A.G. Russell Knives

This knife is unique in that the front of the fiberglass reinforced handle has a clip (with a steel core) which allows the knife to be clipped to your clothing or gear for easy access.

We are often told that big things come in small packages. Spyderco's® Poliwog seems to prove that rule. At first this knife seems small, but when in your hand it feels and cuts like a large blade. The Poliwog features Spyderco's open-end Ball Bearing Lock, one of the strongest of all of their locking mechanisms.

This Carbon Fiber model is Spyderco's® 18th version of their limited Kopa series which was introduced in 2005. Like the other seventeen, this version is limited to a total of 600 pieces.

Spyderco has few rivals when it comes to their ergonomic hard-working knives. Their R&D team "designs in the dark", meaning function and comfort outweighs looks any day. The Native III is a prime example of this.

Spyderco will undoubtedly fulfill many knife lovers ideal knife picks with the introduction of the Waved Endura. Waved models combine all that's functional and performance-based in a Spyderco folder with the Wave Blade-Opening feature made popular and patented by Ernest Emerson of Emerson Knives. The Wave is a hook curving out the top of the knife's blade.

The Salsa launched Spyderco's line of Little Big Knives beginning the company's trend toward small to medium sized knives capable of large knife performance. This aluminum Salsa comes with a lightweight blue anodized aluminum handle scales that resist scratching and pitting. Nested into the scale is a Compression Lock, outfitting the little knife with big knife lock strength.

Spyderco's® Kopa Series continues to grow with the latest version having Squash colored Jigged Bone handle scales (both sides). The Kopa Series is Spyderco's first collection of refined gentlemen's folders and the plan is to limit the collection to 18 variations of handle scales.

From the manufacturer:

Eighteen-pocket SpyderPac is an impressive and safe way to carry and display your knife collection. It's half the size of the large SpyderPac and fits neatly in a suitcase or portfolio.

Created exclusively for A.G. Russell™ and Russell's for Men™ by Santa Fe Stoneworks, this Spyderco® Kiwi blends the traditional Spyderco® with the traditional lockback folder. Handsome black jet inlaid with diagonal bands of nickel silver and an embedded square of luscious abalone make this a class act.

Recently, Spyderco introduced a new line of folders they call SLIPITS. These are non-locking slip-joint knives from a company that has built a reputation on lockbacks, but also, more importantly, on quality. The Bug, not much larger than a bumble bee, is the first Spyderco® Slipit.

The Kopa Series introduced Spyderco’s first collection of refined gentlemen’s folders. The completed series will be made up of exceptionally unique handle variations of the same model knife. Spyderco has been unveiling a new Kopa approximately every 3-4 months. Although each release represents a separate model, Kopas all have a common thread; their stainless handles are individually fitted with exotic inlays.

"Only 4 Left!."

Limited to 600 pieces of each handle material, Spyderco's® ongoing Kopa Series launched in 2005 continues to grow. The Kopa Series introduced Spyderco's first collection of refined gentlemen's folders. The completed series will be made up of exceptionally unique handle variations of the same model knife.

The C123 Sage represents Spyderco’s 30-year pledge to knife crafting and learnin to make better knives at every available opportunity The plan is to offer an ongoing series of Sage Folders with many of the different and ingenuous locking devices and mechanisms the knife industry has to offer.

The Tenacious is the first main line Spyderco® to be made in China. The quality is similar to Japanese or American produced Spyderco® knives and the price is much lower.

Spyderco® calls the SPIN a runt. Like many so called runts this one is a pretty tough cookie! Designed by Eric Glesser, who is an important part of the Spyderco engineering and design team, to be the smallest possible folder with the largest possible cutting edge. It is obvious that Eric has learned much from his father (Sal Glesser, founder of Spyderco), but it is equally obvious that he brings his own interpretation to knife design.

Based on the background green found in the U.S. Army's Digital Cammo, the military foliage green Endura4 is designed for both military and civilians. The color is a shade-shifting mix of gray and green that effectively disappears into its surroundings.

The unusual look and style of this knife will draw your attention again and again. The designer, Jason Breeden, says "My designs are born from need I've experienced. I live in the Appalachian Mountains and am regularly outdoors or in water. A recurve blade has cutting advantages in water but I also wanted a strong tip for outdoor applications." Spyderco included a Round Hole resulting in the Spyderco/Jason Breeden Captain.

"Pikal" is a word that comes from the Visayan dialect in the Phillipines and means "to rip". It is a martial arts genre accomplished by holding the knife in reverse grip with the sharpened edge facing inward toward the user. The P'Kal knife is a collaboration with Shivworks designed with this in mind.

This may be Spyderco's smallest folder, but what it lacks in size it makes up for with style and usability. It is a workhorse of a knife featuring an all stainless steel handle with an etched design to improve grip, a Spyderco round hole for ambidextrous opening, and a right hand tip-down clip. This knife can do just about anything you ask of it, from close in detail work, opening mail or just cleaning fingernails.

Spyderco will undoubtedly fulfill many knife lovers ideal knife picks with the introduction of the Waved Delica and Endura. Waved models combine all that's functional and performance-based in a Spyderco folder with the Wave Blade-Opening feature made popular and patented by Ernest Emerson of Emerson Knives.

Very similar in style to the very popular Spyderco "Q" from the late 90's, the "S" blade is made using MIM technology, the latest in metal injection molded blade construction. The blade features a web cutout radiating from the patented round hole for one-hand opening.

The Caly3 was exclusive to Spyderco's UK distributor for the first year. In that time it built a strong demand in this country.

Spyderco's® Ladybug 3 is a newer version of a model that has been around nearly as long as the company itself. The size makes it a perfect key chain knife, but unlike most, it is a serious working tool.

A favorite with just about everyone. They have stainless steel handle with a pocket clip.

The knife and diving world has searched for years for a steel with high-performance cutting abilities that cannot rust. A Japanese steel foundry recently introduced H1, a steel that fits those specifications. H1 is a PH steel, meaning it is a precipitation-processed alloy, that's rolled hard without heat-treating and has .1% nitrogen which acts like carbon, but does not react to chlorine to make rust. Surprisingly, it holds a sharpened cutting edge comparable to the premium knife steels being used in the industry today.

Spyderco tells us that the Poliwog CLIPIT's open-end Ball Bearing Lock is one of the strongest of all of their locking mechanisms. This is from a company who is known for their attention to the strength and functionality of their knives. Pulling back on the ball unlocks the blade from either side.

I have always admired the triangular rods of Sal's Sharpmaker but did not like the wide angle he used. I see that he now incorporates the 30° angle that I like so well as his basic angle and still includes the 40° angle that used for the edge on thicker blades or to add a micro-bevel to a properly sharpened edge.

A favorite with just about everyone. They have black fiberglass reinforced nylon resin handle with a pocket clip.

In 2005, Spyderco® launched their Kopa series which has been made up of approximately three knives per year with exceptionally unique handle variations. This version has a multi piece inlay of white Mother-of-Pearl with contrasting and colorful abalone stripes. Very striking.

What the folders lack in size, they make up with their design and usefulness. Both the Dragonfly and the Cricket feature an all stainless steel handle with an etched design to improve grip, a David Boye Dent, a Spyderco round hole for ambidextrous opening, and a right hand tip-up clip.

In 2002, Spyderco® created an exciting little knife that blends the traditional Spyderco® with the traditional lockback folder. The bolsters and caps, the liners and the mid-lock are traditional folder. The blade shape, the handle shape and the hole in the blade are traditional Spyderco®.

From the Manufacturer:

"To stretch is the act of extending or drawing out beyond ordinary or normal limits, which describes exactly what Spyderco's C90 Stretch Clipit does. Designed chiefly for the hunter but its technologically advanced design and size comfortably expand into a refined cutting tool for any outdoor activity and it's sized suitable for everyday carry."
