The latest Spyderco Product Reveal, the twenty-second since the company adopted this particular format, has dropped – and that means a lot of new knives to look at, so without further ado let’s get into it. (Note: we are just covering the main new models, no the sprint runs and special steel variants, of which there are a few).

Para Military 2 LW Salt

Ah the PM2 – you know it, you love it, it’s an all-timer for many, many users. The lightweight variant is also popular, and now that version is getting its own Salt variant, with bright yellow scales and MagnaCut steel.

Shaman Salt

Copy-paste the text above, replace “PM2” with “Shaman,” and you’re good to go – okay, we’ll say a little bit more. There are a couple different color schemes in the Salt line now, and this MagnaCut Shaman is sporting the yellow-and-black bumblebee livery that the company debuted a few years ago.

Thyn and Slym

Do these knives look a little familiar to you? They should, because they are a collaboration between Spyderco and LionSteel, and are Spyderized versions of the Michele Pensato-designed Skinny integral folder. These obviously retain the integral construction, have M390 steel, and come in two different blade sizes: 2.94 inches or 3.42 oz.

Navigator 3

Another Italian-made piece – albeit not a LionSteel collaboration model – the Navigator 3 is the latest incarnation of a Spyderco design that originally released in 1997. This version is a non-locking knife, with gray G-10 scales and a blade made from BM390MC – a power metallurgy version of M390.

Byrd Magpie

Spyderco’s Byrd line gets a little love in reveal no. 22, with the addition of the Magpie. It has a black-coated 3.2-inch blade made from 9Cr18MoV and scales made from peel-ply black G-10 interleaved white G-10 pieces.

Pathway

Last but not least we have a new fixed blade called the Pathway. This is a terrestrial companion piece to the Waterway, which was (like this knife) designed by professional fisherman Lance Clinton and targeted users who would be in and around the water. The Pathway has a 4.43-inch blade made from 9Cr18MoV and black bi-directional textured FRN scales, bringing it very much in line stylistically with its older, wetter brother.
