Spyderco knives and folding knives
Spyderco was founded in 1978 in Golden, Colorado. Spyderco created many features that are now common in folding knives, including the pocket clip, blade serrations and Spyderco's trademark opening hole. They have been collaborating with many custom knifemakers, athletes, and self-defence instructors around the world.
Spyderco has pioneered the use of 20 different blade materials, including CPM-SV60V, CPM-S90V, H-1 and others. The company invests a lot in research and development in order to keep producing the high-quality reliable cutting tools designed and manufactured for peak performance and ergonomic comfort.
Spyderco is an American manufacturer of knives and knife accessories that quickly rose to prominence as a pioneer in the industry - especially in the field of folding knives.
The company’s story began in 1976, when Sal and Gail Glesser founded Spyderco. Like many great success stories, Spyderco had humble beginnings: the Glessers initially sold their products at trade shows and various events.
The first Spyderco folding knife was introduced in 1981, marking a major turning point and setting the company on a path to wider success. While folding knives remain Spyderco’s main focus, the company also produces fixed-blade knives, kitchen knives, throwing knives, and a variety of tools and accessories.
Thanks to their consistent quality, Spyderco knives are popular not only with private users, but also among law enforcement and emergency service professionals.
