelting) Process and “smart forging” technology. This results in an amazing increase in the steel’s purity and a very fine and homogenous microstructure. The material’s advantages include excellent machinability and polishability, outstanding dimensional stability after heat treatment, and superior corrosion resistance and toughness—even at high hardness.

Unlike H-1’s work-hardening properties, LC200N is a true martensitic steel that achieves its hardness through traditional heat treating. Regarded as the material of choice for applications that involve high static and dynamic loads in corrosive environments, LC200N is widely used in the food, chemical, recycling, and pharmaceutical industries, as well as in mirror-polished dies used in the plastics industry. It is best known, however, as NASA’s preferred material for the ball bearings used in their aerospace equipment.

LC200N’s unique alloy composition includes: 0.3% Carbon, 15% Chromium, 0.5% Nitrogen, 0.95% Molybdenum, 0.5% Nickel, and 1.00% Manganese. When this combination of elements is translated to knife blades, LC200N provides an exceptional blend of toughness, edge holding, and corrosion resistance. As a martensitic steel, it also allows the precise control of finished hardness through the hardening and tempering processes.

Spyderco first introduced LC200N in its popular Tusk™ mariner’s tool and proudly features it in the new Marcin Slysz-inspired Spydiechef. We are also incorporating it into select Exclusive models like our recent collaboration with Never Summer Industries.

LC200N is an exciting addition to Spyderco’s Salt Series and our ever-expanding selection of high-performance blade steels. Look for this remarkable material in more new models in the near future.

==Featured product: The C206GP Introvert==

'''MSRP:''' $314.95

'''Origin:''' Japan

The newly released Introvert is a unique accomplishment in folding knife design. The brainchild of a chemistry teacher and long-time Spyderco fanatic named Chris Knutson, it is the world’s first lock back flipper-opening folder. Its fascinating history and development, however, go much deeper than that.

Knutson began studying the Filipino martial arts at an early age. In addition to martial arts skills, his instructors also taught him an appreciation for high-quality knives—especially those from Spyderco. Based on that influence, he bought his first Spyderco knife—a Snap-It™—when he was only 12, and has been a loyal enthusiast ever since.

As a young adult, Knutson discovered the Spyderco S.P.O.T.™ (Self-Protection Options Tool)—a compact fixed-blade knife that featured a prominent index-finger hole in the forward portion of the handle. Pioneered by French custom knifemaker and martial artist Fred Perrin, this brilliantly simple feature locks the knife firmly into the user’s hand, providing extreme grip security and allowing full dexterity of the fingers without having to sheath the knife. Knutson was captivated by this design element and even more enthralled with Spyderco’s release of the Swick™—a very similar fixed-blade design produced in limited quantities for consumer-direct sales.
To Knutson, the Swick was the perfect knife. Unfortunately, his profession as a chemistry teacher did not allow him to carry a fixed-blade in a university environment, so he set about designing a folding version of the Swick. Using plastic, dowels, and his girlfriend’s broken hairpin as a spring, he created a working model of the design that he later shared with Spyderco’s founders at the Oregon Knife Show. They were intrigued by the uniquely different concept and ultimately decided to produce it as a factory knife. The Introvert was born.

The Introvert is an unorthodox folding knife that combines a flipper opener, a sturdy back lock mechanism, and generous index-finger hole to create a flipper-opening back lock folding knife. Its blade is precision machined from VG-10 stainless steel and features a sweeping PlainEdge™ cutting edge and a full-flat grind for outstanding edge geometry. In the open position, the blade’s Perrin-inspired index-finger hole anchors the knife into the user’s hand to ensure superior grip security. When the knife is closed, the leading edge of the hole also functions as a flipper, allowing the blade to be swiftly opened with a stroke of the index finger. The blade also includes a fully functional Trademark Round Hole™ that supports traditional thumb openings and proudly identifies it as a Spyderco product.

The handle is built on a framework of full stainless steel liners capped with textured G-10 scales. Its “dropped” angle complements the hand’s natural ergonomics, maximizes the knife’s cutting leverage, and shortens the opening arc of the blade for more rapid, positive deployment. The handle is also home to a unique variant of the traditional back lock mechanism that includes a machined slot in the lock bar to allow the blade’s flipper to pass through it.
To ensure convenient carry and immediate access, the Introvert includes a reversible deep-pocket wire clip that supports both left and right-side tip-up carry. Together with the knife’s other symmetrical features, it makes carry and operation of the Introvert completely ambidextrous.

An amazingly different design with a fascinating history, the Spyderco Introvert is an innovative, extremely functional folding knife that is well suited for both utility and defensive use. Despite its name, there’s no need to be shy…

==A Time of Remembrance==

This month Spyderco joined the rest of our nation in commemorating the 15th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Our permanent display of steel girders recovered from the ruins of the World Trade Center serves as a constant reminder of the lives that were lost that day and an enduring tribute to their memories. During the past few weeks, this very special display took on even greater significance, drawing the silent attention of many of our employees and visitors who used it as a touchstone to pay their respects. Spyderco is honored to maintain such a powerful and tangible symbol of the events that forever changed the character of our country. We are also proud to do our part to ensure that the lives lost and forever changed that day are never forgotten.

'''Serving those who serve us'''

September was also a busy month for Spyderco’s sales and marketing team members, who represented our brand at two major military trade shows. The Maneuver Warfighter show was held at the Maneuver Center of Excellence, Ft. Benning, Georgia—one of the U.S. Army’s premier training facilities and home to the United States Army Armor School, United States Army Infantry School, the Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation (formerly known as the School of the Americas), elements of the 75th Ranger Regiment, and many other additional units. Students of the center who attended the show included officers and enlisted personnel from all branches of the U.S. military and the forces of many allied countries.

The Modern Day Marine show, held at Quantico Marine Base near Washington, D.C. draws visitors from the Marine Corps and other U.S. military branches, as well as the FBI, DEA, and many other federal agencies.

These events are an excellent opportunity for Spyderco to support the military community, share our products with interested military and law enforcement personnel, and receive valuable feedback and suggestions from them based on their specific mission needs. This year, they also came at an auspicious time for us to commemorate the 20th anniversary of one of our most popular tactical folding knives—the Military™ Model.

Originally introduced in 1996, the Military Model was a literal answer to the question, “If your son was going into military service, what knife would you give him?” Its defining features included a broad, full-flat-ground blade, lightweight, open-backed handle construction, a user-friendly LinerLock mechanism, and an oversized Trademark Round Hole™ for swift, ambidextrous, one-handed opening—even while wearing gloves. Although optimized for use by military personnel, it found favor among all classes of knife users and quickly established itself as one of Spyderco’s most iconic designs.

Initial production of the Military featured ATS-34 blade steel and included both PlainEdge™ and fully serrated SpyderEdge™ configurations with either a satin or black-coated blade finish. In the late 1990’s, the blade steel was changed to CPM® 440V and both the design of the knife and its tip-down pocket clip were refined. In 2004, the blade steel was changed again to CPM S30V®, which remains the standard for most current versions of the knife.

In 2009, the standard G-10-handled versions of the Military Model were joined by one with titanium scales and a Reeve Integral Lock (R.I.L.) mechanism. A year later, a fluted titanium version with brilliantly colored scales was also introduced. Both of these are still available and now include stainless steel lock interfaces; however, the current fluted titanium version has a bright silver finish.

Earlier this year, the Military joined the elite ranks of Spyderco’s CPM S110V family of knives. This advanced blade steel offers extreme edge-holding and corrosion-resistance and is paired with the signature dark blue handle scales of this series.

As one of Spyderco’s most popular and recognizable patterns, the Military Model has also been a platform for many Sprint Runs, Exclusives, left-handed versions, and other highly collectible limited-edition versions. Its core qualities, however, always remained the same. A shining example of our commitment to producing reliable, high-performance knives that are worthy of your trust, the Military Model is an extraordinary design that—like our commitment to serving our nation’s men and women in uniform—continues to endure the test of time.

==Never Summer Native 5 Exclusive==

Never Summer is a Denver, Colorado-based company that specializes in crafting some of the finest snowboards and longboards on the planet. Their stellar reputation for quality and durability began in 1983 and has steadily grown to make them one of the undisputed leaders in the industry.

In addition to their excellence as a business, they are also extremely active in supporting worthy charities and believe strongly in giving back to the community. Through an exclusive arrangement with Spyderco, Never Summer has developed two extremely unique, limited-edition products that will be sold to raise funds for the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation—an organization dedicated to honoring firefighters who gave their lives in the line of duty and helping their families to cope with their loss.

Made by the skilled craftsmen at Never Summer, the first product is a beautifully made, state-of-the-art snowboard embellished with a dynamic graphic of a firefighter in action. This premium snowboard features the very best in Never Summer’s industry-leading technology and offers unparalleled performance.

The second product is an Exclusive limited edition version of Spyderco’s incredibly popular Native® 5 Lightweight folding knife. Manufactured in our Golden, Colorado factory, this remarkable knife features a blade precision machined from LC200N steel—an extraordinary nitrogen-based alloy used by NASA in the ball bearings of high-performance aerospace equipment. Its advanced alloy composition offers exceptional toughness and edge retention and makes it extremely corrosion resistant. To further increase its resistance to the elements, the blade is cloaked in a black Diamond Like Carbon (DLC) coating that also accentuates the laser-engraved logos Never Summer and the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation. Its full-flat grind and partially serrated CombinationEdge™ cutting edge ensure superior cutting performance on all types of materials and the Trademark Round Hole™ in the blade allows quick one-handed opening with either hand.

The bright red handle of this knife is injection molded from ultra-lightweight fiberglass-reinforced nylon (FRN) and features Spyderco’s Bi-Directional Texturing™ pattern for a secure grip in even the most demanding conditions. It is home to a highly refined back lock mechanism that locks the blade securely open during use and a four-position pocket clip that supports right or left-side tip-up or tip-down carry. This feature, along with the back lock and Round Hole, makes every aspect of this knife’s carry and operation completely ambidextrous.

This extraordinary knife will be produced in limited quantities and will be available exclusively through Never Summer. Both it and the special limited-edition snowboard can be purchased separately or as a set.

'''New ''Zome'' Hand-Dyed Handles!'''

Spyderco is proud to announce the latest additions to our best-selling Delica® 4 and Endura® 4 Lightweight families: our Zome models.

''Zome'' (pronounced "zoh-may") is a class of Japanese handicrafts that specializes in dyeing textiles. It includes many different techniques of creating patterns on cloth using dyes derived from plants, flowers, fruit, and other natural sources. Some zome methods have been faithfully passed from generation to generation and the patterns they produce are deeply rooted in Japanese history and culture.

Inspired by this rich artistic heritage, Spyderco's Zome knives start with our lightweight models featuring light-colored injection-molded fiberglass-reinforced-nylon (FRN) handles. Expert Japanese artisans then use a technique reminiscent of traditional ''hiki-zome'' (brush dyeing) to hand brush various colors of dye onto the handles to create distinctive, one-of-a-kind patterns. The special dyes used completely permeate the FRN to permanently color it. This remarkable method can be used with different color palettes and base-color combinations to create distinctive "runs" of knives, while ensuring that no two knives are ever exactly alike.

Spyderco’s first Zome knives are Delica 4 and Endura 4 Lighweights with a stunning green ''zome'' dye palette and full-flat-ground VG-10 stainless steel blades. Brighten up your life by brightening up your knife!

==Maxamet Blade Steel==

Spyderco has a hard-earned reputation for pushing the envelope when it comes to high-performance blade steels. As leaders in the industry, we have also forged (pun intended) extremely strong relationships with the world’s best steel makers, and when they create something new and different, we are among the first to get a sample.

That was exactly what happened with Carpenter® Technology Corporation’s Micro-Melt® Maxamet blade steel. One of the world’s premier suppliers of high-performance steels, Carpenter developed Maxamet specifically for use in the rollers of their state-of-the-art steel rolling mills. Rolling and shaping hot steel demands a material that is incredibly hard and tough and can retain those properties at extremely high temperatures. Maxamet’s advanced alloy composition allows it to meet all those challenges and gives it qualities that offer extraordinary potential for use in other applications—like knife blades.

When Carpenter created Maxamet, they sent samples to various companies in the cutlery industry to evaluate its suitability as a blade material for factory-made knives. Although many tried, Spyderco was one of only a handful of companies to successfully develop the specialized methods necessary to machine, heat treat, and grind this advanced alloy to yield reliable, high-performance knife blades. After climbing that learning curve, we also did extensive scientific testing on Maxamet’s performance, edge retention, and toughness and found that it easily rivaled the very best steels we’ve ever used. We were impressed and are now thrilled to announce that we will be introducing it as a blade steel in elite versions of some of our best-selling US-made knives.

In simple terms, Maxamet is an ultra-hard high-speed tool steel produced by the powder metallurgy process. However, its complex alloy composition gives it properties that transcend conventional high-speed tool steels and approach those of cemented carbides—the super-hard materials used to machine other steels.

Maxamet’s remarkable alloy composition includes: Carbon: 2.15%, Manganese: 0.30%, Sulfur: 0.07%, Silicon: 0.25%, Chromium: 4.75%, Cobalt: 10.00%, Vanadium: 6.00%, and Tungsten: 13.00%. This sophisticated mix of elements, combined with the advantages of powdered metal technology, give it an extraordinary balance of wear resistance and toughness at high hardness levels. The trade-off, however, is that it does require more time and effort to sharpen. Maxamet is also a tool steel—not a stainless steel—and must be cleaned and maintained properly to prevent corrosion.

Fittingly, the first Spyderco knife to feature Maxamet blade steel was the MT24 Mule Team™. One of the primary purposes of a Mule is to offer a performance testing platform, so we felt it was the best place to start. The response from our customers has been extremely positive and it has already received some impressive reviews on the [https://forum.spyderco.com/index.php Spyderco forum].

==MT24 Buy Now==

Following on the heels of the MT24 will be the Manix™ 2 Lightweight with a Maxamet blade, which will have a “stone gray” fiberglass-reinforced-co-polymer (FRCP) handle. It should begin shipping in September 2016. Next in line after that will be a Maxamet Native® 5 Lightweight, which should be available by the end of the year.

At Spyderco we enjoy pushing the limits of knife technology and offering you high-performance cutting tools you just can’t get anywhere else. We are extremely proud to be one of the only companies in the world offering Maxamet blades on our knives and very excited to hear about your experiences with them.

==Show Update==

In early August, Spyderco exhibited at the Outdoor Retailer show Salt Lake City, Utah. This summer event offers retailers the opportunity to discover new products, learn about new trends and technologies, and meet face to face with the people behind the products. For manufacturers, it offers a platform to share their products with motivated retail buyers and media representatives who specialize in the outdoor, adventure travel, climbing, and other related industries.

Spyderco’s team proudly showcased our newest products and reconnected with many of our dealers at the show. We also spent lots of quality time with writers and editors from countless magazines, blogs, and web sites to share “coming attractions” of the knives that we’ll be releasing in the next few months.

To all of you who visited us at the show, thank you! We truly enjoyed seeing you and thank you for your continued passion for our products!

==Snapshot Rugged Maniac==

Several members of the Spyderco Crew recently took team building to an all new level by participating in the “Rugged Maniac” adventure race. This extremely demanding competition consists of a five-kilometer running course with 25 obstacles along the way. The obstacles challenged individual fitness, agility, and teamwork and included everything from water slides and trampolines to underground tunnels and fire jumps.

In the words of Spyderco’s Human Resources specialist, “It was a tons of fun. We really worked as a team and it just makes me appreciate the people I work with even more!”

Congratulations to all the Spyderco Rugged Maniacs for a job well done!!!

==Featured product: The 204MF Tri-Angle Sharpmaker==

'''MSRP:''' $104.95

'''Origin:''' USA

When Spyderco was founded in 1976, Sal and Gail Glesser were living out of a converted bread truck and traveling the country to sell knife sharpeners, kitchen cutting tools, and other products as “pitchmen” at fairs and trade shows. Selling other brands of sharpeners and serrated knives taught Sal a lot about what worked and what didn’t when it came to putting an edge on a knife, and he soon developed an idea for a significantly better sharpener design. In 1978 he made that design a reality, inventing the Tri-Angle Sharpmaker™ and setting a new standard in user-friendly knife sharpening systems.

Traditional sharpening on a flat whetstone involves keeping the blade at a consistent angle as you draw the edge across the stone—an approach that requires considerable skill, extensive practice, and lots of muscle memory. Whetstones also require oil or water to keep the stone from clogging and cannot be used to sharpen serrated edges or blades with hawkbill or recurve profiles.

The Sharpmaker solves all these problems and takes the guesswork out of the sharpening process by automatically setting the angles of the stones. All you need to do is keep the plane of your blade vertical as you draw the edge from heel to point. Maintaining the same grip and vertical orientation as you alternate side to side on the two stones ensures a consistent edge angle on both sides of the blade and quickly establishes a sharp, usable edge.

The durable ABS plastic base of the Sharpmaker includes two sets of holes for the ceramic stones—one for a 40-degree included edge angle (20 degrees per side—perfect for most utility knives) and one for a 30-degree included edge angle (15 degrees per side for kitchen cutlery and other thinner blades). These holes are also specially shaped so the triangular stones can be oriented to contact the knife’s cutting edge either on the flat or the corner of the stone.

For PlainEdge™ blades, either contact surface may be used; but for serrated edges, using the rounded corners of the stones is the way to go. By using the same basic technique and a slightly looser grip, the corner of the stone “flows” down into the concave sections of the serrations to sharpen the cutting edge along its entire length. Three passes on the bevel side of the serration establishes the edge and a single pass on the opposite side removes the burr to leave a sharp, highly capable edge. The rounded corners of the triangular stones are also ideal for sharpening blades with hawkbill or recurve profiles.

Unlike traditional whetstones, the Sharpmaker’s alumina ceramic stones are designed to be used dry and do not require oil or water. Since they are significantly harder than most knife blades, they remove blade steel as they sharpen and will eventually clog with use. When this happens, simply clean them with warm water and ordinary kitchen cleanser to remove the steel and open their pores. Properly cleaned and cared for, they will last a lifetime.

Out of the box, the Tri-Angle Sharpmaker package includes an ABS plastic base, a matching ABS cover/handle, two medium-grit stones, two fine-grit stones, two brass safety rods, a detailed instructional booklet, and a step-by-step instructional DVD that shows you how to use the Sharpmaker to sharpen almost any tool with an edge or point. In addition to the included stones, Spyderco also offers aftermarket stones for the Tri-Angle Sharpmaker, including diamond and CBN (cubic boron nitride) coated stones for rapid steel removal and ultra-fine stones to create hair-popping, highly polished edges.

If you’ve ever struggled to put a sharp edge on your knife or been too intimidated to give sharpening a try, you owe it to yourself to get a Tri-Angle Sharpmaker. Still going strong after nearly 40 years, it’s the one tool that every serious knife user shouldn’t do without.

==Understanding All the Angles==

The term “edge geometry” is one we hear a lot when discussing the cutting performance of knives. Although the geometry of the terminal cutting edge of a blade is certainly important, understanding real cutting performance means looking at “all the angles.”

Edge geometry begins with the grind, thickness, and width of the blade and its bevels. For example, a full-flat-ground blade basically has a triangular cross section, with the spine of the blade being the base of the triangle and the two equal-length flat bevels forming the sides. If the planes of the bevels intersected perfectly at the edge (a “zero-ground” edge) it would be extremely acute and sharp, but very weak. Narrower blades, thicker blades, and shorter bevels would all affect the geometry of the triangle and increase the angle at the edge somewhat, but it would still be somewhat weak.

To give the edge greater strength and make the blade easier to produce, the bevels typically don’t converge completely. Instead, they leave a thicker section of steel near the edge. A narrow secondary bevel is then ground at a steeper angle to create the actual cutting edge. The terminal thickness of the steel adjacent to the cutting edge is also a determining factor in the overall edge geometry of the blade.

A full-flat grind with a thin terminal edge thickness creates a very acute angle near the edge and the long, gradual rise of the bevels. This geometry parts the material being cut with minimal friction and offers excellent cutting performance. It also produces a distal taper that reduces the weight of the blade, but also decreases its strength.

If strength is a concern, a partial flat grind—also known as a saber grind—can be used. With this grind, the flat bevels are shorter and the angle near the edge is slightly steeper. This puts more steel behind the edge, but also forces the secondary bevel of the actual cutting edge to a larger angle as well. This geometry parts material more abruptly and creates greater friction during the cut.

In many ways, a hollow grind offers the best of both worlds. Since its bevels are actually concave, it can produce a very thin terminal edge thickness and support an acute cutting edge angle, while still maintaining a thick spine for strength. Hollow-ground blades can also be sharpened many times before the edge wears into the thicker part of the steel. Flat-ground and saber-ground blades reach that point sooner and ultimately must be sharpened at a more obtuse angle.

So what is the “best” sharpening angle for a knife blade? Well, in addition to understanding the geometry of its grind, you also have to take into consideration the type of steel from which it’s made. At a microscopic level, steel consists of a series of carbide clusters. The smaller these clusters are, the easier they can fit into the apex of a knife’s cutting edge to support an acute edge angle. For this reason, many Spyderco knives with broad, full-flat-ground blades made from steels with fine microstructures can be sharpened at a 30-degree included angle and perform just fine. That same sharpening angle and edge geometry with a coarse-grained steel, however, would be vulnerable to chipping at the edge. The large carbide clusters would literally break out of the edge because the angle is too acute. Such steels are best suited for a more utilitarian 40-degree included angle.

Spyderco takes all of these factors into consideration when we produce our knives to ensure that every blade offers the best possible cutting performance within the scope of its design, blade material, and intended use. When it comes to edge geometry, we really do work all the angles.

==Snapshot - Spyderco Summer Picnic==

This month Spyderco took the time to celebrate our amazing Crew and their families by combining our annual summer picnic with a “Bring Your Kid to Work” day. This all-day event allowed the members of our Crew to share the details of their work with their children. It was also filled with special activities, including assembling plastic knife kits, learning about knife safety, designing ads, mastering BaliYo tricks, and lots of other fun things.

Spyderco’s success is thanks largely to our awesome staff. As you can see from these photos, we thoroughly enjoyed taking a day to celebrate summer with them and their families!

==The C11FWCBK Delica® 4 Lightweight Wharncliffe==

'''MSRP:''' $114.95

'''Origin:''' Japan

Tracing its roots all the way back to 1990, the Delica is one of Spyderco’s most enduring and iconic designs. It helped pioneer the concept of the lightweight, injection-molded knife handle and even today, in its fourth-generation form, continues to set the standard in compact, high-performance, cutting tools.

The Delica’s tremendous popularity has spawned an entire family of variations, as well as Sprint Runs, Exclusives, and other “elite” expressions of the design. Spyderco is now proud to announce the latest addition to this proud family—the Delica 4 Lightweight Wharncliffe.

This unique variant of the Delica 4 was inspired by a request from a member of Spyderco’s Internet forum who is a die-hard fan of the Delica Lightweight model, but, as a warehouse worker, appreciates the cutting performance and edge geometry of common industrial knives and box cutters. The perfectly straight cutting edges of these tools enable them to cut with full power all the way to the point and give them the ability to tackle both detailed tasks and challenging cuts with equal ease. In pocketknife parlance, this style of blade is technically known as a “Wharncliffe”—a pattern with a rich and interesting history that spans nearly two centuries.

The Wharncliffe blade is believed to have taken its name from Colonel James Archibald Stuart-Wortley-Mackenzie, 1st Baron Wharncliffe (October 6, 1776 – December 19, 1845). Lord Wharncliffe, as he was more commonly known, was a British soldier and statesman who had an affinity for pocketknives. He was also well acquainted with Joseph Rodgers and Sons, a noted cutlery company in Sheffield, England's cutlery manufacturing center. As legend has it, Lord Wharncliffe wanted to design a utilitarian blade that was thick and strong, yet still capable of detailed cutting chores. He presented his design to Joseph Rodgers and Sons who embraced the idea and began introducing Wharncliffe-style blades in their folding knives around 1832.

A Wharncliffe blade is characterized by a perfectly straight cutting edge and a spine that tapers to meet that edge at an acute point. Capable of cutting with both scalpel-like precision and power far beyond its size, Wharncliffes are the blades of choice for many savvy knife users who demand maximum performance out of their tools. Spyderco’s new Delica 4 Wharncliffe combines all the advantages of this unique blade style with the proven features of the Delica’s standard lightweight platform. Available in either a PlainEdge™ or fully serrated SpyderEdge™ format, it features a broad VG-10 stainless steel blade with a fully accessible Trademark Round Hole™ that is positioned high on the blade for excellent leverage during one-handed openings. Its full-flat grind gives it incredible edge geometry that, when paired with the Wharncliffe profile, allows it to cut with impressive power all the way to the point.

The blade is paired with the time-tested Delica 4 Lightweight handle design, which includes skeletonized stainless steel liners, injection-molded fiberglass-reinforced-nylon (FRN) scales and backspacer, a sturdy back lock mechanism, and a four-position pocket clip that supports all carry preferences. Spyderco’s Bi-Directional Texturing™ pattern on the scales ensures a secure grip in even the most demanding circumstances, and the knife’s completely symmetrical design makes all aspects of its carry and operation completely ambidextrous.

One of the most potent pocket-sized cutting tools ever produced, the Delica 4 Lightweight Wharncliffe is also a remarkable fusion of one of our best-selling designs and time-honored pocketknife history.

==Edge-U-Cation®: Comparing Knife Steels==

One of the most challenging aspects of being a knife enthusiast is understanding the differences between various blade steels and how those differences actually translate to real-world knife performance. This challenge becomes even more difficult when you consider the fact that collectively Spyderco offers more types of steel in its knives than practically any other production knife company.

Short of earning a degree in metallurgy, how do you understand and quantify the differences between steels? Well, the first step is to compare their alloy composition and learn how those elements affect the properties of the steel. For many years, the Edge-U-Cation materials in Spyderco’s catalog and on our web site have included simple, easy-to-understand explanations of the properties of steel elements. Our ever-growing steel chart has also been the undisputed industry standard in providing a one-stop reference for the alloy compositions of a broad range of blade steels. Unfortunately, as we expand our spectrum of steels, using that chart for side-by-side comparison of steels has become considerably more difficult. To preserve your eyesight and simplify that process, we decided to apply our obsession with Constant Quality Improvement (C.Q.I.) to our steel chart.

The standard version of the Spyderco steel chart ([[https://spyderco.com/pages/steel-chart Standard Steel Chart]]) presents the steels as they are commonly seen—in alphanumeric order. For quick reference of the composition of a single steel, this is still the best tool for the job. However, if you are trying to determine what other steels are comparable to a specific steel, it helps to consider them based on their most important elements—typically carbon and chromium. To make that process easier, we created two additional versions of our steel chart sorted by carbon content and chromium content. To find steels that are similar to a specific blade material, first use the standard alphanumeric chart to find your “base” steel. Once you’ve found it, take note of its carbon content and chromium content. Then, go to our carbon-sorted steel chart (Carbon Sorted Steel Chart) and look down the carbon content column until you find the carbon value of your base steel. The other steels above and below it with similar or identical carbon contents will give you an idea of comparable blade materials. The fact that they are grouped together also makes it easier to compare the proportions of their other alloys.

This same basic process can be used to compare steels—especially stainless steels—by their chromium content using our chromium-sorted steel chart (Chromium Sorted Steel Chart).

Although these tools definitely make comparing blade steels easier, we decided to go one better by creating a special steel comparison tool on the Spyderco web site (Steel Comparison Tool). To use the tool, simply click on the steels you want to compare (up to five at a time) and then click the “compare” box. A custom chart will pop up displaying the steels and their respective alloy compositions side by side for easy comparison. If you “hover” your cursor over any of the steel elements in the left column, an explanation of the properties of that element pops up for easy reference.

Understanding and comparing blade steels is definitely challenging, but knowing “what a steel is made of” is always the first step. Spyderco’s innovative Edge-U-Cation tools now make that process easier than ever before.

==Insider: The Spyderco Factory Outlet==

Spyderco’s Golden, Colorado headquarters is remarkable in many ways. It is the nerve center of all our research and development, sales, marketing, quality control, and distribution efforts, as well as the home of our ever-expanding U.S. manufacturing facility. In addition to all that, our Golden headquarters houses the Spyderco Factory Outlet store.

Affectionately known as “SFO,” our factory outlet is much more than the typical gift shop attached to most factories. It is also much more than a simple retail store. For knife enthusiasts, Spyderco fans, and history buffs, SFO is a destination, a pilgrimage site, and a “bucket list” item. Die-hard knife lovers have literally traveled thousands of miles to visit SFO and make their personal “Spyderco experience” complete.

In simple terms, SFO is in fact a retail store featuring the most complete selection of current-production Spyderco and byrd® knives, sharpeners, and other accessories on Earth. Every model and variation is faithfully represented and backed by our expert sales staff, whose product knowledge is second to none in the knife industry. The countless thousands of retail orders placed directly through Spyderco’s web site are also processed through SFO and fulfilled by its staff.

In addition to our own Spyderco, byrd, and BaliYo brands, SFO also offers a hand-picked selection of other high-quality products, including Fisher Space Pens, Boos cutting boards, Streamlight and Olight flashlights, and many more. It is also an authorized dealer of legendary Randall Made Knives and proudly maintains one of the largest (if not the largest) retail selections of ready-to-buy Randall Knives west of the Mississippi.

SFO is also a museum that provides insights into Spyderco’s rich 40-year history. Mixed among the showcases of knives for sale are historical displays containing rare, discontinued models that shaped the company’s history and the modern cutlery industry. Patches, challenge coins, flags, certificates, and letters of appreciation from the many duty-bound personnel who trust their lives to Spyderco knives are also proudly on display. The most humbling exhibit, however, is our permanent display of steel girders from Tower 1 of the World Trade Center, recovered from the debris of the tragic attacks of September 11, 2001. It stands as a silent tribute to the lives lost that day, and a constant, compelling symbol of the indomitable strength of the American spirit.

Like Spyderco itself, there is more to SFO than meets the eye. The closer you look, the more you’ll see—and the happier you’ll be that you took the time to visit.

==SHOT Show 2017==
January was an incredibly busy month for the Spyderco Crew. Our primary focus was the Shooting, Hunting, and Outdoor Trade (SHOT) Show in Las Vegas. Held from January 17-20 at the Sands Expo Center, it is the largest gathering of manufacturers, distributors, dealers, media, and professional end-line users in the outdoor industry. This year boasted the second largest attendance in the show’s history, with nearly 65,000 attendees and more than 1,600 exhibiting companies.

Spyderco’s presence at the show included two booths, both of which were extremely popular go-to destinations. At our main booth, our sales and media relations staff shared our many new products with established dealers and members of the media, while the company’s founders and a select team of custom collaborators showed off prototypes and concept models of upcoming products. The staff at our OpFocus booth shared our “tactical side” with select dealers, media members, tactical trainers, and duty-bound professionals.

The Spyderco Crew was delighted to connect with everyone who visited us at the show and we greatly appreciate your continued interest in us and our products. Based on our non-stop, all-out experience at SHOT, 2017 is going to be an amazing year!

'''C229 Shaman'''

"''Drawing inspiration from our iconic Native® folding knife, the Shaman offers the same advanced ergonomics and proven design dynamics in a larger, even more capable format. The soul of this impressive design is its CPM® S30V® stainless steel blade, which features a full-flat grind for outstanding edge geometry and an acute, utilitarian point. A fully accessible Trademark Round Hole™ proudly announces its Spyderco lineage and ensures swift, reliable, one-handed opening with either hand.''

''The stonewash-finished blade is housed in an exceptionally refined, ergonomic handle built with nested skeletonized stainless steel liners and contoured matte-finished G-10 scales. This robust construction forms the foundation of the knife’s high-strength Compression Lock™ mechanism, which locks the blade securely open and allows safe, easy one-handed closing.''

''To ensure convenient carry and immediate access, a stonewashed four-position pocket clip offers left or right-side, tip-up or tip-down carry. Available with either a PlainEdge™ or fully serrated SpyderEdge™ blade, the Shaman offers powerful cutting magic in a stylish, user-friendly format.''"

The C229 Shaman in [https://www.spyderco.com/catalog/details/C229G/1080 Spyderco's online catalog].

==Variations==

The C229 Shaman is made in Golden, CO and has
* [[Compression Lock]]
* Nested, skeltonized [[Stainless Steel]] liners
* Lanyard hole
* Subtle spine swedge

==Information from the Spyderco catalog on the web==

'''C230 Lil' Native (compression lock)'''

"''The iconic Native® has been a mainstay of Spyderco’s American-made product line for decades. Now all the highly evolved performance features of this incredibly popular design have been distilled into a compact gentlemen’s folder with a 2.5-inch blade. Its full-flat-ground CPM S30V stainless steel blade includes a prominent index-finger choil that flows seamlessly into the contours of the textured G-10 handle scales. The result is a compact, ergonomic package that still offers a full, four-fingered grip and excellent control. This version of the Lil’ Native goes a step further by adding our high-strength Compression Lock mechanism and a low-profile deep-pocket wire clip that is reversible for left or right-side tip-up carry.''"

The C230 Lil' Native in [https://www.spyderco.com/catalog/details/C230G/1093 Spyderco's online catalog].

'''C230 Lil' Native Mid Back Lock'''

"''The Lil’ Native Mid Back Lock takes the highly refined ergonomics of the best-selling Native® 5 and scales them down into an even handier, more compact package. In form, it is practically identical to its inspiration, but approximately 15 percent smaller overall. However, thanks to its ergonomic design and index-finger choil, it still provides a generous four-finger grip that allows it to perform with the authority of a full-sized knife.''

''This knife’s blade is precision machined from CPM® S30V® particle metallurgy stainless steel and is available with a choice of a PlainEdge™ or fully serrated SpyderEdge™. Full-flat ground for exceptional edge geometry, the matte-finished blade also features a fully accessible Trademark Round Hole™ that allows quick, positive, one-handed opening with either hand.''

''The blade is housed in a slim, linerless handle that includes textured G-10 scales, a stainless steel backspacer, and a broad-based four-position pocket clip with lanyard hole. Completely symmetrical in every way, this expression of the Lil’ Native design offers fully ambidextrous carry and operation and is ideal for both left and right-handed users.''"

The C230 Lil' Native Mid Back Lock in [https://www.spyderco.com/catalog/details/RG01/1858 Spyderco's online catalog].

==Variations==

The C230 Lil' Native is made in Golden, CO and features a [[Leaf Shaped Blade]].

==Information from the Spyderco catalog on the web==

'''C101 Manix:'''

"''The recipe for success: Start with an exceptionally strong lock, manufacture using precise tolerances and add a blade honed from exotic high-carbon stainless steel. The conclusion is the Manix 83mm. The C101 is an assembly of small seemingly inconsequential features that added together result in one of the strongest knives from Spyderco to date. Outstanding ergonomics are the result of the positioning between the fore-finger choil and the backlock and the relationship between the blade’s weight, the lock’s shape and the spring’s shape. These little things result in the smoothest possible opening/closing and reliable and comfortable cutting. Nested in the handle are skeletonized dual steel liners increasing rigidity and strength without the burden of unneeded weight. The blade is made from Crucible’s CPM-S30V steel and comes double flat-ground with aggressive thumb serrations (jimping) above the enlarged 14mm Spyderco Round Hole. Jimping keeps the thumb in safe and controlled contact with the blade’s spine. A three-screw pocket clip adjusts for ambidextrously carry, tip-up or tip-down.''"

The C101 Manix 80mm in [http://www.spyderco.com/catalog/details.php?product=212 Spyderco's online catalog]

'''C101 Manix 2:'''

"''The Manix 2 is a dependable, all-purpose folding knife that showcases Spyderco’s Made-in-USA quality and patented Ball Bearing Lock™. Its broad blade is precision machined from Crucible’s premium CPM® S30V® particle metallurgy stainless steel and features a full-flat grind for an exceptional balance of edge geometry and strength. Matching areas of jimping (textured grooves) on the thumb ramp and the index-finger choil complement the handle’s refined ergonomics to offer an amazingly secure, comfortable grip.''

''Constructed with full stainless steel liners, a stainless steel back spacer, and textured black G-10 scales, the Manix 2’s handle is home to a high-strength Ball Bearing Lock mechanism. One of our strongest, smoothest operating lock mechanisms, it consists of a hardened steel ball bearing encased in a polymer cage. When the knife is opened, a spring plunger drives the ball bearing forward onto a ramp on the blade, wedging it securely open. Pulling back on the cage releases the lock and allows the blade to pivot smoothly closed. Both opening and closing are easily performed with either hand and without ever placing your fingers near the blade’s edge.''

''To ensure instant access and ease of carry, the Manix 2 includes a reversible hourglass clip that supports left or right-side tip-up carry. It complements the blade’s Trademark Round Hole and lock mechanism to make every aspect of the knife’s carry, deployment, and operation completely ambidextrous.''"

The C101 Manix 2 in [https://www.spyderco.com/catalog/details/C101G2/418 Spyderco's online catalog]

'''C101 Manix 2 lightweight:'''

"''The original Manix 2 Lightweight was the Winner of Blade magazine’s coveted Most Innovative American Design award. It combined the full-service cutting performance of the popular Manix 2 with a revolutionary lightweight handle molded from tough FRCP (fiberglass reinforced co-polymer). This version of the Manix 2 Lightweight is identical to that award-winning knife, with the exception of its handle color.''

''Weighing in at a scant three ounces, the Manix 2 Black Lightweight features a full-flat-ground CTS® BD1 stainless steel blade with Spyderco’s signature Trademark Round Hole™ for easy, ambidextrous, one-handed opening. The blade is supported by a high-strength Ball Bearing Lock™ housed within a precision-machined steel insert in the handle. The durable FRCP handle includes a molded Bi-Directional Texture™ pattern to ensure a secure grip in even the most demanding environments. A reversible wire clip provides left or right-side tip-up carry and makes the operation and carry of this knife completely ambidextrous.''

==Information from the Spyderco catalog on the web==

'''C101 Manix:'''

"''The recipe for success: Start with an exceptionally strong lock, manufacture using precise tolerances and add a blade honed from exotic high-carbon stainless steel. The conclusion is the Manix 83mm. The C101 is an assembly of small seemingly inconsequential features that added together result in one of the strongest knives from Spyderco to date. Outstanding ergonomics are the result of the positioning between the fore-finger choil and the backlock and the relationship between the blade’s weight, the lock’s shape and the spring’s shape. These little things result in the smoothest possible opening/closing and reliable and comfortable cutting. Nested in the handle are skeletonized dual steel liners increasing rigidity and strength without the burden of unneeded weight. The blade is made from Crucible’s CPM-S30V steel and comes double flat-ground with aggressive thumb serrations (jimping) above the enlarged 14mm Spyderco Round Hole. Jimping keeps the thumb in safe and controlled contact with the blade’s spine. A three-screw pocket clip adjusts for ambidextrously carry, tip-up or tip-down.''"

The C101 Manix 80mm in [http://www.spyderco.com/catalog/details.php?product=212 Spyderco's online catalog]

'''C101 Manix 2:'''

"''The Manix 2 is a dependable, all-purpose folding knife that showcases Spyderco’s Made-in-USA quality and patented Ball Bearing Lock™. Its broad blade is precision machined from Crucible’s premium CPM® S30V® particle metallurgy stainless steel and features a full-flat grind for an exceptional balance of edge geometry and strength. Matching areas of jimping (textured grooves) on the thumb ramp and the index-finger choil complement the handle’s refined ergonomics to offer an amazingly secure, comfortable grip.''

''Constructed with full stainless steel liners, a stainless steel back spacer, and textured black G-10 scales, the Manix 2’s handle is home to a high-strength Ball Bearing Lock mechanism. One of our strongest, smoothest operating lock mechanisms, it consists of a hardened steel ball bearing encased in a polymer cage. When the knife is opened, a spring plunger drives the ball bearing forward onto a ramp on the blade, wedging it securely open. Pulling back on the cage releases the lock and allows the blade to pivot smoothly closed. Both opening and closing are easily performed with either hand and without ever placing your fingers near the blade’s edge.''

''To ensure instant access and ease of carry, the Manix 2 includes a reversible hourglass clip that supports left or right-side tip-up carry. It complements the blade’s Trademark Round Hole and lock mechanism to make every aspect of the knife’s carry, deployment, and operation completely ambidextrous.''"

The C101 Manix 2 in [https://www.spyderco.com/catalog/details/C101G2/418 Spyderco's online catalog]

'''C101 Manix 2 lightweight:'''

"''The original Manix 2 Lightweight was the Winner of Blade magazine’s coveted Most Innovative American Design award. It combined the full-service cutting performance of the popular Manix 2 with a revolutionary lightweight handle molded from tough FRCP (fiberglass reinforced co-polymer). This version of the Manix 2 Lightweight is identical to that award-winning knife, with the exception of its handle color.''

''Weighing in at a scant three ounces, the Manix 2 Black Lightweight features a full-flat-ground CTS® BD1 stainless steel blade with Spyderco’s signature Trademark Round Hole™ for easy, ambidextrous, one-handed opening. The blade is supported by a high-strength Ball Bearing Lock™ housed within a precision-machined steel insert in the handle. The durable FRCP handle includes a molded Bi-Directional Texture™ pattern to ensure a secure grip in even the most demanding environments. A reversible wire clip provides left or right-side tip-up carry and makes the operation and carry of this knife completely ambidextrous.''

==Information from the Spyderco catalog on the web==

'''C101 Manix:'''

"''The recipe for success: Start with an exceptionally strong lock, manufacture using precise tolerances and add a blade honed from exotic high-carbon stainless steel. The conclusion is the Manix 83mm. The C101 is an assembly of small seemingly inconsequential features that added together result in one of the strongest knives from Spyderco to date. Outstanding ergonomics are the result of the positioning between the fore-finger choil and the backlock and the relationship between the blade’s weight, the lock’s shape and the spring’s shape. These little things result in the smoothest possible opening/closing and reliable and comfortable cutting. Nested in the handle are skeletonized dual steel liners increasing rigidity and strength without the burden of unneeded weight. The blade is made from Crucible’s CPM-S30V steel and comes double flat-ground with aggressive thumb serrations (jimping) above the enlarged 14mm Spyderco Round Hole. Jimping keeps the thumb in safe and controlled contact with the blade’s spine. A three-screw pocket clip adjusts for ambidextrously carry, tip-up or tip-down.''"

The C101 Manix 80mm in [http://www.spyderco.com/catalog/details.php?product=212 Spyderco's online catalog]

'''C101 Manix 2:'''

"''The Manix 2 is a dependable, all-purpose folding knife that showcases Spyderco’s Made-in-USA quality and patented Ball Bearing Lock™. Its broad blade is precision machined from Crucible’s premium CPM® S30V® particle metallurgy stainless steel and features a full-flat grind for an exceptional balance of edge geometry and strength. Matching areas of jimping (textured grooves) on the thumb ramp and the index-finger choil complement the handle’s refined ergonomics to offer an amazingly secure, comfortable grip.''

''Constructed with full stainless steel liners, a stainless steel back spacer, and textured black G-10 scales, the Manix 2’s handle is home to a high-strength Ball Bearing Lock mechanism. One of our strongest, smoothest operating lock mechanisms, it consists of a hardened steel ball bearing encased in a polymer cage. When the knife is opened, a spring plunger drives the ball bearing forward onto a ramp on the blade, wedging it securely open. Pulling back on the cage releases the lock and allows the blade to pivot smoothly closed. Both opening and closing are easily performed with either hand and without ever placing your fingers near the blade’s edge.''

''To ensure instant access and ease of carry, the Manix 2 includes a reversible hourglass clip that supports left or right-side tip-up carry. It complements the blade’s Trademark Round Hole and lock mechanism to make every aspect of the knife’s carry, deployment, and operation completely ambidextrous.''"

The C101 Manix 2 in [https://www.spyderco.com/catalog/details/C101G2/418 Spyderco's online catalog]

'''C101 Manix 2 lightweight:'''

"''The original Manix 2 Lightweight was the Winner of Blade magazine’s coveted Most Innovative American Design award. It combined the full-service cutting performance of the popular Manix 2 with a revolutionary lightweight handle molded from tough FRCP (fiberglass reinforced co-polymer). This version of the Manix 2 Lightweight is identical to that award-winning knife, with the exception of its handle color.''

''Weighing in at a scant three ounces, the Manix 2 Black Lightweight features a full-flat-ground CTS® BD1 stainless steel blade with Spyderco’s signature Trademark Round Hole™ for easy, ambidextrous, one-handed opening. The blade is supported by a high-strength Ball Bearing Lock™ housed within a precision-machined steel insert in the handle. The durable FRCP handle includes a molded Bi-Directional Texture™ pattern to ensure a secure grip in even the most demanding environments. A reversible wire clip provides left or right-side tip-up carry and makes the operation and carry of this knife completely ambidextrous.''

==Information from the Spyderco catalog on the web==

'''C101 Manix:'''

"''The recipe for success: Start with an exceptionally strong lock, manufacture using precise tolerances and add a blade honed from exotic high-carbon stainless steel. The conclusion is the Manix 83mm. The C101 is an assembly of small seemingly inconsequential features that added together result in one of the strongest knives from Spyderco to date. Outstanding ergonomics are the result of the positioning between the fore-finger choil and the backlock and the relationship between the blade’s weight, the lock’s shape and the spring’s shape. These little things result in the smoothest possible opening/closing and reliable and comfortable cutting. Nested in the handle are skeletonized dual steel liners increasing rigidity and strength without the burden of unneeded weight. The blade is made from Crucible’s CPM-S30V steel and comes double flat-ground with aggressive thumb serrations (jimping) above the enlarged 14mm Spyderco Round Hole. Jimping keeps the thumb in safe and controlled contact with the blade’s spine. A three-screw pocket clip adjusts for ambidextrously carry, tip-up or tip-down.''"

The C101 Manix 80mm in [http://www.spyderco.com/catalog/details.php?product=212 Spyderco's online catalog]

'''C101 Manix 2:'''

"''The Manix 2 is a dependable, all-purpose folding knife that showcases Spyderco’s Made-in-USA quality and patented Ball Bearing Lock™. Its broad blade is precision machined from Crucible’s premium CPM® S30V® particle metallurgy stainless steel and features a full-flat grind for an exceptional balance of edge geometry and strength. Matching areas of jimping (textured grooves) on the thumb ramp and the index-finger choil complement the handle’s refined ergonomics to offer an amazingly secure, comfortable grip.''

''Constructed with full stainless steel liners, a stainless steel back spacer, and textured black G-10 scales, the Manix 2’s handle is home to a high-strength Ball Bearing Lock mechanism. One of our strongest, smoothest operating lock mechanisms, it consists of a hardened steel ball bearing encased in a polymer cage. When the knife is opened, a spring plunger drives the ball bearing forward onto a ramp on the blade, wedging it securely open. Pulling back on the cage releases the lock and allows the blade to pivot smoothly closed. Both opening and closing are easily performed with either hand and without ever placing your fingers near the blade’s edge.''

''To ensure instant access and ease of carry, the Manix 2 includes a reversible hourglass clip that supports left or right-side tip-up carry. It complements the blade’s Trademark Round Hole and lock mechanism to make every aspect of the knife’s carry, deployment, and operation completely ambidextrous.''"

The C101 Manix 2 in [https://www.spyderco.com/catalog/details/C101G2/418 Spyderco's online catalog]

'''C101 Manix 2 lightweight:'''

"''The original Manix 2 Lightweight was the Winner of Blade magazine’s coveted Most Innovative American Design award. It combined the full-service cutting performance of the popular Manix 2 with a revolutionary lightweight handle molded from tough FRCP (fiberglass reinforced co-polymer). This version of the Manix 2 Lightweight is identical to that award-winning knife, with the exception of its handle color.''

''Weighing in at a scant three ounces, the Manix 2 Black Lightweight features a full-flat-ground CTS® BD1 stainless steel blade with Spyderco’s signature Trademark Round Hole™ for easy, ambidextrous, one-handed opening. The blade is supported by a high-strength Ball Bearing Lock™ housed within a precision-machined steel insert in the handle. The durable FRCP handle includes a molded Bi-Directional Texture™ pattern to ensure a secure grip in even the most demanding environments. A reversible wire clip provides left or right-side tip-up carry and makes the operation and carry of this knife completely ambidextrous.''

==Information from the Spyderco catalog on the web==

'''C101 Manix:'''

"''The recipe for success: Start with an exceptionally strong lock, manufacture using precise tolerances and add a blade honed from exotic high-carbon stainless steel. The conclusion is the Manix 83mm. The C101 is an assembly of small seemingly inconsequential features that added together result in one of the strongest knives from Spyderco to date. Outstanding ergonomics are the result of the positioning between the fore-finger choil and the backlock and the relationship between the blade’s weight, the lock’s shape and the spring’s shape. These little things result in the smoothest possible opening/closing and reliable and comfortable cutting. Nested in the handle are skeletonized dual steel liners increasing rigidity and strength without the burden of unneeded weight. The blade is made from Crucible’s CPM-S30V steel and comes double flat-ground with aggressive thumb serrations (jimping) above the enlarged 14mm Spyderco Round Hole. Jimping keeps the thumb in safe and controlled contact with the blade’s spine. A three-screw pocket clip adjusts for ambidextrously carry, tip-up or tip-down.''"

The C101 Manix 80mm in [http://www.spyderco.com/catalog/details.php?product=212 Spyderco's online catalog]

'''C101 Manix 2:'''

"''The Manix 2 is a dependable, all-purpose folding knife that showcases Spyderco’s Made-in-USA quality and patented Ball Bearing Lock™. Its broad blade is precision machined from Crucible’s premium CPM® S30V® particle metallurgy stainless steel and features a full-flat grind for an exceptional balance of edge geometry and strength. Matching areas of jimping (textured grooves) on the thumb ramp and the index-finger choil complement the handle’s refined ergonomics to offer an amazingly secure, comfortable grip.''

''Constructed with full stainless steel liners, a stainless steel back spacer, and textured black G-10 scales, the Manix 2’s handle is home to a high-strength Ball Bearing Lock mechanism. One of our strongest, smoothest operating lock mechanisms, it consists of a hardened steel ball bearing encased in a polymer cage. When the knife is opened, a spring plunger drives the ball bearing forward onto a ramp on the blade, wedging it securely open. Pulling back on the cage releases the lock and allows the blade to pivot smoothly closed. Both opening and closing are easily performed with either hand and without ever placing your fingers near the blade’s edge.''

''To ensure instant access and ease of carry, the Manix 2 includes a reversible hourglass clip that supports left or right-side tip-up carry. It complements the blade’s Trademark Round Hole and lock mechanism to make every aspect of the knife’s carry, deployment, and operation completely ambidextrous.''"

The C101 Manix 2 in [https://www.spyderco.com/catalog/details/C101G2/418 Spyderco's online catalog]

'''C101 Manix 2 lightweight:'''

"''The original Manix 2 Lightweight was the Winner of Blade magazine’s coveted Most Innovative American Design award. It combined the full-service cutting performance of the popular Manix 2 with a revolutionary lightweight handle molded from tough FRCP (fiberglass reinforced co-polymer). This version of the Manix 2 Lightweight is identical to that award-winning knife, with the exception of its handle color.''

''Weighing in at a scant three ounces, the Manix 2 Black Lightweight features a full-flat-ground CTS® BD1 stainless steel blade with Spyderco’s signature Trademark Round Hole™ for easy, ambidextrous, one-handed opening. The blade is supported by a high-strength Ball Bearing Lock™ housed within a precision-machined steel insert in the handle. The durable FRCP handle includes a molded Bi-Directional Texture™ pattern to ensure a secure grip in even the most demanding environments. A reversible wire clip provides left or right-side tip-up carry and makes the operation and carry of this knife completely ambidextrous.''

==Information from the Spyderco catalog on the web==

C123CFP [[Walker Liner Lock]]:

"''A Sage is someone wise in judgment and experience. It’s reasonable assuming they achieved that title through trial, error and extending their best effort at every opportunity. If that definition can be applied to something tangible it would be an item created from experience and striving for quality and performance at the highest level. If said item were a pocketknife we could call it a Sage.''

''The C123 Sage represents Spyderco’s 30-year pledge to knife crafting and learning to make better knives at every available opportunity. The plan is to offer an ongoing series of Sage Folders with many of the different and ingenuous locking devices and mechanisms the knife industry has to offer.''

''This model is in recognition of knifemaker Michael Walker’s contribution to the knife industry with his creation of the LinerLock® and ball bearing detent method of locking open a folding knife. While the knife is made in Taiwan, the flat-ground blade is produced with USA made CPM-S30V. It is paired with a twill-woven carbon fiber handle and LinerLock. Categorized as a mid-sized folder, the blade is flat-ground and PlainEdged. Designed for comfort and in-the-hand-ergonomics, the carbon fiber handle is vibrant with multi-colored fibers bonded together when manufacturing the carbon fiber. The weaving runs deep, making ridges and textures for the palm to adhere to while gripping and cutting. A silhouette wire pocket clip adjusts for left- or right-hand carry.''"<ref name="current catalog">The C123 Sage Walker Liner Lock in [http://www.spyderco.com/catalog/details.php?product=332 Spyderco's online catalog]</ref>

==Variations==

The C123 Sage is made in Taiwan.

===Questions regarding collecting the C123===

Some interesting questions we are looking for an answer to:

Questions with an answer:

'''Q:''' Why is the Sage 2 the only [[Variant]] in the Collector's club?

'''A:''' The CF Sage 1 was the first Sage, and therefore the [[Main]] model. When the next Sage (the Ti Sage 2) came out in early 2009, it was a variant of the Sage lineup. Later that year, the collector's club was reorganized. As part of this reorganization, it was decided that the each new Sage release would be considered as a [[Main]] model and would not have a "V" after the collector's number. The rest of the Sages were released after this change, so that is why only the Ti Sage 2 has a "V" after the number. (note: with the release of the CF Sage 3, a true variant of the bolt-lock design version, the Sage series now has two variants. I'd expect that any new lock implementations would continue to receive the "Main" designation while any changes to handle material within each lock design would constitute a "Variant" designation.)

'''FB54 Yurco Ginunting'''

''Mickey Yurco is a retired law enforcement officer, a veteran SWAT team member, and a lifelong martial artist with black belts in three different systems. He is also an accomplished custom knifemaker with more than four decades of experience. His first collaboration with Spyderco draws upon all his unique talents to yield a dramatic expression of the Filipino ginunting. Derived from the word gunting (scissors) because of its Wharncliffe-style tip, the ginunting is a traditional Filipino sword popular in the Visayan region of the southern Philippines. Its unique concave profile gives it exceptional leverage and cutting power, while keeping its point naturally oriented for powerful thrusting tactics. The Yurco Ginunting faithfully translates these dynamic qualities into a more compact modern rendition crafted from 9Cr18MoV stainless steel. Its full-flat ground blade offers a superior balance of edge geometry and strength and is accentuated by a harpoon-style swedge that ensures a strong but acute point. The knife’s full-tang handle features contoured, polished G-10 scales secured by eight sets of stainless steel Torx® fasteners. It also includes an integral lower guard, a generously sized lined lanyard hole, and a flared fantail butt for a positive grip during high-speed manipulation. A stunning modern interpretation of a classic cultural pattern, the Yurco Ginunting comes complete with a custom-molded Boltaron® sheath with a belt mount.''<ref name="current catalog">The FB54 Yurco Ginunting in [https://spyderco.com/products/skoli%E2%84%A2 Spyderco's online catalog, accessed 10 June 2026]</ref>

Spyderco byte - December 2016

2026-06-10T15:10:21Z

ThatWouter: /* Holiday Hours */

The Spyderco bye December 2016 e-newsletter was sent out on 29 December 2016, and it contained the following articles.

==The C223GP Para 3==

'''MSRP:''' $199.95

'''Wholesale:''' $99.95

'''MAP:''' $119.97

'''Origin:''' USA

Easily one of the most anticipated products in Spyderco’s history, the Para 3 is the latest generation of our immensely popular Para Military family of folding knives. It traces its history all the way back to the first-generation Para Military™ model, which was introduced in 2004 and even further to that knife’s inspiration: the iconic Military™ Model.

The original design intent of the Para Military was to provide the same proven reliability and cutting performance of the Military, but in a more compact, easy-to-carry package. The design also showcased Spyderco’s patented Compression Lock™—a high-strength lock mechanism housed in the spine of the handle that offered a number of significant advantages over the Military’s LinerLock.

In keeping with Spyderco’s deep commitment to Constant Quality Improvement (C.Q.I.), in 2010 the Para Military was redesigned to yield the Para Military 2. This second-generation design incorporated an improved lock detent, refined ergonomics, countersunk handle and pivot screws, and a four-position clip that supports all possible carry configurations. These enhancements quickly established the “Para 2” as one of Spyderco’s most popular and in-demand models and, to many end users, the “perfect” folding knife. While it was significantly smaller than the Military Model that inspired it, for some customers it was still larger than what they could comfortably or legally carry. Based on that feedback, we went back to the drawing board once again to distill all the features, benefits, and performance of the Para Military 2 into a “sub-compact” package built around a three-inch blade. The result is the Para 3.

Although clearly based on the Para Military 2, the Para 3 was not named the “Para Military 3” because its smaller size qualifies it as a different knife design. Similarly, the “3” in its name actually reflects its three-inch blade length rather than identifying it as a third-generation of the Para Military design. While its pedigree is unmistakable, the Para 3 (and its model and SKU number) has its own distinct “identity” as a Spyderco product.

With that said, the Para 3 does faithfully retain all the defining features of the best-selling Para Military 2, but in a smaller, even handier package. Its three-inch blade is precision machined from premium CPM® S30V® particle metallurgy stainless steel and features a full-flat grind for superior edge geometry and low-friction cutting performance. Its oversized Trademark Round Hole™ proudly announces the knife’s pedigree and is easily accessible from either side to allow swift, ambidextrous, one-handed opening.

The lightweight, open-backed handle is built on a framework of stout stainless steel liners nested within textured G-10 scales. This refined construction style maximizes both structural strength and ergonomics while keeping the handle slim and pocket friendly. It’s also the foundation of the knife’s patented Compression Lock™ mechanism, which provides exceptional lock strength, yet allows easy one-handed closing without placing your fingers in the path of the blade’s edge. A streamlined four-position hourglass clip and a generously sized lanyard hole round out the design, offering a choice of left or right-side tip-up or tip-down carry and allowing the easy attachment of lanyards or fobs.

The Para 3 is a remarkably refined folding knife with a distinguished history. It’s also a shining example of our tireless quest for perfection and our deep commitment to meeting our customers’ needs.

==Edge-U-Cation: Understanding Serrations==

Serrations can greatly enhance the cutting power of a knife’s edge, especially when that power is applied to materials like rope, cord, webbing, and other fibrous materials. A serrated edge is also the tool of choice for many kitchen and cooking chores, including slicing bread. But despite the obvious utility of serrations, a surprising number of knife users shy away from them because they believe they are difficult to sharpen. That’s simply not the case—especially when you understand Spyderco’s serrations and our sharpening tools.

First, let’s explore why serrations cut so aggressively. In simplest terms, a serrated edge offers more edge length than a plain edge. If you took two identical blades—one with a plain edge and one with a serrated edge—and imagined “stretching” the serrated edge until all its teeth, angles, and recesses were perfectly straight, it would be significantly longer than the edge of the plain-edged blade.

Serrated edges also make contact with the material being cut at many different angles, constantly establishing new cutting angles and pressures. This interrupted cutting dynamic also allows the serrations to contour to the surface shape of the material being cut, further increasing their effectiveness.

One of Spyderco’s most significant contributions to the cutlery industry was the introduction of serrated cutting edges on folding knives. During Spyderco’s early history, its founders sold knife sharpeners and other brands of kitchen knives as “pitchmen” at fairs and trade shows across the country. That experience taught them a lot about what sharpness and cutting performance are really all about and gave them an exceptional insight into the advantages of serrated edges.

Subsequently, Spyderco invested significant time, energy, and resources into the research and development of serrated edges. By understanding how serrated edges cut, we learned how to optimize their performance and ultimately developed our own high-performance serration pattern—the SpyderEdge™.

To really understand serrated edges, it’s important to realize that all cutting edges are in fact serrated edges. Even the finest, most highly polished edge consists of thousands of microscopic teeth generated by the abrasive material used to create it. Cutting with a PlainEdge™ blade is therefore very much like cutting with a microscopic saw.

A serrated edge takes this same concept and scales it up, providing greater and more purposeful control over the shape, size, and angle of the edge’s teeth. Spyderco’s highly refined SpyderEdge pattern, which consists of an alternating series of one large groove and two smaller ones, is based on years of relentless research, development, and product testing. Each groove is separated by a highly defined, acutely pointed tooth and the terminal cutting edge runs continuously along all the recesses of the grooves. This scientifically perfected pattern offers 24% more total cutting edge than a plain edged blade of the same length. The acute points of each tooth create focused penetration points that initiate the cutting action, while the concave edges in each groove offer an infinite number of cutting angles that automatically contour to the material being cut. The result is a dynamic fusion of highly aggressive cutting mechanics that is extremely effective, especially on hard-to-cut fibrous materials like rope and webbing.

The serration pattern on our SpyderEdge kitchen knives is even further refined by making the points of the serrations longer. This allows them to contact the surface of a cutting board while raising the rest of the cutting edge above it, preserving the edge and allowing it to cut significantly longer without dulling.

Right out of the box, our SpyderEdge knives cut with a vengeance and stay sharper longer than traditional PlainEdge blades. But, like all knives, with enough use they will ultimately start to dull. So how do you get them sharp again? The easiest way is with our Tri-Angle Sharpmaker®, a complete sharpening system that uses triangular ceramic rods with rounded edges as the sharpening abrasive. Contrary to popular belief, it’s not necessary to individually sharpen each serration scallop. Instead, use the Sharpmaker in the conventional manner—by holding the plane of the blade vertical and drawing the edge from heel to tip along each stone. The only difference is that you should use a looser grip and go a little slower to allow the edge of the stone to “flow” down into the recesses of each scallop. Also, since the serrations are only ground on one side of the blade, make three passes on the “bevel” side of the serration and one pass on the “back” side to remove the burr. Continue this process, alternating three strokes on the bevel side to one on the back side, until the desired sharpness is achieved.

Serrations can supercharge the cutting power of a blade and are ideal for many cutting chores. Now that you understand them—and know how easy is to sharpen them—there’s no reason NOT to include them in your selection of cutting tools.

Based on that feedback, we went back to the drawing board once again to distill all the features, benefits, and performance of the Para Military 2 into a “sub-compact” package built around a three-inch blade. The result is the Para 3.

Although clearly based on the Para Military 2, the Para 3 was not named the “Para Military 3” because its smaller size qualifies it as a different knife design. Similarly, the “3” in its name actually reflects its three-inch blade length rather than identifying it as a third-generation of the Para Military design. While its pedigree is unmistakable, the Para 3 (and its model and SKU number) has its own distinct “identity” as a Spyderco product.

With that said, the Para 3 does faithfully retain all the defining features of the best-selling Para Military 2, but in a smaller, even handier package. Its three-inch blade is precision machined from premium CPM® S30V® particle metallurgy stainless steel and features a full-flat grind for superior edge geometry and low-friction cutting performance. Its oversized Trademark Round Hole™ proudly announces the knife’s pedigree and is easily accessible from either side to allow swift, ambidextrous, one-handed opening.

The lightweight, open-backed handle is built on a framework of stout stainless steel liners nested within textured G-10 scales. This refined construction style maximizes both structural strength and ergonomics while keeping the handle slim and pocket friendly. It’s also the foundation of the knife’s patented Compression Lock™ mechanism, which provides exceptional lock strength, yet allows easy one-handed closing without placing your fingers in the path of the blade’s edge. A streamlined four-position hourglass clip and a generously sized lanyard hole round out the design, offering a choice of left or right-side tip-up or tip-down carry and allowing the easy attachment of lanyards or fobs.

The Para 3 is a remarkably refined folding knife with a distinguished history. It’s also a shining example of our tireless quest for perfection and our deep commitment to meeting our customers’ needs.

==Edge-U-Cation: Understanding Serrations==

Serrations can greatly enhance the cutting power of a knife’s edge, especially when that power is applied to materials like rope, cord, webbing, and other fibrous materials. A serrated edge is also the tool of choice for many kitchen and cooking chores, including slicing bread. But despite the obvious utility of serrations, a surprising number of knife users shy away from them because they believe they are difficult to sharpen. That’s simply not the case—especially when you understand Spyderco’s serrations and our sharpening tools.

First, let’s explore why serrations cut so aggressively. In simplest terms, a serrated edge offers more edge length than a plain edge. If you took two identical blades—one with a plain edge and one with a serrated edge—and imagined “stretching” the serrated edge until all its teeth, angles, and recesses were perfectly straight, it would be significantly longer than the edge of the plain-edged blade.

Serrated edges also make contact with the material being cut at many different angles, constantly establishing new cutting angles and pressures. This interrupted cutting dynamic also allows the serrations to contour to the surface shape of the material being cut, further increasing their effectiveness.

One of Spyderco’s most significant contributions to the cutlery industry was the introduction of serrated cutting edges on folding knives. During Spyderco’s early history, its founders sold knife sharpeners and other brands of kitchen knives as “pitchmen” at fairs and trade shows across the country. That experience taught them a lot about what sharpness and cutting performance are really all about and gave them an exceptional insight into the advantages of serrated edges.

Subsequently, Spyderco invested significant time, energy, and resources into the research and development of serrated edges. By understanding how serrated edges cut, we learned how to optimize their performance and ultimately developed our own high-performance serration pattern—the SpyderEdge™.

To really understand serrated edges, it’s important to realize that all cutting edges are in fact serrated edges. Even the finest, most highly polished edge consists of thousands of microscopic teeth generated by the abrasive material used to create it. Cutting with a PlainEdge™ blade is therefore very much like cutting with a microscopic saw.

A serrated edge takes this same concept and scales it up, providing greater and more purposeful control over the shape, size, and angle of the edge’s teeth. Spyderco’s highly refined SpyderEdge pattern, which consists of an alternating series of one large groove and two smaller ones, is based on years of relentless research, development, and product testing. Each groove is separated by a highly defined, acutely pointed tooth and the terminal cutting edge runs continuously along all the recesses of the grooves. This scientifically perfected pattern offers 24% more total cutting edge than a plain edged blade of the same length. The acute points of each tooth create focused penetration points that initiate the cutting action, while the concave edges in each groove offer an infinite number of cutting angles that automatically contour to the material being cut. The result is a dynamic fusion of highly aggressive cutting mechanics that is extremely effective, especially on hard-to-cut fibrous materials like rope and webbing.

The serration pattern on our SpyderEdge kitchen knives is even further refined by making the points of the serrations longer. This allows them to contact the surface of a cutting board while raising the rest of the cutting edge above it, preserving the edge and allowing it to cut significantly longer without dulling.

Right out of the box, our SpyderEdge knives cut with a vengeance and stay sharper longer than traditional PlainEdge blades. But, like all knives, with enough use they will ultimately start to dull. So how do you get them sharp again? The easiest way is with our Tri-Angle Sharpmaker®, a complete sharpening system that uses triangular ceramic rods with rounded edges as the sharpening abrasive. Contrary to popular belief, it’s not necessary to individually sharpen each serration scallop. Instead, use the Sharpmaker in the conventional manner—by holding the plane of the blade vertical and drawing the edge from heel to tip along each stone. The only difference is that you should use a looser grip and go a little slower to allow the edge of the stone to “flow” down into the recesses of each scallop. Also, since the serrations are only ground on one side of the blade, make three passes on the “bevel” side of the serration and one pass on the “back” side to remove the burr. Continue this process, alternating three strokes on the bevel side to one on the back side, until the desired sharpness is achieved.

Serrations can supercharge the cutting power of a blade and are ideal for many cutting chores. Now that you understand them—and know how easy is to sharpen them—there’s no reason NOT to include them in your selection of cutting tools.

==The C223GP Para 3==

'''MSRP:''' $199.95

'''Wholesale:''' $99.95

'''MAP:''' $119.97

'''Origin:''' USA

Easily one of the most anticipated products in Spyderco’s history, the Para 3 is the latest generation of our immensely popular Para Military family of folding knives. It traces its history all the way back to the first-generation Para Military™ model, which was introduced in 2004 and even further to that knife’s inspiration: the iconic Military™ Model.

The original design intent of the Para Military was to provide the same proven reliability and cutting performance of the Military, but in a more compact, easy-to-carry package. The design also showcased Spyderco’s patented Compression Lock™—a high-strength lock mechanism housed in the spine of the handle that offered a number of significant advantages over the Military’s LinerLock.

In keeping with Spyderco’s deep commitment to Constant Quality Improvement (C.Q.I.), in 2010 the Para Military was redesigned to yield the Para Military 2. This second-generation design incorporated an improved lock detent, refined ergonomics, countersunk handle and pivot screws, and a four-position clip that supports all possible carry configurations. These enhancements quickly established the “Para 2” as one of Spyderco’s most popular and in-demand models and, to many end users, the “perfect” folding knife. While it was significantly smaller than the Military Model that inspired it, for some customers it was still larger than what they could comfortably or legally carry. Based on that feedback, we went back to the drawing board once again to distill all the features, benefits, and performance of the Para Military 2 into a “sub-compact” package built around a three-inch blade.

Spyderco byte - November 2016

2026-06-10T14:58:15Z

ThatWouter: /* Holiday hours */

The Spyderco bye November 2016 e-newsletter was sent out on 29 November 2016, and it contained the following articles.

==The FB38GP Junction==

'''MSRP:''' $299.95

'''Wholesale:''' $149.95

'''MAP:''' $179.97

'''Origin:''' Taiwan

Gayle Bradley’s Junction is a versatile, all-purpose fixed-blade knife that is ideal for hunters, backpackers, and outdoorsmen on the go. True to the custom version that inspired it, Spyderco’s production version of the Junction’s blade is precision ground from PSF27—an incredibly tough spray-formed tool steel that is one of Bradley’s personal favorite blade materials.

The spray-forming process is used in some industrial applications to spray molten steel onto a form, creating a complex, near-finished shape that requires very little finish machining. Although this method is not used when producing bar stock for knife blades, like the particle metallurgy process, spray forming rapidly solidifies molten steel into small particles. This “freezes” the component alloys of the material so they cannot “segregate” or settle and produces steel with an ultra-fine, extremely homogenous grain structure.

PSF27’s alloy composition includes chromium, molybdenum, vanadium and a generous 1.55% carbon. In simple terms, this makes it very similar to that of D2 tool steel—long a cutlery industry standard. However, because of its unique properties, it offers greater wear resistance and significantly better chipping resistance. Like D2, its chromium content is 12%—just below the official threshold for stainless steel—so care should be taken to maintain it properly.

From a design perspective, the Junction’s blade features a broad profile, a full-flat grind, and a gracefully curved belly. The synergy of these elements creates impressive edge geometry that reduces cutting friction and allows the blade to tackle both delicate tasks and extreme cutting chores with equal ease. For maximum control and strength, the Junction features a wide, ergonomic handle and a subtle integral guard that helps keep the user’s hand from sliding forward onto the edge. Its sturdy full tang is nestled between slim, smooth G-10 scales that are permanently attached with stout tubular rivets that ensure superior structural strength and allow the knife to be easily lashed to a pole as an improvised survival spear.

The Junction comes complete with a custom-molded Boltaron® sheath and a versatile G-Clip™ attachment that allows it to be configured for vertical, horizontal, or diagonal canted carry. The G-Clip can be attached to both faces of the symmetrical sheath to support a wide range of belt carry and clip-style inside-the-waistband carry positions.

The next-best thing to one of Bradley’s coveted custom fixed blades, the Junction is the ideal companion for all your outdoor adventures.

==The C214TIP Advocate==

'''MSRP: $369.95

'''Wholesale:''' $189.95

'''MAP:''' $221.97

'''Origin:''' Taiwan

The all-new Spyderco Advocate represents a new direction in folding knife design from Gayle Bradley. It reflects his recent focus on more tactically oriented knives while maintaining all the key qualities and attributes that make his designs so special.

Like many of Bradley’s coveted custom knives, the Advocate's blade is precision machined from CPM® M4—a high-performance particle metallurgy tool steel renowned for its extreme edge-holding ability. The full-flat-ground, PlainEdged™ blade includes a fully functional Trademark Round Hole™ for traditional one-handed opening methods, as well as a prominent index-finger flipper that also functions as a lower guard when the blade is open. Special friction-reducing ball-bearing washers on each side of the blade’s pivot ensure an ultra-smooth action and lightning-quick deployment regardless of the opening method used.

The Advocate’s distinctive handle consists of two painstakingly machined solid titanium scales. Their outer surfaces are carefully radiused to provide a comfortable, ergonomic grip and treated with a stunning “orange peel” texture that is both visually appealing and provides a subtle non-slip texture. The reverse-side scale is machined to create a high-strength Reeve Integral Lock (R.I.L.) mechanism that is complemented by a hardened stainless steel interface. The interface ensures long-wearing, steel-on-steel contact between the lock face and blade ramp and also serves as an overtravel stop to preserve the lock bar’s proper spring tension. To minimize weight, the handle boasts an open-backed construction style that also simplifies cleaning and maintenance. A reversible hourglass clip provides convenient left or right-side tip-up carry and guarantees that the Advocate is always poised and ready for action.

A spectacular reflection of Gayle Bradley’s latest design and knifemaking efforts, the Advocate is also a proud new addition to the Spyderco family of flipper-opening folders.

==Designer profile: Gayle Bradley==

Gayle Bradley is a name that should be very familiar to Spyderco fans. One of our most prolific collaborative designers, he has also been instrumental in inspiring our efforts to adapt exotic, high-performance blade steels to commercial knife production.

A proud native Texan, Bradley began making custom knives in 1988. As his skills and reputation as a maker steadily grew, so did the demand for his meticulously crafted blades. By April 2002, he hit the tipping point and decided to become a full–time knifemaker. That decision is one that both he and his devoted customers will never regret.

In addition to being a voting member of The Knifemakers Guild, and a former member of the Board of Directors of The Texas Knifemakers and Collectors Association, Bradley is also a former competitor and world record holder in BladeSports International cutting competition. The demanding challenges of competitive cutting provide an excellent opportunity for courageous custom makers to test their blades. In Bradley’s case, it also gave him an exceptional understanding of the finer aspects of knife design, edge geometry, steel selection, heat treatment, and real cutting performance. That understanding is what continues to distinguish him and his knives from his knifemaking peers.

Bradley is best known for making high-end fixed-blade and folding knives using the finest materials and time-tested old-school craftsmanship. To date, his traditional custom designs have inspired Spyderco collaboration models such as the Bradley Folder™, the Bradley Folder 2, the Air™, the Bradley Bowie™, and the new Junction™ fixed blade. Bradley’s collaborations, however, are much more than just knife designs. They also mirror his use of exotic, high-performance steels like CPM® M4 and PSF27, faithfully translating his elite custom work to factory-made knives and in the process significantly pushing the envelope of production-knife blade steels.

Never one to rest on his laurels, Bradley has recently been concentrating on developing designs with a more tactical flavor. Not surprisingly, his tactical blades are every bit as impressive as his utilitarian designs—and every bit as inspiring. His latest folder collaboration with Spyderco—the newly released Advocate™—is proof of that.

Gayle Bradley is a remarkable combination of designer, craftsman, and salt-of-the-Earth American patriot. We are honored to be able to share his designs with our customers and to have him as a member of the Spyderco team.

Spyderco byte - November 2016

2026-06-10T14:56:19Z

ThatWouter: /* Designer profile: Gayle Bradley */

The Spyderco bye November 2016 e-newsletter was sent out on 29 November 2016, and it contained the following articles.

==The FB38GP Junction==

'''MSRP:''' $299.95

'''Wholesale:''' $149.95

'''MAP:''' $179.97

'''Origin:''' Taiwan

Gayle Bradley’s Junction is a versatile, all-purpose fixed-blade knife that is ideal for hunters, backpackers, and outdoorsmen on the go. True to the custom version that inspired it, Spyderco’s production version of the Junction’s blade is precision ground from PSF27—an incredibly tough spray-formed tool steel that is one of Bradley’s personal favorite blade materials.

The spray-forming process is used in some industrial applications to spray molten steel onto a form, creating a complex, near-finished shape that requires very little finish machining. Although this method is not used when producing bar stock for knife blades, like the particle metallurgy process, spray forming rapidly solidifies molten steel into small particles. This “freezes” the component alloys of the material so they cannot “segregate” or settle and produces steel with an ultra-fine, extremely homogenous grain structure.

PSF27’s alloy composition includes chromium, molybdenum, vanadium and a generous 1.55% carbon. In simple terms, this makes it very similar to that of D2 tool steel—long a cutlery industry standard. However, because of its unique properties, it offers greater wear resistance and significantly better chipping resistance. Like D2, its chromium content is 12%—just below the official threshold for stainless steel—so care should be taken to maintain it properly.

From a design perspective, the Junction’s blade features a broad profile, a full-flat grind, and a gracefully curved belly. The synergy of these elements creates impressive edge geometry that reduces cutting friction and allows the blade to tackle both delicate tasks and extreme cutting chores with equal ease. For maximum control and strength, the Junction features a wide, ergonomic handle and a subtle integral guard that helps keep the user’s hand from sliding forward onto the edge. Its sturdy full tang is nestled between slim, smooth G-10 scales that are permanently attached with stout tubular rivets that ensure superior structural strength and allow the knife to be easily lashed to a pole as an improvised survival spear.

The Junction comes complete with a custom-molded Boltaron® sheath and a versatile G-Clip™ attachment that allows it to be configured for vertical, horizontal, or diagonal canted carry. The G-Clip can be attached to both faces of the symmetrical sheath to support a wide range of belt carry and clip-style inside-the-waistband carry positions.

The next-best thing to one of Bradley’s coveted custom fixed blades, the Junction is the ideal companion for all your outdoor adventures.

'''Overall:''' : 8.45in 215mm

'''Blade:''' 4.15in 105mm

'''Edge:''' 3.63in 92mm

'''Weight:''' 4.1oz 116g

'''Grind:''' Full-Flat

'''Origin:''' Taiwan

==The C214TIP Advocate==

'''MSRP: $369.95

'''Wholesale:''' $189.95

'''MAP:''' $221.97

'''Origin:''' Taiwan

The all-new Spyderco Advocate represents a new direction in folding knife design from Gayle Bradley. It reflects his recent focus on more tactically oriented knives while maintaining all the key qualities and attributes that make his designs so special.

Like many of Bradley’s coveted custom knives, the Advocate's blade is precision machined from CPM® M4—a high-performance particle metallurgy tool steel renowned for its extreme edge-holding ability. The full-flat-ground, PlainEdged™ blade includes a fully functional Trademark Round Hole™ for traditional one-handed opening methods, as well as a prominent index-finger flipper that also functions as a lower guard when the blade is open. Special friction-reducing ball-bearing washers on each side of the blade’s pivot ensure an ultra-smooth action and lightning-quick deployment regardless of the opening method used.

The Advocate’s distinctive handle consists of two painstakingly machined solid titanium scales. Their outer surfaces are carefully radiused to provide a comfortable, ergonomic grip and treated with a stunning “orange peel” texture that is both visually appealing and provides a subtle non-slip texture. The reverse-side scale is machined to create a high-strength Reeve Integral Lock (R.I.L.) mechanism that is complemented by a hardened stainless steel interface. The interface ensures long-wearing, steel-on-steel contact between the lock face and blade ramp and also serves as an overtravel stop to preserve the lock bar’s proper spring tension. To minimize weight, the handle boasts an open-backed construction style that also simplifies cleaning and maintenance. A reversible hourglass clip provides convenient left or right-side tip-up carry and guarantees that the Advocate is always poised and ready for action.

A spectacular reflection of Gayle Bradley’s latest design and knifemaking efforts, the Advocate is also a proud new addition to the Spyderco family of flipper-opening folders.

'''Overall:''' : 8.04in 204mm

The Spyderco bye November 2016 e-newsletter was sent out on 29 November 2016, and it contained the following articles.

==The FB38GP Junction==

'''MSRP:''' $299.95

'''Wholesale:''' $149.95

'''MAP:''' $179.97

'''Origin:''' Taiwan

Gayle Bradley’s Junction is a versatile, all-purpose fixed-blade knife that is ideal for hunters, backpackers, and outdoorsmen on the go. True to the custom version that inspired it, Spyderco’s production version of the Junction’s blade is precision ground from PSF27—an incredibly tough spray-formed tool steel that is one of Bradley’s personal favorite blade materials.

The spray-forming process is used in some industrial applications to spray molten steel onto a form, creating a complex, near-finished shape that requires very little finish machining. Although this method is not used when producing bar stock for knife blades, like the particle metallurgy process, spray forming rapidly solidifies molten steel into small particles. This “freezes” the component alloys of the material so they cannot “segregate” or settle and produces steel with an ultra-fine, extremely homogenous grain structure.

PSF27’s alloy composition includes chromium, molybdenum, vanadium and a generous 1.55% carbon. In simple terms, this makes it very similar to that of D2 tool steel—long a cutlery industry standard. However, because of its unique properties, it offers greater wear resistance and significantly better chipping resistance. Like D2, its chromium content is 12%—just below the official threshold for stainless steel—so care should be taken to maintain it properly.

From a design perspective, the Junction’s blade features a broad profile, a full-flat grind, and a gracefully curved belly. The synergy of these elements creates impressive edge geometry that reduces cutting friction and allows the blade to tackle both delicate tasks and extreme cutting chores with equal ease. For maximum control and strength, the Junction features a wide, ergonomic handle and a subtle integral guard that helps keep the user’s hand from sliding forward onto the edge. Its sturdy full tang is nestled between slim, smooth G-10 scales that are permanently attached with stout tubular rivets that ensure superior structural strength and allow the knife to be easily lashed to a pole as an improvised survival spear.

The Junction comes complete with a custom-molded Boltaron® sheath and a versatile G-Clip™ attachment that allows it to be configured for vertical, horizontal, or diagonal canted carry. The G-Clip can be attached to both faces of the symmetrical sheath to support a wide range of belt carry and clip-style inside-the-waistband carry positions.

The next-best thing to one of Bradley’s coveted custom fixed blades, the Junction is the ideal companion for all your outdoor adventures.

'''Overall:''' : 8.45in 215mm

==The C214TIP Advocate==

'''MSRP: $369.95

'''Wholesale:''' $189.95

'''MAP:''' $221.97

'''Origin:''' Taiwan

The all-new Spyderco Advocate represents a new direction in folding knife design from Gayle Bradley. It reflects his recent focus on more tactically oriented knives while maintaining all the key qualities and attributes that make his designs so special.

Like many of Bradley’s coveted custom knives, the Advocate's blade is precision machined from CPM® M4—a high-performance particle metallurgy tool steel renowned for its extreme edge-holding ability. The full-flat-ground, PlainEdged™ blade includes a fully functional Trademark Round Hole™ for traditional one-handed opening methods, as well as a prominent index-finger flipper that also functions as a lower guard when the blade is open. Special friction-reducing ball-bearing washers on each side of the blade’s pivot ensure an ultra-smooth action and lightning-quick deployment regardless of the opening method used.

The Advocate’s distinctive handle consists of two painstakingly machined solid titanium scales. Their outer surfaces are carefully radiused to provide a comfortable, ergonomic grip and treated with a stunning “orange peel” texture that is both visually appealing and provides a subtle non-slip texture. The reverse-side scale is machined to create a high-strength Reeve Integral Lock (R.I.L.) mechanism that is complemented by a hardened stainless steel interface. The interface ensures long-wearing, steel-on-steel contact between the lock face and blade ramp and also serves as an overtravel stop to preserve the lock bar’s proper spring tension. To minimize weight, the handle boasts an open-backed construction style that also simplifies cleaning and maintenance. A reversible hourglass clip provides convenient left or right-side tip-up carry and guarantees that the Advocate is always poised and ready for action.

A spectacular reflection of Gayle Bradley’s latest design and knifemaking efforts, the Advocate is also a proud new addition to the Spyderco family of flipper-opening folders.

==Designer profile: Gayle Bradley==

Gayle Bradley is a name that should be very familiar to Spyderco fans. One of our most prolific collaborative designers, he has also been instrumental in inspiring our efforts to adapt exotic, high-performance blade steels to commercial knife production.

A proud native Texan, Bradley began making custom knives in 1988. As his skills and reputation as a maker steadily grew, so did the demand for his meticulously crafted blades. By April 2002, he hit the tipping point and decided to become a full–time knifemaker. That decision is one that both he and his devoted customers will never regret.

In addition to being a voting member of The Knifemakers Guild, and a former member of the Board of Directors of The Texas Knifemakers and Collectors Association, Bradley is also a former competitor and world record holder in BladeSports International cutting competition. The demanding challenges of competitive cutting provide an excellent opportunity for courageous custom makers to test their blades. In Bradley’s case, it also gave him an exceptional understanding of the finer aspects of knife design, edge geometry, steel selection, heat treatment, and real cutting performance. That understanding is what continues to distinguish him and his knives from his knifemaking peers.

Bradley is best known for making high-end fixed-blade and folding knives using the finest materials and time-tested old-school craftsmanship. To date, his traditional custom designs have inspired Spyderco collaboration models such as the Bradley Folder™, the Bradley Folder 2, the Air™, the Bradley Bowie™, and the new Junction™ fixed blade. Bradley’s collaborations, however, are much more than just knife designs. They also mirror his use of exotic, high-performance steels like CPM® M4 and PSF27, faithfully translating his elite custom work to factory-made knives and in the process significantly pushing the envelope of production-knife blade steels.

Never one to rest on his laurels, Bradley has recently been concentrating on developing designs with a more tactical flavor. Not surprisingly, his tactical blades are every bit as impressive as his utilitarian designs—and every bit as inspiring. His latest folder collaboration with Spyderco—the newly released Advocate™—is proof of that.

Gayle Bradley is a remarkable combination of designer, craftsman, and salt-of-the-Earth American patriot. We are honored to be able to share his designs with our customers and to have him as a member of the Spyderco team.

==Breast Cancer Awareness Month==

National Breast Cancer Awareness Month (NBCAM) is an annual international health campaign to increase public awareness of the disease and support efforts to work toward a cure. Observed annually during the month of October, NBCAM is a time of many organized events to support those affected by breast cancer and raise funds for cancer-related research and treatment. This month, many members of the Spyderco Crew participated in Denver-area walks and other charitable events to help support this extremely worthy cause.

==New website==

You asked for it, and you got it! This month, Spyderco launched its all-new, totally redesigned web site! In addition to a fresh new look, Spyderco.com now offers greatly improved functionality that allows you to find exactly what you’re looking for easier than ever before. Its search functions now make it possible to easily sort our knives by key features—including blade steel, blade length, handle material, and even weight— so you can quickly find the perfect knife for your needs.

We are extremely excited to have our new web site online and look forward to making it even better as we move forward. Please visit the site, explore its many new features, and feel free to share your feedback and comments.

'''C266 Edgerati'''

"''The brainchild of Spyderco co-founder Sal Glesser, the Edgerati translates his deep interest in high-performance sports cars into a remarkable knife design. Its pierced, geometric handle was inspired by the frame of the legendary “birdcage” Maserati, which revolutionized sports car design. True to that spirit, the Edgerati’s handle scales are painstakingly machined from solid aircraft-grade aluminum and hardcoat anodized to create an exceptional blend of strength, light weight, non-slip texture, and dramatic style. They also provide a view of the knife’s streamlined Compression Lock® mechanism, which consists of a stainless steel lock bar nested into a machined pocket in the obverse-side scale. The knife’s straight-spined, full-flat-ground blade is crafted from CPM® S30V® particle metallurgy stainless steel. Available in both PlainEdge™ and SpyderEdge™ configurations, it features a textured index-finger choil that allows a forward-positioned grip for enhanced control. The Edgerati’s broad-based pocket clip is reversible for left or right-side tip-up carry and complements the blade’s fully accessible Trademark Round Hole™ to allow swift, positive deployment with either hand.''"<ref name="current catalog">The C266 Edgerati in [https://www.spyderco.com/catalog/details/C266AL/Edgerati-trade-/2639 Spyderco's online catalog]</ref>

Flat grind

2026-06-10T14:38:05Z

ThatWouter:

Flat ground knives usually have a blade that is flat and tapers from 0 to bladewith completely flat making a V- shape. These blades slice very well. The Flat grind blade differs from a [[Full Flat grind]] in that the grind does not go all the way up to the spine, but rather just below the spine, leaving more material in the blade for added strength.

And example of a Flat ground blade is the [[FB53 Skoli]]

==History, mentionings from the forums etc.==

[https://forum.spyderco.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=81898 Anticipation thread] has a bunch of user reviews.

==Information from the Spyderco catalog on the web==

'''C240 Smock'''

"''Kevin Smock is an award-winning industrial designer who is turning heads with his visionary handcrafted custom knives. Based on his SK23 custom folder, the Spyderco Smock translates his innovative style into a premium-quality production folder.''

''The hollow-ground blade of this knife is precision machined from CPM® S30V® stainless steel and includes both a Trademark Round Hole™ and an elegantly understated flipper opener. The flipper action is supported by a pair of special ball-bearing pivot washers and a dedicated secondary detent mechanism separate from the knife's lock. It is paired with a skeletonized handle featuring full stainless steel liners, textured carbon fiber/G-10 laminate scales, lightweight, open-backed construction, and a reversible, tip-up pocket clip for ambidextrous carry.''

''The Smock’s most unique feature, however, is the button release on its high-strength Compression Lock mechanism, which allows the knife to be safely and easily closed without placing your fingers near the blade’s edge. Slim, innovative and distinctly different, the Smock truly reflects Kevin Smock's unique approach to knifemaking.''"

Questions with an answer: '''Q:''' I see pictures of the Smock with a J-style clip and for right hand only carry. Did this ever make it to production?

==Information from the Spyderco catalog on the web==

C123CFP [[Walker Liner Lock]]:

"''A Sage is someone wise in judgment and experience. It’s reasonable assuming they achieved that title through trial, error and extending their best effort at every opportunity. If that definition can be applied to something tangible it would be an item created from experience and striving for quality and performance at the highest level. If said item were a pocketknife we could call it a Sage.''

''The C123 Sage represents Spyderco’s 30-year pledge to knife crafting and learning to make better knives at every available opportunity. The plan is to offer an ongoing series of Sage Folders with many of the different and ingenuous locking devices and mechanisms the knife industry has to offer.''

''This model is in recognition of knifemaker Michael Walker’s contribution to the knife industry with his creation of the LinerLock® and ball bearing detent method of locking open a folding knife. While the knife is made in Taiwan, the flat-ground blade is produced with USA made CPM-S30V. It is paired with a twill-woven carbon fiber handle and LinerLock. Categorized as a mid-sized folder, the blade is flat-ground and PlainEdged. Designed for comfort and in-the-hand-ergonomics, the carbon fiber handle is vibrant with multi-colored fibers bonded together when manufacturing the carbon fiber. The weaving runs deep, making ridges and textures for the palm to adhere to while gripping and cutting. A silhouette wire pocket clip adjusts for left- or right-hand carry.''"<ref name="current catalog">The C123 Sage Walker Liner Lock in [http://www.spyderco.com/catalog/details.php?product=332 Spyderco's online catalog]</ref>

The C123 Sage is made in Taiwan.

==Most collectible variation==

===Questions regarding collecting the C123===

Some interesting questions we are looking for an answer to:

Questions with an answer:

'''Q:''' Why is the Sage 2 the only [[Variant]] in the Collector's club?

'''A:''' The CF Sage 1 was the first Sage, and therefore the [[Main]] model. When the next Sage (the Ti Sage 2) came out in early 2009, it was a variant of the Sage lineup. Later that year, the collector's club was reorganized. As part of this reorganization, it was decided that the each new Sage release would be considered as a [[Main]] model and would not have a "V" after the collector's number. The rest of the Sages were released after this change, so that is why only the Ti Sage 2 has a "V" after the number. (note: with the release of the CF Sage 3, a true variant of the bolt-lock design version, the Sage series now has two variants. I'd expect that any new lock implementations would continue to receive the "Main" designation while any changes to handle material within each lock design would constitute a "Variant" designation.)

==Information from the Spyderco catalog on the web==

C123CFP [[Walker Liner Lock]]:

"''A Sage is someone wise in judgment and experience. It’s reasonable assuming they achieved that title through trial, error and extending their best effort at every opportunity. If that definition can be applied to something tangible it would be an item created from experience and striving for quality and performance at the highest level. If said item were a pocketknife we could call it a Sage.''

''The C123 Sage represents Spyderco’s 30-year pledge to knife crafting and learning to make better knives at every available opportunity. The plan is to offer an ongoing series of Sage Folders with many of the different and ingenuous locking devices and mechanisms the knife industry has to offer.''

''This model is in recognition of knifemaker Michael Walker’s contribution to the knife industry with his creation of the LinerLock® and ball bearing detent method of locking open a folding knife. While the knife is made in Taiwan, the flat-ground blade is produced with USA made CPM-S30V. It is paired with a twill-woven carbon fiber handle and LinerLock. Categorized as a mid-sized folder, the blade is flat-ground and PlainEdged. Designed for comfort and in-the-hand-ergonomics, the carbon fiber handle is vibrant with multi-colored fibers bonded together when manufacturing the carbon fiber. The weaving runs deep, making ridges and textures for the palm to adhere to while gripping and cutting. A silhouette wire pocket clip adjusts for left- or right-hand carry.''"<ref name="current catalog">The C123 Sage Walker Liner Lock in [http://www.spyderco.com/catalog/details.php?product=332 Spyderco's online catalog]</ref>

==Most collectible variation==

===Questions regarding collecting the C123===

Some interesting questions we are looking for an answer to:

Questions with an answer:

'''Q:''' Why is the Sage 2 the only [[Variant]] in the Collector's club?

'''A:''' The CF Sage 1 was the first Sage, and therefore the [[Main]] model. When the next Sage (the Ti Sage 2) came out in early 2009, it was a variant of the Sage lineup. Later that year, the collector's club was reorganized. As part of this reorganization, it was decided that the each new Sage release would be considered as a [[Main]] model and would not have a "V" after the collector's number. The rest of the Sages were released after this change, so that is why only the Ti Sage 2 has a "V" after the number. (note: with the release of the CF Sage 3, a true variant of the bolt-lock design version, the Sage series now has two variants. I'd expect that any new lock implementations would continue to receive the "Main" designation while any changes to handle material within each lock design would constitute a "Variant" designation.)

==Information from the Spyderco catalog on the web==

'''C101 Manix:'''

"''The recipe for success: Start with an exceptionally strong lock, manufacture using precise tolerances and add a blade honed from exotic high-carbon stainless steel. The conclusion is the Manix 83mm. The C101 is an assembly of small seemingly inconsequential features that added together result in one of the strongest knives from Spyderco to date. Outstanding ergonomics are the result of the positioning between the fore-finger choil and the backlock and the relationship between the blade’s weight, the lock’s shape and the spring’s shape. These little things result in the smoothest possible opening/closing and reliable and comfortable cutting. Nested in the handle are skeletonized dual steel liners increasing rigidity and strength without the burden of unneeded weight. The blade is made from Crucible’s CPM-S30V steel and comes double flat-ground with aggressive thumb serrations (jimping) above the enlarged 14mm Spyderco Round Hole. Jimping keeps the thumb in safe and controlled contact with the blade’s spine. A three-screw pocket clip adjusts for ambidextrously carry, tip-up or tip-down.''"

The C101 Manix 80mm in [http://www.spyderco.com/catalog/details.php?product=212 Spyderco's online catalog]

'''C101 Manix 2:'''

"''The Manix 2 is a dependable, all-purpose folding knife that showcases Spyderco’s Made-in-USA quality and patented Ball Bearing Lock™. Its broad blade is precision machined from Crucible’s premium CPM® S30V® particle metallurgy stainless steel and features a full-flat grind for an exceptional balance of edge geometry and strength. Matching areas of jimping (textured grooves) on the thumb ramp and the index-finger choil complement the handle’s refined ergonomics to offer an amazingly secure, comfortable grip.''

''Constructed with full stainless steel liners, a stainless steel back spacer, and textured black G-10 scales, the Manix 2’s handle is home to a high-strength Ball Bearing Lock mechanism. One of our strongest, smoothest operating lock mechanisms, it consists of a hardened steel ball bearing encased in a polymer cage. When the knife is opened, a spring plunger drives the ball bearing forward onto a ramp on the blade, wedging it securely open. Pulling back on the cage releases the lock and allows the blade to pivot smoothly closed. Both opening and closing are easily performed with either hand and without ever placing your fingers near the blade’s edge.''

''To ensure instant access and ease of carry, the Manix 2 includes a reversible hourglass clip that supports left or right-side tip-up carry. It complements the blade’s Trademark Round Hole and lock mechanism to make every aspect of the knife’s carry, deployment, and operation completely ambidextrous.''"

The C101 Manix 2 in [https://www.spyderco.com/catalog/details/C101G2/418 Spyderco's online catalog]

'''C101 Manix 2 lightweight:'''

"''The original Manix 2 Lightweight was the Winner of Blade magazine’s coveted Most Innovative American Design award. It combined the full-service cutting performance of the popular Manix 2 with a revolutionary lightweight handle molded from tough FRCP (fiberglass reinforced co-polymer). This version of the Manix 2 Lightweight is identical to that award-winning knife, with the exception of its handle color.''

''Weighing in at a scant three ounces, the Manix 2 Black Lightweight features a full-flat-ground CTS® BD1 stainless steel blade with Spyderco’s signature Trademark Round Hole™ for easy, ambidextrous, one-handed opening. The blade is supported by a high-strength Ball Bearing Lock™ housed within a precision-machined steel insert in the handle. The durable FRCP handle includes a molded Bi-Directional Texture™ pattern to ensure a secure grip in even the most demanding environments. A reversible wire clip provides left or right-side tip-up carry and makes the operation and carry of this knife completely ambidextrous.''

==Information from the Spyderco catalog on the web==

'''C229 Shaman'''

"''Drawing inspiration from our iconic Native® folding knife, the Shaman offers the same advanced ergonomics and proven design dynamics in a larger, even more capable format. The soul of this impressive design is its CPM® S30V® stainless steel blade, which features a full-flat grind for outstanding edge geometry and an acute, utilitarian point. A fully accessible Trademark Round Hole™ proudly announces its Spyderco lineage and ensures swift, reliable, one-handed opening with either hand.''

''The stonewash-finished blade is housed in an exceptionally refined, ergonomic handle built with nested skeletonized stainless steel liners and contoured matte-finished G-10 scales. This robust construction forms the foundation of the knife’s high-strength Compression Lock™ mechanism, which locks the blade securely open and allows safe, easy one-handed closing.''

''To ensure convenient carry and immediate access, a stonewashed four-position pocket clip offers left or right-side, tip-up or tip-down carry. Available with either a PlainEdge™ or fully serrated SpyderEdge™ blade, the Shaman offers powerful cutting magic in a stylish, user-friendly format.''"

The C229 Shaman in [https://www.spyderco.com/catalog/details/C229G/1080 Spyderco's online catalog].

==Variations==

The C229 Shaman is made in Golden, CO and has
* [[Compression Lock]]
* Nested, skeltonized [[Stainless Steel]] liners
* Lanyard hole
* Subtle spine swedge
