Spyderco Knives - Company info and History
Spyderco knives are different, peculiar, even out there. The knife industry established to a new and radical innovations to the knife culture such as One-hand opening, serrations on a folder and a clip to attach a knife to a pocket. Spyderco is dedicated to research and develop fresh, improved and better performing materials all with function and reliability being the key.The design of the knives of Spyderco is a recognizable appearance with a result of designing ergonomic functional tools rather than applying lipstick and nylons to a pocketknife. Making knives that consistently deliver reliable high-performance requires an ongoing commitment to testing. They examine the edge retention with a CATRA machine, to look for a rust development with Q-FOG, check the force needed to open and actively search for higher quality, performance enhancing steels and materials.
Spyderco knives are designed and built for use as cutting tools. Spyderco uses exclusively high-carbon stainless steels. High-carbon premium stainless steels provide superior edge retention but can rust if not correctly cared for. Spyderco warrants that all of the products are free from defects in materials and workmanship. Spyderco's warranty does not cover damage caused by abuse, misuse, loss, improper handling, alterations, accident, neglect, disassembly, or improper sharpening or normal wear.
