Video: Military 2 – Spyderco Design Production Sample 2023

This Spyderco Military 2 production sample was shown at the 2023 Spyderco Amsterdam Meet.  I shot the video in portrait mode, so it’s optimized for phones (I’ll post it on my Instagram too @thatspydercollector), which might come off a bit strange if you’re watching this on a desk- or laptop.

SharpKeeper – Spyderco Design Production Sample 2023

The SharpKeeper will be a basic accessory to protect your kitchen knife. The holes help to keep moisture down. The inside is lined with a velvet-like material to help guide and ease the knife in the cover. I’m not sure what the material is, but it felt a lot like Boltaron or Kydex/Concealex.
