Hello from Golden, Colorado: More than 30 years ago, Spyderco
Hello from Golden, Colorado: More than 30 years ago, Spyderco single-handedly defined the modern “tactical” folding knife. The dynamic combination of one-handed manual opening, a pocket clip, and the extreme cutting power of a serrated edge quickly made our knives the tools of choice of armed professionals, duty-bound personnel, and defense-minded citizens. Since then, both Spyderco and the knife community have matured and our groundbreaking design innovations have become standard features on most modern folding knives. Spyderco has also expanded the breadth and depth of our product offerings to meet the needs of the full spectrum of knife users. However, in the process, we have never lost touch with our duty-bound customers. To best meet the needs of military and law enforcement personnel, security professionals, first responders, and defense-minded civilians, Spyderco is proud to introduce our OpFocus™ catalog. This catalog presents the majority of our product line with a focus on the features that are most relevant to operational needs. This “operational focus” allows end users to quickly compare and evaluate our products to choose the knives and accessories that best fit your mission and training goals. Concurrent with the introduction of the OpFocus program, we have also restructured our marketing strategy. Our Director of Marketing/Public Relations, Joyce Laituri, still oversees the broad scope of our marketing efforts; however, media relations specifically focused on the tactical, law enforcement, and military markets are now being managed by Spyderco’s Special Projects Coordinator Michael Janich. Depending upon your specific needs and focus, please feel free to contact Joyce or Michael directly. Their contact information is included below. Thank you for your continued interest in Spyderco. We are excited to share our latest developments with you and look forward to working with you in 2012. We wish you continued success in all you do. Sincerely, The Spyderco Crew Joyce Laituri Director of Marketing/Public Relations 303-279-8383 x223 jlaituri@spyderco.com Michael Janich Special Projects Coordinator/OpFocus 303-279-8383 x111 mjanich@spyderco.com C10FPOR / C11FPOR – Endura 4 and Delica 4 Lightweight Orange Full-Flat Ground Spyderco’s best-selling Endura and Delica models helped pioneer the concept of lightweight clip-carry folders in the 1990s and have since become the standard by which all others are judged. Over years of service, they have also continued to evolve through Spyderco’s Constant Quality Improvement (C.Q.I.) initiative—a dedicated program to continue to make great products even better. The most recent result of this process is the Endura 4 and Delica 4 Full-Flat Ground with high-visibility orange handles. Both feature a flat-ground VG-10 stainless steel blade that provides superior edge geometry for friction-free cutting performance. Their handles are constructed of injection-molded fiberglass-reinforced-nylon supported by full-length skeletonized stainless steel liners. Bi-Directional Texturing ensures a secure grip and a four-position clip and sturdy back-lock mechanism make the Endura 4 and Delica 4 fully ambidextrous and configurable for all carry styles. Best of all, the bright orange handle makes it easy to locate and access in low-visibility environments and ensures that your knife can be easily found if accidentally dropped—even in water.

That’s why we’re committed to “constant quality improvement,” or C.Q.I. The Native 5 reflects that commitment, taking the proven size, shape, and ergonomics of the classic Native and rendering them with full-length, skeletonized stainless steel liners, textured black G-10 scales, and a four-position pocket clip that supports all carry positions. Its blade is full-flat ground from nitrogen-hardened CPM-S35VN steel, a highperformance particle metallurgy steel that features extreme edge retention and toughness. For the ultimate synthesis of strength and style, the fluted Titanium Native 5 boasts CNCfluted solid titanium handle scales. C41TIFP5 – MSRP $369.95. C41GP5 – MSRP $199.95.

Its unique blade features an oversized Spyderco hole and Cobra Hood™ attachment for swift, positive blade deployment, even while wearing heavy gloves. The blunt tip easily slides under seat belts, clothing, and other materials without endangering the victim and will not puncture flotation gear. Its serrated edge easily powers through the toughest materials, while still offering a small section of plain edge near the tip for detail work. The Assist’s Bi-Directional Textured™ FRN black handle, has finger grooves for a secure grip and to enable the blade to “scissor cut” rope and cord much like a cigar cutter. For window breaching, squeeze the Assist’s closed blade and a retractable carbide glass breaker extends from the butt of the handle. Available with either a black or high visibility orange handle, the original version of the Assist features a satin finish blade. For end users concerned about light discipline, Spyderco now offers a black-bladed Assist with a non-reflective titanium carbonitride blade coating. These features, plus a built-in survival whistle and reversible wire pocket clip, make the Assist the ultimate pocket tool for first responders, rescue personnel and armed professionals.

The refined ergonomics of the Yojimbo2 complement the natural contours of the hand, ensuring maximum surface contact and positive control. They also encourage a thumb-forward grip and make the 3-1/4-inch CPM-S30V blade a natural extension of the hand. The straight cutting edge of the hollowground blade offers extreme cutting performance by transferring power all the way to the tip and ensures improved point strength. Nested stainless steel liners provide structural strength and form the backbone of the knife’s high-strength compression lock mechanism. Textured G-10 scales and a fourposition clip guarantee a non-slip grip and rapid deployment from all carry positions.

Released in 2004, the Manix was an extremely stout back lock folding knife that quickly earned the loyalty of end users requiring extreme cutting performance and strength. In 2006, the full-sized C95 Manix inspired a smaller version called the C101, which retained the back lock mechanism and all the other salient features of the original, but in a handier, more compact package. This downsized version of the knife later served as the foundation of the popular Manix2. Although the Manix 2 is more than capable of tackling most cutting chores, some users still feel that “bigger is better” and requested the return of the full-sized Manix. To meet their needs and as part of Spyderco’s commitment to “Constant Quality Improvement” (C.Q.I.), we decided to combine the best of both designs. The result is the Manix2 XL—a faithful expression of the full-sized Manix incorporating our high-strength Ball Bearing Lock mechanism. The heart of the Manix2 XL is its flat ground CPM-S30V blade. Improved jimping on the thumb ramp and forefinger choil also provide a positive purchase for enhanced control and a large 14mm Trademark Spyderco Hole insures easy one-handed deployment, even while wearing gloves. Textured black G-10 scales and strategically placed jimping on the edges of the liners ensure a secure grip. An open-backed construction style also simplifies cleaning and maintenance. No matter what cutting chores you face, this stout folder is ready for anything.

Saber ground from premium CTS-BD1 stainless steel, it features full-tang construction for extreme strength. Its integral guard, textured G-10 scales, and ergonomic handle profile lock your hand securely in place, ensuring a solid, combat-worthy grip. Optional handle scale spacers (included) also allow you to adjust the handle girth to best fit the size of your hand. The curve of the blade is optimized to complement the natural arc of motion of the human arm, ensuring maximum energy transfer during a thrust. Sawteeth on the back of the blade support trapping and hooking tactics and make the Pygmy a devastatingly effective close-quarter tool. A custom-molded Boltaron® sheath provides a variety of carry options and ensures immediate access.
