In 1981, Sal Glesser and his wife Gail revolutionized the knife industry. In the small town of Golden, not far from Colorado's capital Denver, they founded the Spyderco knife brand, which is now known worldwide. The C01 was the first series knife of the young company and pioneered the concept of the round recess in the blade, the so-called SpyderHole.
Also characterizing and shaping the knife market was the clip attached to the handle for the first time, with which the knife could be attached to the hem of the pants pocket. The optional serrated blade was also anything but common in pocket knives up to this point. Over the years, these and many other innovations have firmly established themselves in the knife market and literally defined the shape of the modern pocket knife. To this day, Spyderco stands out as a true pioneer, continually developing and testing new materials and mechanisms. In addition to countless conventional steels that Spyderco was the first manufacturer to use in the production of knife blades, the first pocket knife with a powder metallurgy blade also came from Golden.
Over the years, Spyderco has made a name for itself worldwide as an innovative manufacturer of high-quality pocket knives and fixed knives and is now the supplier of numerous police and military forces around the world. High-quality, modern materials are used in the precise manufacture of the knives. Low manufacturing tolerances and a high standard of workmanship inevitably lead to absolutely reliable and practical knives that stand up to tough use. In addition to a worldwide distribution network and production facilities in the USA, Europe and Asia, Spyderco's portfolio today also includes numerous international patents, trademarks and awards. But not only Spyderco's products are always of the highest quality, professionalism and loyalty also characterize our joint cooperation. We look forward to many future innovations and wish continued success!
