Spyderco does not yet make a competition knife, but they are working with their sponsored cutters to develop a design.

Congratulations to Donavon Phillips for taking first place at the BladeSports International US National Championship.

I made the cut for the World Championship.

Here is a little teaser video for the Nationals event: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=baw5FUmhpPg

Happy belated Birthday. Donavon makes an incredible knife. You will enjoy it for years to come!

Holly Cow Guys!
Thanks for the well wishes!

Strange to receive so much attention, but I guess when you step out from the shadows some one's going to notice.

Spyderco Forum ROCKS!

By the way, How many points do i get for the cake slice?

We have been using CPM M4, in our BladeSports competition blades for years. Storing the blade dry is important. We also use Silicone spray, purchased at the local ACE Hardware store, to coat the blades before and after competition. I havn't had any rust issues since using this product.

Good luck.

The attached PDF is the events schedule and cutting coarse schematics and descriptions of the events.

Here's what you'll be missing if you don't go.

I thought you were the man in pink! Are you trying to change your identity? :confused: :p I will always be the "Man in pink" in my heart, but there are times to wear pink, and there are times to wear Spyderco red. Thanks a ton for your remembering my humble beginnings in the cutting compe...

Since the light cutting is separated from the chopping do you have to use the same knife? If not it will be fascinating to see the design changes. Each competitor may use a different knife for each event, or may resharpen before each event. Best of luck Jose! Did they make you a pink Spyderco logo ...

The US National Championships for the 2010-2011 season are going to be held at the Ozark Folk Center, in Mountain View, AR on May 14, 2011.
