Spyderco Endura Knives are favorite everyday carry and work knife for folks who are serving and saving professionals as well as many other hands-on professions. Last year they gave it a new flat grind and changed the blade steel to VG10. The scales are black FRN with a volcano grip texture and it has the standard David Boye locking lever dent. The black clip can be positioned for left/right tip up carry.
The Spyderco Ladybug 3 attaches to your keychain and is nearly as small as your car keys. The Ladybug is one of Spyderco’s smallest lightweight locking knives. It is made of VG-10 stainless steel, the hollow ground blade comes in a PlainEdge configuration. This modified clip-point blade style is matched up with a black, lightweight handle of fiberglass-reinforced nylon resin making the entire knife weigh only 0.6 of an ounce. The LBK3 doesn’t have a clip but rather a lanyard hole for attachment to a keychain or lanyard. Like its larger counterparts (and all Spyderco knives) the Ladybug3 packs tremendous cutting power and can take on both fine and heavy cutting tasks.
The second-generation Salt 2 takes all the advanced features of the best-in-class Delica 4 folding knife and supercharges them with martensitic blade steel and a low-friction, full-flat grind.

It is supported by a high-strength back lock mechanism housed in an injection-molded FRN handle.

Spyderco’s Tri-Angle Sharpmaker includes two sets of high Alumina Ceramic 7″ stones: medium grit for aggressive sharpening and fine grit for professional-grade finishing. Stones fit into keyed holes and a set of brass safety rods protect the user’s hand during sharpening. The triangular shape allows honing of serrated and plain edges. Slots molded into the polymer base have a 40- and 30-degree angle for knives and a 12.5-degree scissor setting. A groove running the length of the stone is for sharpening pointed objects like darts, awls and fishhooks while a channel on the flipside allows for a bench stone-type set up. Includes instruction book and video.
The Doublestuff is the 303F (fine grit) and the 303M (medium grit) bonded together to create a tool with a variety of sharpening options.

The ARK-or ,Always Ready Knife,-was conceived by U.S. Army combat veteran John Shirley and his friend Sam Owens as a lightweight self-defense tool that could be carried anywhere. Also suited to daily utilitarian use, its deeply curved clip point blade packs impressive cutting power into a compact envelope. The ARK’s ultra-corrosion-resistant PlainEdge blade is hollow ground from H-2 steel and paired with a durable fiberglass-reinforced-nylon (FRN) handle. Molded directly onto the tang, it features a Bi-Directional Texture pattern to guarantee a non-slip grip, even with wet hands.
The stout, all-purpose design of the Bodacious makes it an ideal choice for dutybound end users and those who may operate in tactical environments where light discipline is a concern. To eliminate its reflective properties, the all-black Bodacious features a Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) coating on its blade and matching black coatings on the handle liners, clip, and all other hardware. It is available with a PlainEdge blade or, for optimal cutting of fibrous materials, a fully serrated SpyderEdge blade.
Designed by Spyderco co-founder and Blade Magazine Hall of Fame member Sal Glesser, the Bodacious is named after an American bucking bull that became famous as the world’s most dangerous bull. Inspired by that legendary animal’s indomitable spirit and impressive strength, their Bodacious is a hell-for-stout folding knife designed for unfailing reliability. Its broad, leaf-shaped blade is full-flat ground from their proprietary CPM SPY27. Developed in close cooperation with Crucible Industries, this state-of-the-art powder metallurgy steel supercharges the cobalt-enriched chemistry of VG-10 stainless steel with niobium, nitrogen, and increased volumes of carbon, molybdenum, and vanadium. The resulting material offers an exceptional balance of edge retention, toughness, corrosion resistance, and ease of sharpening. The knife’s signature cobalt blue handle is built on a framework of skeletonized stainless steel liners nested within smooth G-10 scales. In addition to providing structural strength, the liners form the foundation of the knife’s high-strength Compression Lock mechanism and provide a secure mounting platform for its broad-based pocket clip, which is reversible for left or right-side tip-up carry.
The Syderco Byrd Harrier 2 resurrects and refines the classic design of the Harrier to offer a practical everyday carry cutting tool.

The handle features textured G-10 scales, minimalist nested stainless steel liners, a stainless steel back spacer, sturdy back lock mechanism and a four-position clip that offers all possible carry options.
