HEY GUYS!!!!
POST UP WHATCHA GOT!!!
Spyderco developed its Ethnic Series of knives to honor the world’s many distinctive cultural knives. In addition to paying tribute to widely recognized ethnic blade styles, our goal is to showcase cultural knives, their qualities, and the significance they hold to the societies that created them. Although many knife companies have simply reproduced native knife patterns, Spyderco has chosen to honor these amazing designs by expressing them in the form of modern, fully-functional knives—often folders—crafted with the latest state-of-the-art materials. This demanding format challenges our skills and manufacturing convention, in the process yielding a unique family of knives and an increased understanding and appreciation for the tools that inspired them.
