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.

Don't let the name of this absolute classic scare you - this is not a combat knife or any other kind of military stabbing weapon. The Para Military 2 - or PM2 - is one of the most popular and versatile knives Spyderco has in its lineup.
Originally introduced in 2010, this all-around knife has been improved upon over the years, making this cutting tool an absolutely mature design by now.The incredibly ergonomic handle, is designed for maximum control when working with the knife and allows you a variety of ways to wield the blade.
Really great is the so-called Fingerchoil (an indentation at the base of the blade), which makes it possible for you to grip the knife very close to the cutting edge to transfer maximum force to the cutting movement. Thanks to the attached filings (jimping), you have an absolutely secure grip even in this position, and the knife never threatens to slip from your grasp thanks to the rough FRN surface of the handle.
The steel plates are recessed in the handle material and generously milled out to save weight. An absolute highlight of the PM2s is the Compression Lock. At first glance, this locking technology looks like a rear-positioned liner lock - but a closer look reveals that this is not the case. With the Compression Lock, the liner moves between the blade root and the stop pin on the back. To destroy this lock, the steel liner between the blade root and the pin would have to be crushed, which is virtually impossible. This construction makes the Para Military 2 one of the most stable pocket knives the market has to offer.
The blade is made of CPM 15V steel. The fully raised flat grind provides optimal cutting performance and the fine point allows you to do the finest detail work.
Thanks to the reversible pocket clip on both sides, the knife is ideal for both right and left-handed users, while the large lanyard hole allows you to attach a safety strap.

UKPK goes Salt
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 black G10 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 63 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.
