Having pioneered numerous features now ubiquitous in most modern pocket knives (among those is the pocket clip), Spyderco is still innovating and producing some of the most useful knives on the planet. Headquartered in Golden, Colorado, they always have high standards for their steel heat treatments and build quality, no matter what price point, and offer stellar customer service. We especially love their Salt series, which are prized for corrosion resistant qualities in and around salt water, a must for the salty air of Port Townsend, and the waters beyond.
