Gotta love Eric Glesser's enthusiasm! Spyderco always brings new steels out in different models. Their prices are not over the top either. Why they are and will continue to be my favorite knives!

[@cloakofshadow1]

Eric's slowly becoming the wizard we all want to be buying our +5 daggers from!

[@andyhayward1261]

When will he come out with the Spyderco Vorpal sword 😂

[@mrj3711]

​@@andyhayward1261♥

[@12345678927164]

Hell yes. The steel Godking.

[@Bethany415]

I love watching Eric talk knives. He's got such a passion for the craft. And you just have to know Spyderco is stuffed with knife nerds. The company couldn't be that consistent without being full of talented folk. Shout out to all y'all we don't get to see - your care is very much appreciated.

[@keithbrown9198]

i never thought I would own a Spyderco knife. Then I bought one. Then another one... I now own three. Love them all!!!

[@Commander_Cody7]

Seeing Eric be so enthusiastic about Spyderco is super awesome

[@ArmandoJF33]

There are people who make knives and there are Knifemakers. Mr. Glesser is a knifemaker. He knows his steels and shares the process and concept. This is why I will always support Spyderco.

[@rognuald9007]

I would love to see more G-10 Magnacut models. Plain black scales would be fine.

[@cvdubya5774]

And satin blades. Patiently waiting for the PM2 Salt with the black scales and satin blade

[@NotDave_x]

That magnacut sage 5 is EXACTLY what I've been hoping for.

[@ayobro3055]

I'm sad because I bought the S30 version last year. now I want this :(

[@redbullbundy]

Eric is awesome. He was literally born in spyderco. They talk about his pack and play was in the office. Sal and Eric have consistently made the greatest knife company. Spyderco has been my favorite since my first real knife a dragonfly when they first was released in the early 90s.

[@12345678927164]

Now this is an actual knife company that knows the speed of innovation without any gimmicks. And the heat treats are always amazing. Great work Spyderco!

[@Cyanoblades]

Eric is such a nice, humble guy.

[@Judd_SC]

Got to talk with Sal for a long time on Friday. He was so full of knowledge an very nice. He geeked out on the spy27. I took home a military 2 in spy27. Had a great time at blade this year!

[@paullambert4445]

My favorite knife company by far! Thanks 🎸🔪

[@rossmather9497]

I love the love that the Sage 5 is getting this year.

[@fredp1983]

Damn~~~~ I want that Sage rex121!

[@moneyballbingo]

awesome visit

[@krispybeats6615]

spyderco is the only company that makes you want to buy every knife on the table 🤣💪

[@pmHondaSzybszaNizWyglada]

I love Spyderco knives❤

[@thseed7]

I love Spyderco and the Glessers. I'm lucky enough to live near the Golden Factory and have been in multiple times. I can't even begin to tell you how nice everyone is and how willing they are to help you find a great knife. There's a reason I've got 35 Spydercos. No company is using so many steels across their lineup and doing them well. Truly a great brand.

[@DamionJR4923]

I like how excited and involved Eric is.

[@Josh-jw7cb]

King of design retention.

[@patrickvanovermeeren4513]

Great guy, very knowledgeable. Such a passion for knives !!

[@erinaledo1267]

So stoked to see the Sage 5 getting more love!

[@wcreview8227]

I Used to detest Spyderco solely for the way they look, and they have grown on me.. They are EXCELLENT knives, Reasonably priced and of great quality

[@kare14drums]

I love Spyderco knives, however something interesting about where I live (Canada) is that spyderco knives themselves aren’t illegal, but the spidey flick is. So not many places sell Spyderco to Canada, not even Spyderco sells Spyderco to Canada. In my life I’ve only ever seen one Spyderco in Canada and it was a light blue FRN Delica in some dude’s back pocket

[@lonewolf597]

Hey it's the Arlo Guthrie of knives! Love ya Eric!

[@ericthorpe5670]

Daaaang Eric's hair is bananas! Rock on man

[@ronp4529]

What a guy! Thank you Spyderco!

[@grimecrimetime]

K390 is my favorite steel. It needs to be maintenanced, but its well worth it

[@michaeljdauben]

I love that Techno 3. Beautiful knife.

[@Mandoslicer]

The Techno 3 is like a Voxnes-F5.5, with a Paysan Handle mixed with a Slysz blade profile then last but not least, a PM-2 blade finish. None of that is a bad thing. I Love everything about my Techno 2, my F5.5, and my Paras. I can’t wait for the T3 to drop. I would have been totally satisfied with a techno 3 with the exact design as the 2 but a bit bigger…I’ve been secretly wishing for that for a long time. This, however, I’m so stoked about this pushing of the envelope past my expectations. Thanks Eric and thanks to Marcine too.

[@Mandoslicer]

BTW, Eric is looking more and more like Zeb Bowles every day. I wonder if he plays fiddle too.

[@jjm6187]

Would love to see the para 3 get the blacked out G10 salt treatment!

[@DouglasRosser]

Stretch or Stretch XL in Magnacut, pretty please! (Or start putting the forward choil on the Endura and make THAT in Magnacut!)

[@krazy_roach1698]

Thanks for sharing

[@opinionatedhobbyist]

Look at Spyderco listening to the people! The community has been clamouring for more Sage 5’s for years! The fact that they did a G10 and a Lightweight for both the Rex 121 and the Spy27 is above and beyond and very appreciated. Is there a yellow G10 version of the Magnacut Sage 5? Looking forward to the Rex 121 in G10.

[@Sunstepa]

I look forward to how you sharpen 121. 🤪

[@stickyedge7113]

​@Sunstepa not a problem with diamond or cbn stones. If you can sharpen one steel you can sharpen them all. A course diamond stone will raise a burr on anything fairly quickly

[@dertodesking8379]

Well they don’t listen to all the people screaming for more ball bearing lock knives… instead they make 100 versions of the same old knives 🙄

[@roady7420]

The sage series is supposed to be about locks. I think the lightweight handles and bushing system you could say the lock is different. Why 3 Sages in different steals I dunno it’s Spyderco they do what they think people will like, unlike 🤔 ummm…benchmade. Yes the ball bearing lock in a sage would be sic it literally hits the lock perfectly in your hand. I would like to see a Demko shark lock in a sage or a collab with Demko.

[@beasthunter7480]

Wish we could have found out when the yellow and black pm2 magnacut was gonna come out…. Been waiting and waiting

[@johnnyshanksalot8358]

Exciting lineup this year as always🙂 Manix 2 xl in s30v was my first cpm knife back in the day, you're giving me nostalgia!

[@aeowan2]

WAWAWEEE that techno looks awesome ! I hope it gets a strong detent :)

[@rickflare6736]

Awesome Video!

[@loosieclocker]

Spyderco fanboy here. Manix would be perfect with contoured scales

[@AhmadRiyal]

pls spyderco for the love of god, make a chapparal lw in magnacut

[@BUBBA1J]

Awsome job by the Glesser family🤩💪🙏 Love Spyderco!!

[@tyerickson5540]

Gimme that 121!!

[@hificat101]

I just ordered a serrated H2 Dragonfly because of Eric. We'll see.

[@Bisqcateer]

Man I would love that purple/black color combo on the Delica but wish there was a sprint run for a G10 version like the St. Nick's

[@grafknives9544]

Wow, that is one nice throwback with temperance

[@krazy_roach1698]

Love my spy 27 LW para 3... but with some AWT scales and a lynch clip... its money and my edc always.

[@norrisfong6445]

Id like to see the chaparral w a compression lock and magnacut ou k390.

[@bilbsk.2510]

Awesome videos, awesome spyderco ‘s

[@Mrocznyty]

I always thought that if you heated up previously hardened steel (martensite) and left it to cool slowly, it should lose its hardness

[@HonestArcher_13]

I would like to know what Sir Eric uses for his edc? Impressive gentlemen!!

[@KingKsEDC]

There was a video a little while back and he had a pm2 crucarta on him that looked pretty beat up. So I know he carried that for a while.

[@travisworts6249]

I love my manix 2 in magnacut

[@imopn]

Still hope to see PM3 with Magnacut. Not the thin version without the scales. Would love to take a Magnacut PM3 and put some beautiful titanium scales on. Would be my perfect knife

[@buckaroobanzai2551]

Love my spy27 para 3. Throw awt skinny cobalt blue scales with a lynch clip and your in perfect EDC territory.

[@shaggy_e210]

I've already placed my preorder for a rex121 sage 5 and it looks like I'm gunna be snagging a pd1 Dragonfly 2 as well when they drop

[@M3thodbombz]

Stretch 2 XL fully serrated in K390 😮

[@optimuscrime608]

I really hope we see exclusive framelock tennies!!!

[@Lorbera]

The Temperance fixed blade is 🔥🔥🔥

[@janpen78]

Damn, that Techno 3 looks fantastic.

[@jesseadams45]

Eric is the Willy Wonka of knives😂

[@bvo1236]

We REALLY need a tenacious in a finer steel.... Such a cool knife!

[@hificat101]

In case Eric checks the comments, you're bringing us incredible products, but what I really want is a K-Carta Manix with blue Micarta scales and K390. Please Eric!

[@S8NSAYS]

After years of collecting, Spyderco is still my favorite production company. They have the best heat treat, they are constantly improving their quality, they have the most options for knife steels, and you can tell just how much care and excitement there is in Erics voice, when he talks about their knives. Could listen to this all day.

[@NCrdwlf]

I have 3 serrated salts in H1 and they still fly through everything . I cut a kiddie pool into pieces the other day with an older pacific salt . Destroyed it .

[@sophtware_slump]

I need that temperance gah damn!

[@tgonzalez1983]

Love spyderco! WHERE IS THE SATIN SALT PM2?!

[@BillBranscome]

Love spy 27!

[@cvdubya5774]

That Tenacious is cool but I really wish they would have used S35VN or something

[@franticflintstone7999]

It's already $127 with the titanium scales and Reeve lock. I'm glad they're trying to keep it somewhat affordable as it is in their budget line after all. Plenty of $200+ knives out there for those who want them.

[@everythingsharp]

What is the HRC on the magnacut??? You say it’s done right but what is it lol

[@HelplessTeno]

Spiderco claims it's at least 62HRC in some forum posts, but some people have been claiming it could be closer to 64. No definitive answer so far but it's harder than Benchmade's heat treat.

[@L3001USPSA]

When are we going to get a compression lock Native 5? PLZ!!

[@kennethkuhlman8864]

What knife was on the far left that was never talked about or touched?? Was that a Magnacut Pacific Salt!!? 😢

[@reclaimer1351]

Techno 3 looks very similar to an ozark trail folder.

[@scotthumphrey99]

When does the paramilitary 2 salt in satin blade yellow and black g10 come out? I want to buy one so bad.

[@nandayane]

Sage 5 in magna-cut, they are rolling it out to Taiwan. Hopefully we can get a spyderchef in the future.

[@TheStabbyCyclist]

I'm a massive Spyderco fan but the Techno 3 is a big "miss". No ability to Spydieflick and (I hate to say) Spyderco's flipping action has always been mediocre at best. I've tried numerous different flippers from them and they always have suboptimal action. The recent Spymyto is a prime example. Great design but the detent is just too weak and the washers were already deformed/dented from the factory. My advice to Spyderco... stick to washers/bushings and stop trying to make flippers!

[@oliverwoehrmann5992]

Was thinking the same thing. George manages to fail it on the first flip, then has to put his wrist into to get it to fly open. Any knife where you have to use your wrist has a problem.

[@Jmon808]

⁠​⁠@@oliverwoehrmann5992who made up that rule? Some people prefer stiffer action..

[@harvey_weenstain8857]

Yes FOR THE LOVE OF GOD NO FLIPPERS

[@graemegourley7616]

Can we get some rex121 in a non compression lock please? A regular military would be ideal.

[@KingKsEDC]

1:38 exactly. Which is why Spyderco is the only on brand that deserves a pass when it comes to their prices. They actually spend so much time perfecting the knife that you know you're grabbing quality. Spydercos R&D is insane. I mean Benchmades new water series rusts for f**** sake!! Smh.

[@donaltemus3565]

You know I like a lot of blades. Have a lot of blades, but spyderco pm2/3 are the best knives on the planet.

[@franticflintstone7999]

Interesting: "Our best edge retention of anything we've ever tested (this is above Rex 121) is our serrated H2." 11:00 .

[@Toyotas_n__Tools]

Wheres the PM2 bowie that was promised for Christmas time 2023?

[@TalonTSI95]

Would love to see a barong again. Would love to see a zulu.

[@John-xk7uo]

When!!!!!!!

[@andyhayward1261]

I wish the titanium tenacious was in a decent steel, like they already make m4 and s35vn tenacious models so why not throw one of those blades in it?

[@Mastermindyoung14]

The newest locks from Spyderco are Eric's hair.

[@AhmadRiyal]

i wonder if the PAra3LW will have PB washers on both sides

[@oneeyeman6258]

Techno 3! Me want!!!!

[@JiraiyaJaJuice-dp8kl]

"The Diddler Room"

[@marks5336]

Eric's gone full hippie 😅

[@Carnivorous_edc]

Can we get a remake on the Spyderco Q-Ball please 😊

[@caidenjones918]

That Techno is beautiful but George looks like he’s struggling with the detent being too light. Would be very typically italian if that is the case. The fit and finish from the italians just can’t compete with what Chinese OEM’s are capable of these days.

[@ST-ue5fb]

Agreed. It looks very light. Too light for how much they are going to charge for it.

[@ghostmaloneedc4254]

We ever gonna get the Bowie PM2 they showed 2 years ago? Asking for a friend.

[@brendenmiller7598]

Techno 3 looks 🔥

[@SalvoEDC]

Full production Rex 121 🤤🤤🤤

[@ZeedePlus]

Man, that Techno 3 is sexy looking!

[@wattsmichaele]

Im immediately searching for a Spyderco H2 with serrated edge!!!!…..This is knife steel tip of decade!!!!!!!🔪🔪🥷🥷👏👏👏

[@malcolmholt2010]

Make more knives with the ball lock please!

[@Edelxander]

The techno 3 resembles lionsteel nano

[@MLKusername]

Spy 27 gets no love. It's amazing.

[@paullmight42]

is the hole just aesthetic on the techno 3? looks like it...

[@dertodesking8379]

“If you look bang for your buck the Tenacious is hard to beat” What!??? 😂
