Spyderco Balance Folding Knife

One look at this one & we need to get one, looking forward to playing with the Spyderco Balance, what a cool looking knife.

Balance is a state of equilibrium or equal distribution. In our case it’s an Ed Schempp folder that is symmetrical on each end when closed. Odd looks aside, when in the hand it’s ergonomically proportional and a natural fit. The VG-10 blade rears up in a radical curve with a deep finger choil. When the index finger sits in the choil, the blade feels like an extension of your hand. The enlarged Spyderco Round Hole is dead center on the blade when closed and perfectly off-centered when open, positioning the thumb for smooth one-hand use. Carbon fiber handle. Screw together construction. Four way, left/right, tip-up/tip-down hourglass stainless clip. Piped lanyard. Symphonic fit and finish.

Spyderco Lum Chinese with Titanium Handles

Who the heck is Bob Lum? You may not have heard of him yet, but you will. A custom knifemaker of Chinese heritage, Bob takes traditional Asian knife designs and infuses them with all things modern. Case in point is the C65TIP Spyderco Bob Lum Chinese Folder. The blade is tapered like a leaf, broad, flat and razor thin along the edge. This venerable leaf-shape has been around for centuries found on serviceable everyday cutting instruments in China. It’s a definite winner for general utility, hunting and tactical applications. The C65TIP has a 3 1/8 inch (80mm) flat-ground blade made of VG-10 steel. Matched up with titanium handles, it’s hard to say which reigns supreme, performance or eye appeal. The handle’s curvature ergonomically fits your hand for precise performance. A nested linerLock enhances lock strength, granting peace of mind when really muscling down on a cut. The pivot pin is eccentric and adjustable for wear. The Chinese Folder is a high-tech version of a time proven design.

Spyderco Persistence

If you're looking for a very affordable, but well built everyday carry (EDC), then this is the knife for you.

Depending whom you ask, Persistence means different things to different people. It means continuing without veering off course or changing function or structure. It describes ongoing existence regardless of interference or challenges. Some even say persistent personalities experience déjà vu more frequently due to their repetitive drive. We thought it a great name for a knife as it also means steadfastness and never-give-up-attitude. Spyderco’s C136 Persistence is the smaller version of the Tenacious Model, another reliable descriptive of human nature. We milled the black G-10 laminate handle with prolonged fatigue-free cutting in mind. Comfort in hand means easier use long-term. Skeletonized steel liners tucked inside the handle, increase the handle’s rigidity and strength level without adding non-functional weight or bulkiness. The 8Cr13MoV stainless blade is a modified skinning-style, ground-flat. Careful positioning of the oversized Spyderco Round Hole, relative to the location of the pivot, pre-set the hand in just the right spot for fumble-free one-hand blade open/close. Fully sharpened edge from tip to tang generates the most cutting edge possible for the blade’s length. A 4-way pocket clip lets the folder set tip-up/tip-down left-hand/right-hand. Walker Linerlock has a jimped liner. Screw together construction.

Spyderco Spyderhawk

Hawkbills are deeply curving blades, an invention of necessity out of the marine and commercial fishing industry. Fishermen are partial to curved blades because they cut in a position where they’re pulling downward at arm’s length away from themselves separating and freeing lines and netting. The curved tip grabs and pulls what’s being cut into the sharpened cutting edge. It didn’t take long for boaters, white water rafters and knife enthusiasts to warm to the functionality of this blade shape. The perfect union for cutting in or around water would be a Hawkbill blade made of H-1 non-rusting steel.

Spyderco’s SpyderHawk Salt is it. This Hawkbill is 100% rust free; it has a hollow-ground H-1 blade, rust-free internal components and a titanium pocket clip. Also geared toward water applications, the handle is easy to see Marine Yellow FRN (fiberglass reinforced nylon) with Volcano Grip® texturing. Handle texture supports gripping the knife wearing gloves or in wet, slippery conditions.Left/right pocket clip carried tip- up and a piped lanyard through the handle is just waiting for a thong or cord to doubly attach the folder to you in water.

Spyderco Perrin PPT Folding Knife

The Fred Perrin PPT is the latest EDC Knife released from Spyderco.  With it's unique design, it's sure to be a popular knife, look forward to the reviews.

Fred Perrin doesn’t sit still, figuratively or physically. He’s perpetually in motion, like a bullet-train picking up speed, as evidenced by his resume. Fred has been a world-vetted tae kwon do and stick-fighting champion, a French Army Commando, a professional writer, a martial arts instructor and one of France’s most recognized professional knifemakers and he’s only in his forties. The latest product of his alliance with Spyderco is the Perrin PPT folder. P.P.T. refers to folder’s three designers; Fred Perrin, Philippe Perotti and Sacha Thiel. The lock is a crossbreed, blending elements of both Michael Walker’s LinerLock and Chris Reeve’s Reeve Integral Lock. The lock functions as a frame-lock but a G-10 scale overlaying the lock looks very LinerLockish. The black G-10 handle scales are milled with corrugated creases for skid-free and ergonomic handling. Its CPM-S30V steel blade is a modified-Wharncliffe profile with a finger choil, spine jimping and a tapered swedge. Screw together construction. Left/right deep-carry pocket clip and lanyard hole open the door for endless attachment options.

SPYDERCO PARA-MILITARY with BLACK BLADE

When Spyderco introduced the Military Model years ago it gathered fans like the Pied Piper. Critics claimed it too big, too expensive and more knife than the average user needed. Likewise, fans heralded the knife's big performance attributes and snapped them up, firmly positioning the Military Model as one of Spyderco's top all-time sellers. Carrying a large folder for many is simply a non-issue. For others in our sensitive PC world, smaller equates to friendlier, less shocking, and in some place just plain legal. We arrive back at the question knifemakers ask everyday, "How do we satisfy both worlds and make a smaller knife that acts, cuts and performs like a large knife?"

Welcome the Para-Military, a two-thirds sized version of the Military Model. Its flat-ground S30V blade stretches a non-eyebrow raising 3-3/32" (81mm) long and has a carbon level of 1.45% with the addition of vanadium and nitrogen for over-the-top edge retention. Coated in black, the blade is subdued and non-reflective. The Spyderco Round Hole is generously sized at 14mm for opening the knife blade with gloved (or large) hands. Its black G-10 handle shuns chemicals and temperature fluctuations and expands at the butt-end keeping the hand from slipping off the handle while making hard pulling cuts. The package is topped off with a nested Compression Lock making the ultimate mid-sized survival knife designed to level trees, carve tent stakes and never generate a second glance
