All of Spyderco’s current blade markings are laser engraved on all US made knives. There may be a few imported knives that still have blade stamps as was done in the beginning, circa 1981. Spyderco also used to use a diamond stylus pantograph (hand and CNC operated) but the industry in general has b...

Hi Tom: I second everything you say and have been saying since 2012. That’s dedication! And dedication is what Spyderco has been about for the last 48+ years. Not only pushing the envelope but creating their own and then breaking through, improving upon their own innovations, and moving industry sta...

Looks like the 300mm Gyotos were made in 1996: https://catalogs.z6.web.core.windows.net/ironstone1996.pdf I believe that MBS-26 is Masahiro's proprietary steel and used exclusively by them. On paper it looks rather unremarkable, however, with their specials heat treatment, it preforms superbly. This...

The retail price was $22 in 1976.

As I recall, Gerber Mark II daggers were L6 and hand ground or at least glazed lengthwise to the edge, sort of Scandi ground as thick cruciform daggers blade angles are not much more than 40°inclusive, so this was an "out of the box" solution to a grinding/finishing/sharpening problem. I h...

When David Murphy started making knives for Gerber in the late 1930s, I believe he recycled used M2 High Speed Tool Steel power hacksaw blades that he ground to shape and had chrome plated. They had cast aluminum handles that in time, long after Gerber took over production in their own factory after...
