Information on Spyderco Knives
Just added the all black version of the Spyderco Manix 2 (model #: C101GPBBK2).
It features a 3.38″ black DLC coated 154CM steel blade and black G-10 handle scales. The adjustable pocket clip is also black. It also features Spyderco’s Ball Bearing Lock that is super strong.
Note: The May 2011 issue of Tactical Knives provides a very favorable review of this folder.
The new SuperLeaf design by Spyderco is in response to requests for a larger leaf-shaped folder.
The VG-10 blade features a flat-grind and is 3.44 inches long. The handle features black G-10 handle scales over skeletonized liners. It features a compression lock to lock the blade open. The pocket clip is adjustable for left or right side tip-up carry.
The Large Chinese Folder is a design of the late Bob Lum and features a flat-ground 3.75 inch VG-10 blade with a swedge along the blade’s spine. Like the SuperLeaf it also features black G-10 handle scales but the locking mechanism used is a locking liner. The black pocket clip is fully-adjustable for both left and right tip-up or tip-down pocket carry.
Spyderco has come out with a new and improved version of the Dragonfly known as the Dragonfly2.
Improvements include a wire clip that can be positioned for left or right hand carry, bi-directional texturing on the handle, spine and choil jimping, and screw together construction.
The flat gound blade is premium VG-10 steel and the handle is made from fiberglass reinforced nylon.
Currently, I only have the plain-edged version available.

The Assist I is Spyderco’s version of a rescue knife. It consists of a partially serrated VG-10 blade with a blunt tip to prevent injury when cutting seatbelts and the like.
A window breaking carbide tip in the butt of the FRN handle is retractable and can be accessed when the knife is closed by squeezing the blade deeper into the handle.
Finally, a survival whistle is included in handle’s spine.
The Assist is available with either a black or orange handle but I only have the black version available at this time.

Finally, I have some of the Spyderco Shabaria folders available. This is a unique knife featuring carbon fiber scales and a VG-10 steel blade.
Quantities are limited on this knife so you better get yours while they are available.

If you are looking for a knife with a non-locking blade then the Kiwi 3 from Spyderco should be on your list of possible choices.
The Kiwi 3 comes in two versions:
1) Spyderco Kiwi 3 Knife — Stainless Handle
2) Spyderco Kiwi 3 Knife — Stainless/Stag Handle
The 2.44 inch 8Cr13MoV wharncliffe style blade features a 2 inch plain cutting edge and a slip-joint pivot that provides resistance to closing.
