USA Made
Spyderco has called Golden, Colorado home since 1978, when Sal and Gail Glesser parked the bread truck for good. The factory on Spyderco Way now builds the company's flagship folders, and making them in house gives Spyderco direct control over quality, fast iteration through its Constant Quality Improvement process, and the premium steels that define the American lineup. Our Spyderco history tells how Golden became the heart of the brand.
USA Made Compression Lock Folders
Golden builds the knives that define modern Spyderco. The Paramilitary 2 and Para 3 carry the patented Compression Lock and full flat grinds, the Military 2 brings it to a full size frame, and the Shaman and Bodacious scale up for hard use with sculpted handles. Lightweight FRN versions of the PM2, Para 3, and Shaman shave ounces for everyday carry.
Golden Back Lock and Ball Bearing Lock Knives
The Native family runs a refined back lock across the Native 5, Lil' Native, and Native Chief, while the Manix 2 pairs standout ergonomics with the Ball Bearing Lock. The Yojimbo 2, MicroJimbo, UK Penknife, Swick, Smallfly 2, and the Autonomy 2 automatic round out the American catalog.
American Steels and Sprint Runs
Golden is where Spyderco puts its premium steels to work, from S45VN and MagnaCut to CPM SPY27, the proprietary Crucible steel reserved for USA production. The sprint run and dealer exclusive program adds 15V, S110V, Cru-Wear, Maxamet, and S90V in runs made once, and our comparison of every major knife steel sorts them out.
USA Made Salt Knives and Sharpeners
Golden also builds the MagnaCut and LC200N Salt Series models, the Z-Cut kitchen knives, and much of the sharpening line, including the Tri-Angle Sharpmaker that started it all. For the Japanese side of production, see the Seki City lineup, or browse all of Spyderco.
