Here’s an overview of all the production samples that Spyderco unveiled at the 2024 Amsterdam Meet. At least the ones I could photograph and publish. I also added the video in each post per production sample. And I updated the Prototypes page with this overview. Thanks for watching!

Manix 2 Lightweight CPM-15V – Spyderco Design Production Sample 2024

The Spyderco Manix 2 Lightweight will also be made with a CPM-15V blade and signature brown handle. It will be announced officially in the upcoming Reveal number 15. Reveal 15  15V… If only this was the 15th edition of the Spyderco Amsterdam meet. I’m glad it’s not though 😉

Fun fact, to me at least, veteran Spyderco crewmember Lisa came up with the name Manix many years ago.

Military 2 CPM-15V – Spyderco Design Production Sample 2024

Last year, Spyderco introduced many of us to CPM-15V for the first time. Spyderco launched limited runs of the Paramilitary 2 and Shaman in 2023, working with Shawn Houston -a.k.a. Big Brown Bear- who shared his heat treat protocol to bring out the best of this steel. Apparently, this first foray into 15V went well, because Spyderco plans to produce many different models from their US factory in this steel that I believe are planned as regular production. Up first in this report, is the Military 2 in CPM-15V.

Approximate Specifications

Closed: 5.51 inch / 140 mm
Overall: 9.51 inch / 242 mm
Blade: 4.00 inch / 102 mm

Spyderco Amsterdam Meet 2024 Report

The 17th Spyderco Amsterdam Meet was a blast, thank you for your patience for my report with photos of some of the upcoming Spyderco production samples.

Apart from meeting Eric, Lisa and Peter from the Spydercrew and getting a look at the new concept models, prototypes and production sample, it was great to see so many familiar faces again. It’s nice to see how this hobby binds so many of us. Thank you to all who attended, for bringing your enthusiasm and making it a great gathering. And of course, many thanks to the Spydercrew for hosting this awesome event!

The day started with a presentation by Eric, in which he presented each and every one of the new designs that are in various stages of development. I’m guesstimating he brought about 60 new models. I could identify roughly 3 stages of development: a concept model (often a custom piece from a designer), a prototype (the first stage of adapting the concept into a production model), and a production prototype (the knife now looks almost identical to the final production version). I could photograph and post a few of the upcoming production samples, many of which are likely to appear in the next Reveal catalog.
Please note, I have no information about the availability or pricing of these knives and products. For some of the models that haven’t been revealed yet, I took rudimentary measurements, none of which should be considered ‘catalog-correct’. Any mistakes or deviations etc… are mine. Basically, when it comes to these photographs, videos and measurements; I’m a fan – not an expert. 😉

I’ll post the first batch of content momentarily, and I’ll add more the coming days.
