If you're a fan of large knives made in the USA, the new Bodacious might become your new favorite. Boasting an overall length of 8.27" with a large 3.66" (93mm) blade in CPM S30V steel, it's big. At a glance, it seems that we finally have a contender to run against the Spyderco Shaman and the Manix 2 XL. Spyderco claims it is an "ideal choice for dutybound end users" and an all-black DLC version to satisfy the needs of operators within tactical environments. Designed by Blade Magazine Hall of Fame member Sal Glesser (co-founder of Spyderco). The Bodacious name hails from an American bucking bull that gained fame as "the world's most dangerous bull." It is without doubt that the Bodacious is strong and will be able to handle impressive tasks backed by the same reliability that has come to make Spyderco Knives a household name. 

My fellow fisherman, you're going to love this! Originally introduced in 1992, the Catcherman emerged as a folding fillet knife tailored to the discerning needs of anglers. Amongst dedicated Spyderco collectors, it attained cult status as one of the final models to feature an integrated molded pocket clip. This exclusive Sprint Run reimagines the design in a manner distinct from its predecessors. For the first time, its slender blade is fully flat-ground and crafted from highly corrosion-resistant LC200N steel. The partly serrated CombinationEdge™ blade is complemented by a single-piece fiberglass-reinforced-nylon (FRN) handle, produced in the signature vibrant green found in our LC200N lightweight models. It remains faithful to the original Volcano Grip™ texture on one side, while also incorporating an integrated pocket clip on the other side for right-side, tip-up carry. The Catcherman is rocking a very thin, 0.070-inch (1.8mm) by 4.64-inch (118mm) blade and hails from Spyderco Japan. 

It has been awesome to watch the Spyderco Lil' Native walk the walk and talk the talk. It's gained a more popular stance within the knife community throughout 2023 and for super good reasons. Proving that smaller knives for EDC can be just as worthy of tasking as much as their big brothers and sisters. The initial concept behind the Lil’ Native knife was to deliver the same dependable performance and trustworthiness found in Spyderco's iconic Native® model but in an incredibly compact form featuring a 2.5-inch blade that complies with legal requirements across government buildings and meeting strict knife laws in some parts of the globe. Building on this legacy, Spyderco is pleased to introduce the Lil’ Native Lightweight. This impressive folding knife retains the Lil’ Native Back Lock design while reducing its weight by a massive 40 percent through the use of handle scales constructed from fiberglass-reinforced nylon (FRN). These injection-molded scales offer an improved grip with their Bi-Directional Texture pattern and accommodate a deep-pocket wire clip, allowing for both left and right-side tip-up carry options. The blade of the knife, crafted from full-flat ground CTS BD1N stainless steel, features an easily accessible Trademark Round Hole™ (that we all love) for effortless one-handed opening with either hand, even in gloves. Available in both PlainEdge or SpyderEdge variations, this exceptionally lightweight cutting tool stands in a league of its own. It even comes in a solid black version for those covert nights when you need to pull a lightweight folding knife from your tuxedo to cut the ribbon off of your secret bottle of Scotch.

There is nothing quite like the beauty of patina across some earth-toned micarta scales and it looks like Spyderco agrees because we are lucky enough to see 4 new USA-made models dressed in brown canvas micarta (thank you Spyderco!) que the smell of leather and aged mahogany. We love the blend of traditional and modern materials on a tool capable of lasting a lifetime. The canvas collection will be full-production models so if you're game, they will be around for you to have. Coined as the Cru-Carta model(s). Spyderco has also paired this ball-bearing lock knife with one of the coolest steels for EDC, Cruwear. So bring on the tasks and show it off because this knife will remain capable for a long time between sharpening

Check out the Manix 2 Lightweight Salt, which proudly brings together all the well-established attributes of this iconic design, featuring a full-flat-ground MagnaCut blade and hardware that's exceptionally resistant to corrosion. If you live in the humid South or work on a ship or near a beach, you are most likely already aware of the Spyderco Salt lineup. This knife lineup is also great if you're a heavy sweater (looking at you; landscapers). Its handle is made of fiberglass-reinforced copolymer (FRCP) and is molded in a vibrant yellow hue to ensure high visibility. It also incorporates Spyderco's distinctive Bi-Directional Texture pattern, enhancing grip security for aquatic environments and fish gut, oily-ridden hands. For convenience, it comes equipped with a reversible tip-up wire clip, the iconic, patented Ball Bearing Lock™, and a readily accessible Trademark Round Hole in the blade, allowing for ambidextrous operation with bare hands or gloved fingers, heck; you can even operate it with a band-aid on your thumb because these things are sharp right out of the box.

If your arms are working with hands the size of Lebron James or just enjoy large knives, you've probably already handled the Manix 2 XL. Boasting a 3.85-inch (98mm) blade for an overall length of 8.94-inches (227mm) this knife means business but still manages to ride nicely and quietly in the pocket. The second knife in Spyderco's new micarta lineup we are sure this won't sit on the shelf for long at all. If you've not yet owned a knife in CPM Cru-Wear, we highly recommend you give this a shot. Cru-Wear steel has an excellent balance of edge retention, toughness, corrosion resistance, and wear resistance and still manages to be sharpened easily. 

Honestly, I am personally so stoked about this micarta knife lineup that it's hard to not bore you all with images of knives with classy patina, leather-bound books, and glasses of whiskey. Spyderco ensures us that the micarta scales are sanded smooth and left unpolished, so they'll take on a patina the moment you start using it. 

Behold the 4-inch (102mm) CPM Cru-Wear Blade Military 2 dressed up in Brown Canvas Micarta! This is the third Micarta production model in the new lineup. Introduced in 1996, the Spyderco Military 2 is considered one of the most iconic and recognizable knives ever produced. Made in the good ol' USA and featuring skeletonized, stainless steel liners for weight reduction. This large knife weighs in at only 4.3oz (122g). So, whether you are trail jogging, cutting open an MRE (yum), or simply gliding the Cruwear blade through an Amazon box, this knife is up for the task, no matter how hard. We are looking forward to this model hitting our shelves and then jumping into our hands and pockets. The Spyderco Military 2 was already brewing with character and now that we get Micarta scales! It'll surely feel at home from the field to the table. 

A Swiss Spyderco?! Förvåna!  You won't find this one sitting on the REC shelves but you can be sure to find it in our hands. This one comes directly from our friends at Spyderco Knives. Amongst the most distinctive Mule Team blades ever offered, the MT40 Mule is crafted from High-Impact Ceramic (HIC), an advanced Ceramic Injection Molding (CIM) material. This remarkable substance was developed by Harcane Industries of Switzerland and exhibits considerably greater resistance to breakage compared to traditional ceramics. It has been meticulously engineered to achieve optimal density during sintering, resulting in remarkable toughness, and a high degree of resistance to crack propagation. This proprietary material also surpasses steel blades in terms of hardness, allowing it to deliver exceptional cutting performance and edge retention. As this blade is produced through an injection-molding process, it features a full tang with only the necessary holes for mounting handle scales, eliminating the additional weight-reduction holes found in steel Mules. It's important to note that all Mule Team blades are exclusively available for direct purchase by consumers and can be acquired either at the Spyderco Factory Outlet or through Spyderco.com and at a $150 MSRP, it is sure to be a hit.

The Native Chief Lightweight Salt is the harmonious fusion of the lightweight Native Chief platform with the extraordinary qualities inherent in CPM MagnaCut steel. This steel is celebrated for its unmatched edge retention, impressive toughness, and exceptional corrosion resistance, making it an excellent choice for those who demand peak performance from their blades. It's also perfect for folks who live in high humidity or work near....wait for it... Salt! The Native Chief Lightweight Salt can also be found bladed in LC200N and Spyderco's signature green color. Both steels are an excellent choice for those who live and or work near corrosive environments. 
The blade itself is meticulously designed with a full-flat ground profile, ensuring an optimal edge geometry that's poised for precision and efficiency. For added flexibility, it's available in both Plainedge and SpyderEdge configurations, catering to the diverse needs and preferences of knife enthusiasts. The blade's reliability is further underscored by a precision-machined back lock, providing a secure and confidence-inspiring locking mechanism that you can count on throughout hard and heavy use.
The handle of the Native Chief Lightweight Salt takes a linerless approach but is crafted through injection molding using vibrant yellow or signature green fiberglass-reinforced nylon (FRN). This not only contributes to the knife's lightweight profile but also infuses it with a distinctive look and feel and it's super easy to see if you drop it.
One key hallmark of the Native Chief Lightweight Salt, characteristic of the entire Salt Series, is its commitment to durability in corrosive environments. The hardware used in crafting this knife is exclusively sourced from ultra-corrosion-resistant materials, ensuring that it can withstand the rigors of maritime, outdoor, and high-humidity settings while maintaining its performance and appearance over the long term.
The Native Chief Lightweight Salt is a testament to Spyderco's dedication to producing a knife that excels in diverse conditions and offers a truly customizable and reliable cutting tool for outdoor enthusiasts and everyday users alike and from us at REC, we cannot wait for this knife. 

As most of you already know, REC is no stranger to the PM2. We have produced exclusives with Spyderco and are really looking forward to this new batch. The Para Military 2 stands as one of Spyderco's most beloved and iconic designs. Chances are, if you're reading this, you probably already own one. It's only fitting that this knife serves as the perfect canvas to showcase an exclusive blade steel—CPM SPY27. This extraordinary steel was developed through close collaboration with Crucible® Industries and is unique to Spyderco.
CPM SPY27 takes the trusted alloy formula of VG-10 stainless steel and elevates it by incorporating niobium and nitrogen, along with additional carbon, molybdenum, and vanadium. This steel benefits from Crucible's advanced particle metallurgy process, offering a refined and superior composition.
To further accentuate the excellence of this special blade steel, the knife's handle is adorned with textured G-10 scales in a distinctive cobalt blue. This hue is one of the signature colors associated with the SPY27 family of knives, adding a touch of elegance to this remarkable blade that is perfect for EDC (everyday carry).

CPM MagnaCut is a groundbreaking knife steel that defies the conventions of traditional metallurgy, providing an exceptional equilibrium of edge retention, toughness, and unparalleled corrosion resistance. Through extensive in-house testing, Spyderco has confirmed its suitability for inclusion in the esteemed Salt® Series of knives and we are very excited to see it getting used across more knives. 
The blade on this Para Military 2 Salt fully capitalizes on the exceptional qualities of MagnaCut. Carefully ground flat to optimize edge geometry, it pairs seamlessly with a handle decorated with G-10 scales, featuring alternating layers of black and yellow. The distinctive Spyderco Caribbean Bi-Directional Texture™ pattern is intricately machined into the scale surfaces, revealing the contrasting yellow layer beneath, enhancing visibility, and ensuring a secure, non-slip grip.
Remaining true to its Salt theme, the knife incorporates nested liners, a fully configurable four-position pocket clip, and all other hardware crafted from marine-grade materials that fearlessly withstand corrosion. This meticulous attention to detail ensures that this knife is well-suited to marine and high-humidity environments, upholding its performance and aesthetics in the face of corrosive challenges.

Welcome the new Para 3, the fourth knife in Spyderco's brown canvas Micarta lineup. Boasting the iconic and well-known 2.92-inch (74mm) blade in Cru-Wear we deem this the perfect blend for EDC tasks. With the combo of brown canvas Micarta scales and the gently rolled spine, we are truly looking forward to watching these age in the hands of folks everywhere.

To take its capabilities to even greater heights, this exceptional knife now offers a blade forged from Spyderco's exclusive CPM SPY27 stainless steel.
SPY27 is based on the proven VG-10 stainless steel alloy with added carbon, molybdenum, vanadium, niobium, and nitrogen content. Crucible Industries' state-of-the-art particle metallurgical manufacturing process ensures that these alloys are evenly distributed throughout the steel, resulting in a very consistent microstructure that maximizes performance. In short, this means the chocolate chips are spread out evenly throughout the cookies!
To distinguish this knife as a proud member of Spyderco's prestigious SPY27 family, its handle is adorned with peel-ply-textured G-10 scales in a unique cobalt blue color, creating a distinct and recognizable identity for this Para 3.

Carpenter® Technology's Micro-Melt® Maxamet is a remarkable tool steel originally developed to roll red-hot steel billets in Carpenter's steel mills. So it's tough enough to open your boxes, cut carpet fiber, and slice through that summer sausage you plan on devouring later. Spyderco stands as the sole knife manufacturer that has successfully mastered the intricate qualities of this challenging material, allowing Spyderco to prominently feature it in their production knives.
Spyderco's latest addition to the prestigious Maxamet family is the Sage 5 Lightweight, which proudly showcases this incredibly hard and ultra-tough material in its full-flat-ground blade. It is seamlessly integrated into a lightweight handle featuring Spyderco's distinctive Bi-Directional Texturing.
The remaining attributes of the Sage 5 Lightweight remain consistent with the standard version, including the presence of nested, skeletonized stainless steel liners, a robust Compression Lock, injection-molded fiberglass-reinforced-nylon (FRN) scales, and a reversible deep-pocket wire pocket clip.

In walks the SpyMyto™ in M398, a folding knife that's truly one of a kind, born from the inspiration of the lionSTEEL® Myto™ and crafted exclusively for Spyderco by lionSTEEL. It features a hollow-ground, drop-point design, forged from M398—an advanced iteration of Böhler-Uddeholm's renowned M390 steel, engineered to achieve remarkable hardness and exceptional wear resistance.
The blade boasts a host of features, including a fully accessible Trademark Round Hole, a removable flipper opener, ball-bearing pivot washers, and a gracefully radiused spine. The SpyMyto's handle is a work of art in itself, with a linerless green Micarta scale on one side and a solid titanium scale on the other. This titanium scale forms the foundation of the knife's robust Reeve Integral Lock (R.I.L.) mechanism, complete with a hardened steel interface and an overtravel stop (source. Spyderco).
Both the Micarta and Titanium scales are crafted with textured chamfers, and they come together seamlessly, thanks to the carbon fiber backspacer. To cater to your carry preferences, a reversible deep-pocket clip is thoughtfully mounted on the handle's butt end, offering the convenience of left or right-side tip-up carry.
This extraordinary knife marks the debut of a Flash Batch—an exclusive, one-of-a-kind release of a model that has never been offered before.
