2019 SPYDERCO REVEAL: VOLUME one
Welcome to the very first Spyderco “Reveal” and a new era in our
approach to announcing and marketing our newest products.
Reveals are periodic supplements to Spyderco’s main Product Guide that
officially announce our new products. They are designed to be kept with
your annual catalog to serve as a comprehensive printed reference of
Spyderco’s ever-evolving product line.
Because Reveals can be timed to closely correspond to in-stock
availability, they are a more accurate and efficient way of unveiling new
products. They will also work in concert with new-product information on
the Reveal page of our web site (Spyderco.com/reveal), our social media
platforms, product videos, and the Spyderco byte™ e-newsletter.
Spyderco always has a long list of new products in the works and we are
committed to making every one of them as perfect as it can possibly be.
Although different products invariably take different lengths of time to
develop, if you ask us how long till they’re ready, the answer will always
be the same: When they’re right.
Trust us. As we “get them right,” you’ll still be the first to know…

The best-selling Para 3 revolutionized the concept of the everyday-carry cutting tool by distilling Spyderco’s time-tested Para Military™ 2 into an
ultra-compact package. Now this design takes another quantum leap forward by incorporating injection-molded fiberglass-reinforced-nylon (FRN) scales, Spyderco’s high-traction Bi-Directional Texture pattern, and a streamlined version of our patented Compression Lock™ mechanism. This ultra-lightweight, open-backed handle construction reduces the knife’s weight by almost 30 percent compared to its G-10-handled counterparts. It is also home to a full-flat-ground blade crafted from CTS® BD1N, a nitrogen-enriched high-carbon chromium steel that offers a superior balance of hardness, edge retention, and corrosion resistance. A generously sized lanyard hole and a reversible deep-pocket wire clip round out the Para 3 Lightweight’s features, providing left or right-side tip-up carry.

The Gauntlet is a simple, easy-to-use sharpening system that enables even
novice users to achieve razor-sharp edges in just a few minutes without electricity, oil, water, or complicated clamps or fixtures. Its injection-molded, high-impact-plastic base has an integral handguard and specially designed holes that hold abrasive rods at the perfect 40-degree angle (20 degrees per side) to create keen, long-wearing edges. The star-shaped holes allow the rods to be turned to expose fresh abrasive surfaces or to orient the edges of the rods for sharpening serrated edges. Ideal for most sharpening needs, the Gauntlet Select includes a pair of fine ceramic rods. For very dull knives or to reprofile badly worn edges, the Gauntlet Premium includes both fast-cutting Cubic Boron Nitride (CBN) rods and fine ceramic rods. The CBN rods are also available separately.

Spyderco’s Endura has achieved near-legendary status in the
world of everyday-carry cutting tools. The latest variation of this model combines all the best-in-class qualities of the Endura 4 Lightweight with the extreme cutting power and versatility of a Wharncliffe blade. Available in either a PlainEdge™ or SpyderEdge™ format, its VG-10 stainless steel blade features a full-flat grind for exceptional edge geometry that further accentuates the performance of its Wharncliffe profile. It also showcases a fully accessible Trademark Round Hole™ and is backed by a rugged back lock mechanism, skeletonized stainless steel liners, Bi-Directional Textured™ injection-molded FRN handle scales, and a four-position pocket clip.
Designed from the ground up to be an affordably
priced, user-oriented folding knife, the Efficient has quickly earned a respected place in Spyderco’s line of Value Folders. To make it even better suited to the needs of tactical end users, we now offer it in an all-black configuration featuring a non-reflective black oxide blade coating and matching black liners and handle hardware. Available with a choice of a PlainEdge or CombinationEdge™ blade, it retains all the high-performance features of the original version, including a full-flat-ground 8Cr13MoV blade, index-finger choil, sturdy LinerLock mechanism, textured G-10 scales, a lined lanyard hole, and a reversible hourglass clip that can be configured for left or right-side tip-up carry.

Designed by Paul Alexander, a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering
and a lifelong knife enthusiast, the Ikuchi (pronounced ee-koo-chee; a mythical Japanese sea monster) is a thoroughly different approach to pocketknife form and function. Its elegantly curved handle is crafted with full, skeletonized stainless steel liners and carbon fiber/G-10 laminate scales. In the closed position, the handle’s slim, open-backed profile completely contains the knife’s blade—except for a small textured section of the tang that serves as a flipper opener. With a stroke of an index finger or thumb, the full-flat-ground CPM® S30V® stainless steel blade opens and locks securely via Spyderco’s patented Compression Lock™ mechanism. A reversible deep-pocket wire clip completes the package, providing discreet, left or right-side tip-up carry.

The Meerkat is a smaller scale, yet extremely capable folding knife with a secret—its
unusual Phantom Lock™ mechanism. Completely hidden within its handle, this novel mechanism locks the blade securely open and is released by pivoting the handle scales in opposite directions. To make this special Sprint Run™ Meerkat even more unique, it features a three-layer laminated blade with a V-Toku2 core flanked by stainless steel outer layers. A Japanese steel made with Swedish iron ore, V-Toku2 is alloyed with tungsten, vanadium, and chromium and is renowned for its toughness at high hardness. Like al l V-Toku2 Sprint Run models, this knife features fiberglass-reinforced-nylon (FRN) handle scales injection molded in the signature blue-gray color of this special series.
Abel Reels not only manufactures the world’s finest fishing tackle, they also embellish their products with a proprietary artistic
process that transforms them into extraordinary, fully functional works of art. Spyderco is proud to collaborate with Abel Reels on a unique series of knives that showcases the exceptional talents of both companies. The foundation of these knives is a remarkable variation of the Native 5 that features an ultra-corrosion-resistant LC200N blade and a handle precision machined from aircraft-quality aluminum. Once Spyderco’s manufacturing processes are complete, the handle components are sent to Abel Reels’ team of artists who hand paint them with special chemical dyes to create photorealistic patterns of popular game fish. Their incredibly painstaking multi-stage anodizing process takes many hours and, because it is entirely done by hand, makes every pattern a one-of-a-kind work of art. Abel is the only company in the world capable of performing this proprietary process and Spyderco is honored to partner with them in creating these heirloom-quality knives.
The Abel Reels Native 5s are sold exclusively by Abel Reels and are not available through Spyderco’s distribution network. For purchasing information, please contact Abel Reels directly at 970-249-0606, [email protected], or by visiting abelreels.com.
