Due to significant increases in material and operational costs, earlier this year, Spyderco found it necessary to make adjustments to all our pricing policies. As part of this restructuring, we will also be implementing changes to the OpFocus Professional Purchase Program.
Effective May 1, 2024, the OpFocus discount will be revised to 40% off the MSRP. Program participants will still be allowed to purchase up to 10 knives per calendar year at this discount; however, Sprint Run™ and Flash Batch™ knives will no longer be eligible. Purchases of byrd® brand knives will also be counted toward your 10-knife total.
Despite these changes, the OpFocus Professional Purchase Program will continue to offer you the largest discount of any company in the cutlery industry. We will also continue to extend our program to the broadest possible audience of duty-bound personnel, military veterans, and retirees.
Spyderco greatly appreciates your service to our country and our community. We thank you for your understanding and your continued interest in our products.

) and was compensated by the military and continue to receive compensation now in my retirement. I greatly appreciated the 50% Opfocus discount, as well as the outstanding customer service and responsiveness of Spyderco to its individual customers. I understand the need to lower the discount with our current economy and will continue to appreciate the 40% Opfocus discount just as much. After all, as others have pointed out, it’s still one of the biggest discounts of any company. Spyderco even gave us enough advance notification to get in a last order or two under the higher discount. The majority of my purchases over the last several years have not been eligible for this discount anyway, since I seem to buy more MuleTeam products than anything else these days.
