Spyderco Knives at CritPro

Spyderco was founded in 1976 in Golden, Colorado and has spent nearly five decades redefining what a production folding knife can be. Sal Glesser founded the company with a commitment to innovation and a willingness to challenge every assumption about knife design, and that philosophy has produced some of the most significant advances in production knife design of the last half century. The round opening hole that Spyderco pioneered and patented in 1981 transformed one-hand knife opening and is now one of the most copied features in the industry. The pocket clip, which Spyderco introduced to folding knives and popularized as a carry standard, is now considered a basic feature on virtually every production folder. These are not incremental improvements but fundamental changes to how knives are designed and carried that originated with Spyderco.

Spyderco folding knives are defined by their commitment to premium blade steels, ergonomic handle geometry, and cutting performance that prioritizes function over aesthetics. The Spyderco catalog includes designs from some of the most respected custom knife makers in the world, with collaborations that bring genuine custom knife talent to production prices. Blade steels across the Spyderco line include some of the most advanced available in production knives, from practical mid-range options like VG-10 and CTS-BD1N to premium super steels like S30V, S90V, and Maxamet that deliver edge retention and cutting performance at the absolute top of what production knife manufacturing achieves. Folding knives dominate the catalog but fixed blade knives from Spyderco apply the same quality standards to outdoor and tactical applications.

For everyday carry users and collectors who want premium materials, innovative design, and cutting performance from a brand that has spent nearly fifty years pushing the boundaries of what a production knife can be, Spyderco is one of the most important names in the modern knife market.
