Speider

The Speider’s one of those blades that feels like it’s got a story baked into the steel. Meant for folks with some trail behind them, it’s got a dark oiled birch handle that fits easy in hand, solid and sure. The stainless blade holds a razor edge, cut with a Scandinavian grind that’s made for true work, not just show. That leather sheath in scout green? Holds it snug with a snap and rides well on the belt.

Weighs just a hair over three ounces with the sheath, with a 3.5-inch blade and a grip that keeps your fingers where they ought to be. Designed by Tor Indergaard back in ‘89, and still holding strong. This isn’t just a tool, it’s the kind of knife you pass down, not put away.
