The Spyderco NAND is anything but ordinary. Designed by mechanical engineer Paul Alexander, this knife blends smart engineering with a unique, futuristic aesthetic.
What makes it stand out: the NAND doesn’t lock. It works like a modern friction folder, using an innovative ball-joint mechanism that holds the blade open without a locking system. And that’s exactly what makes it legal to carry in many places across Germany – a big plus for everyday use.
Specs that matter:
Blade steel: Böhler M398 – incredibly wear-resistant, stainless, and razor sharp
Wharncliffe blade shape – straight, precise, practical
Titanium handle – lightweight, strong, beautifully machined
Deep-carry wire clip – rides low in the pocket, barely noticeable
Reversible clip – for both left and right-hand carry
The NAND is probably the most advanced non-locking Spyderco ever made – a perfect example of how innovative a slipjoint-style knife can be today.

A Legend Returns
Picture this: late 1990s. Shoulder pads, brick-sized cell phones – and two old friends from Brooklyn sitting at a bar, talking knives. Bob Terzuola, the “Godfather of Tactical Folders,” and Sal Glesser, founder of Spyderco, set out to merge their design philosophies into one folding knife. The result? The iconic Spyderco Starmate. And now, it’s back as a limited Sprint Run edition.
The Starmate isn’t just another folder – it’s a piece of knife history you can carry. Terzuola’s original concept blended elements from his Advanced Technology Combat Folder with Spyderco’s CLIPIT platform. Sal Glesser helped bring that vision into full production. Together, they created a milestone in tactical folding knife design – and now celebrate more than 25 years of that legendary collaboration.
In hand, you get a highly capable working knife featuring a CPM 20CV blade – known for outstanding edge retention, excellent corrosion resistance, and impressive toughness. This is not a safe queen. It’s built to be used.
The hollow-ground blade with an elegant swedge cuts efficiently while maintaining a bold, tactical profile. The signature Spyderco Round Hole allows for smooth one-handed opening, whether you’re right- or left-handed.
The handle is made from textured black G-10 with nested stainless steel liners, delivering strength without unnecessary weight. A four-position pocket clip lets you configure carry exactly how you prefer – tip-up, tip-down, left, or right. There’s also a lanyard hole if you want to customize it further.
On the reverse side of the blade, you’ll find a special detail: Terzuola’s engraved dragon head logo, inspired by the Mayan god of flint tools. It’s more than decoration – it’s a mark of knife culture history.
The Starmate Sprint Run is produced only once and only in limited numbers. It comes with a durable nylon pouch and an information guide explaining the knife’s background. If you want to carry a true piece of modern knife legend in your daily life, this is it.
Spyderco Paramilitary 2 Lightweight – CTS BD1N
Fifty years of Spyderco do not stand for nostalgia – they stand for evolution. Since 1976, the company from Golden, Colorado has shaped the modern folding knife like few others. The pocket clip, the iconic Round Hole, the Compression Lock – innovations that are standard today started here. The Spyderco Paramilitary 2 Lightweight carries that legacy forward in a version deliberately optimized for real-world everyday carry.
The Lightweight configuration replaces traditional G10 with fiberglass-reinforced nylon (FRN) handle scales. This significantly reduces weight while maintaining structural strength and rigidity. The signature bi-directional texturing provides excellent grip in wet conditions, cold environments, or during demanding work tasks. The knife feels light in pocket, yet solid and controlled in hand – exactly what a serious EDC tool should deliver.
This version features CTS BD1N steel (sometimes incorrectly referred to as “CTS1 B1”). BD1N is a nitrogen-enhanced evolution of CTS BD1. The addition of nitrogen improves corrosion resistance and promotes a finer, more uniform carbide structure. The result is a well-balanced performance steel offering strong edge retention, excellent rust resistance, and easy maintenance in the field. For everyday use – from humid coastal climates to workshop environments – BD1N proves to be highly practical and reliable.
The blade retains the proven full-flat ground drop point profile, delivering clean slicing performance across cardboard, packaging, wood, cordage, and daily utility tasks. The pronounced thumb ramp with jimping adds extra control for precise cuts. The Paramilitary 2 is not built as a display piece – it is engineered as a working tool.
At the core remains the Compression Lock, a Spyderco-designed mechanism that allows safe one-handed operation while keeping fingers clear of the blade path. Over decades of refinement, it has become one of the most respected locking systems in production knives, combining strength, reliability, and smooth functionality.
As Spyderco celebrates its 50-year anniversary, the Paramilitary 2 Lightweight with CTS BD1N represents the company’s philosophy perfectly: continuous refinement instead of short-lived trends. A lightweight, technically mature EDC knife trusted worldwide and regarded as one of the most relevant everyday folding knives on the market.
The Spyderco Paramilitary 2 Lightweight CTS BD1N is not a stripped-down alternative – it is a purpose-driven evolution of a modern classic. Refined over five decades. Built for daily performance.

It's no big secret that the laws regarding knives and carrying them in public are much stricter in Europe than in the USA. However, Spyderco was one of the first major manufacturers to take on this problem and create a kind of European classic in its own range with the UKPK (UK Penknife), which even meets the very strict laws in the UK.
Here two important factors come together: although you can open the UKPK - thanks to the Spyderholes - one-handed, but the blade is not locked in the open state, but is held by a powerful back spring (similar to a Swiss Army knife). This allows you to carry the UKPK perfectly legally. Yet despite its small size, lack of a lock, and extremely lightweight construction, the UKPK is a highly functional pocket knife. The thin blade proves to be a real cutting devil in everyday EDC use thanks to the raised flat grind and shows that Spyderco really had a cutting tool in mind here and not a folding crowbar. The Magnacut used in this version is extremely corrosion resistant and can therefore be used even under the most unfavorable conditions.
The bright yellow FRN (Fiber Reinforced Nylon) handle scales, which you might no from other salt series knives, do not require steel plates underneath and ensure a construction that is as light as it is strong. At just 48 grams, the UKPK is hardly bulky in your pocket. The deep-carry pocket clip can be mounted on the left or right side, which makes the knife interesting for left-handers as well.
All in all, you get with the UKPK a really highly suitable EDC pocket knife which not only complies with local legislation, but also proves to be a loyal companion.
Spyderco Moran Upswept Gray Damasteel® Sprint Run – Celebrating 30 Years of Moran x Spyderco (FB01PGYD)
If you’re looking for a knife that doesn’t just cut but carries a piece of history,
this is it. This limited Sprint Run model celebrates the
30th anniversary of the very first collaboration between Spyderco and
legendary bladesmith Bill Moran.
History & Significance
In 1995, Spyderco teamed up with William F. “Bill” Moran – co-founder of the American Bladesmith Society
and one of the driving forces behind modern Damascus steel – to create the first fixed-blade Spyderco knife.
The iconic “Featherlight” marked the beginning of a design partnership that changed the knife world.
This anniversary edition pays tribute to that moment:
classic Moran design, modern materials, and that special collector’s thrill
only a true Sprint Run can deliver.
What Does Sprint Run Mean?
For Spyderco, a Sprint Run is a single, limited production batch of a specific configuration.
Once this edition is sold out, it will not be produced again in this exact form.
For collectors and fans of exclusive materials, Sprint Runs are the holy grail of production knives.
Highlights of the Moran Upswept Gray Damasteel®
Blade: Damasteel® Dense Twist DS93X – modern, stainless Damascus with striking pattern
Grind: Full Flat Grind – lightweight, precise, and highly efficient
Handle: Gray FRN with black Kraton inlays – lightweight, grippy, and practical
Limited: Sprint Run = one-time, limited edition in this exact configuration
Sheath: Premium leather sheath included
Origin: Made in Japan
Why This Knife Stands Out
The Spyderco Moran Upswept Gray Damasteel® Sprint Run brings together
30 years of knife history, an iconic design, and modern materials in a
collectible anniversary edition.
Ideal for collectors, outdoor users, and EDC enthusiasts alike –
and a piece of Spyderco heritage you won’t see again in this configuration.
Availability
As with all Sprint Runs:
once this edition is gone, it’s gone for good.
If this knife is on your wish list, don’t wait too long.
Odd Spike
Just when you think you’ve seen every knife shape, Spyderco comes around the corner with something truly quirky. The Spyderco COBO (a Paul Alexander design) is exactly the little freak in your collection that you might not have had – and that’s why you’ll love it. 42a compliant, a bit weird but extremely functional. The blade is classic Spyderco: sharp, reliable, and ready for anything your daily routine throws at it. And the titanium handle with integrated backspring? Feels better in the hand than you’d expect from such an unusual design. A knife that stands out – but not out of your pocket. If you’re looking for an EDC that brings a smile to your face and actually performs, the COBO will give you serious fun.
