Spyderco is the inventor of the trademark round hole opener, which was incorporated into their first folding knives made in 1981 called the Spyderco Worker. Spyderco is run by Sal Glesser and his son Eric Glesser from Golden, Colorado. Their knives are top notch and made in manufacturing facilities all over the world including Japan, Germany and China.
Spyderco revolutionalized the Sporting knife industry by popularizing the use of one-handed openers and pocket clips in knives. They hold many patents and are among the most innovative production sporting knife companies in the world.
Designed by Jason Breeden, the Spyderco Captain is designed to function as a multi-purpose utility and outdoors knife born from his experience in the Appalachian Mountains, where he resides. The Captain definately comes across as a unique function-follows-form design typical of Spyderco’s offerings, and partly the reason that I am attracted so much to it!
If there’s one thing James Keating knows, its knives. And when you take a guy like Keating and put him in a room with the crazy guys at Spyderco, you’re going to come out with an amazing knife. Now, let them revise the knife three times to perfection, and you have the Keating Chinook 3.
One of the latest knives from Spyderco that I’ve just had to have is the Spyderco Leaf Storm designed by Kevin Wilkins. Formerly a Graphic Designer from Germany, Kevin Wilkins has become one of the premier new knifemakers to hit the scene, with a full selection of kitchen knives in addition to the usual sporting varieties.
I reviewed this one on video a while back, and have finally gotten around to writing up a written review for the non-youtubers out there. My impression of the Caly 3 Carbon Fiber with ZDP-189 Laminate blade has matured a bit with ownership of this knife, but I still really like it.
I previously reviewed the older generation of C11 Delica, but the Generation 4 delica represents a major revision to this iconic knife from Spydero, and warrants a review. I also happened to receive the knife in a trade, so I figured, might as well!
