Spyderco Knives

When it comes to knifemaking, Spyderco are leading innovators that push the boundaries of design. Known for pioneering innovative features like the pocket clip, round hole, and serrations, Spyderco only continues to revolutionize the knife industry.

A History

Founded in 1976 by Sal and Glesser, Spyderco has grown to become one of today's industry-leading knifemakers. Sal aptly named the company as such after noticing that many high-performance cars had "Spyder" in their name, in turn creating "Spyderco" to represent his desire to create high-performance cutlery and tools.

The Clip

A common feature on most folding knives today, the clip was first equipped onto a knife by Spyderco in 1981. This innovative design allowed a knife to be carried at the top of a pocket or a belt, revolutionizing everyday carry.

Why the round hole?

Most Spyderco knives feature a round hole in the blade. In addition to reducing overall knife weight, the patented round hole allows for a swift and easy one-handed blade deployment. The round hole provides a larger surface area for your finger, offering more mobility than thumb studs, disks, or other one-handed opening attachments.
