These innovations have earned Spyderco numerous patents, trademarks, and industry awards. With manufacturing resources across the U.S., Japan, Taiwan, Italy, and China, Spyderco continues to push the boundaries of knife-making while earning the trust of knife enthusiasts and professionals around the world.
