Model Name: Pygmy Warrior Model Reference: FB29 Designer: Bob Taylor MSRP: Description: A smaller version of the Warrior, designed by Bob Taylor. This retains much of the functionality of the original, with higher end G-10 Handles and an interesting CTS-BD1 Steel blade, which not the strongest performer for edge retention. Given this is a self-defense knife that one would unlikely be using day-in-day-out, maybe that’s a moot point.

Based largely on the groundbreaking research of close-combat icon Michael Echanis, the original Warrior was a radical design intended primarily for use with reverse-grip tactics inspired by the Korean martial art of HwaRangDo. Produced in limited quantities by the late Al Mar and later resurrected by the martial artist Bob Taylor and Echanis contemporary Randy Wanner, it is one of the most coveted combat knives ever made.”

Model Name: Techno Model Reference: C158 Designer: Marcin Slysz MSRP: $299.95 Description: Spyderco’s first collaboration with Marcin Slysz is the Techno Folder, featuring Spyderco’s Little Big Knife proportioning and a solid Reeve Integral Lock.

The LionSpy uses a combination of G-10 and Titanium with the same Reeve Integral Lock that the SR-1 uses. Also used in the design is a Patented RotoBlock system designed by Gianni Pauletta. It acts as a lockbar stop to prevent overtravel and when the knife is open can be rotated to lock the lockbar in place so that it does not accidently disengage. Overall, one of the most impressive knives from Spyderco to date, and the MSRP definately supports that as well!
Model Name: Des Horn Model Reference: C153 Designer: Des Horn MSRP: $189.95 Description: Designed as a custom collaboration with South African knifemaker Des Horn (no relation to Jess Horn), the Des Horn C153 is a sleek, G-10 handled folder with sweeping machined grooves on the handle and the blade.
