Spyderco, the American knife company known for the circular cutout that allows for the one-handed opening of its blades, just unveiled an entire batch of new knives. The new collection includes updates to some of the brand’s well-known models and collaborations with notable designers. Still, most significant might be the number of knives that have Wharncliffe blades.
Wharncliffe denotes a particular blade shape with a straight edge and a spine that curves and tapers from handle to tip. It’s a practical form that’s ideal for slicing and often results in a broader tip, which is less likely to produce an accidental puncture. As such, Spyderco optimized its new set of Wharncliffes for everything from self-defense to rock climbing. All of them are due out this summer.

Spyderco worked with combat specialist Kelly McCann to create a folding knife with self-defense at its core. The knife comes with high-quality CPM S30V stainless steel, a reinforced tip and a strong lock.
