Three Spyderco folders give this Knife of the Week lineup distinct personalities. The current collection links to a CruWear/Micarta Manix 2, a yellow Para Military 2 Lightweight Salt, and a pink-and-black Lil’ Native Lightweight.

Manix 2: CruWear and brown Micarta

The Manix 2 currently linked in the offer collection has a 3.37-inch satin CPM CruWear blade, brown canvas Micarta scales, and a Ball Bearing Lock. Displayed price: $189.99. This is not the black G-10/MagnaCut Manix 2 Salt described in an earlier version of this post. CruWear is tool steel and needs care to prevent corrosion.

Para Military 2 Lightweight Salt C81PYL2

The yellow FRN Para Military 2 Lightweight Salt combines a satin CPM MagnaCut plain-edge blade, Compression Lock, and reversible tip-up deep-pocket wire clip. Displayed price: $189.99.

Lil’ Native Lightweight C230PPNBK

The pink-and-black Lil’ Native Lightweight pairs pink FRN with a 2.42-inch black DLC-coated CTS BD1N blade, a back lock, and a reversible deep-pocket wire clip. Displayed price: $129.99.

Hidden in Plain Sight: the CobraTec Trapper Hidden Release

It looks like the trapper your grandfather carried. Steel bolsters, a classic profile, a handle worth holding. Then you push up on the bolster and the D2 blade swings open. Push again, and the lock releases. No button, no switch, just CobraTec’s patented release tucked into the bolster.

This week’s Knife of the Week is the full Trapper Hidden Release lineup from CobraTec, the family-owned knife company based in Meridian, Texas. Six handles, one knife.

THE CLASSICS

White Bone: genuine polished white bone, clean and bright.

Stag: rugged texture with old-school character.

THE HORNS

Ram Horn: natural ram horn. No two are alike.

Gold Horn: warm golden tones and the dressiest look in the lineup.

THE WOODS

Olivewood: light, lively grain with bright steel bolsters.

Rosewood: deep, rich color for the traditional-knife fan.

Horn, bone and wood vary from knife to knife, so yours will be a little different from the photo.

Three new Benchmades. Three ways to carry. One fall color palette.

Ranger Green, Desert Tan and OD Green Benchmades just landed at Knife Depot, each built for a different spot on your gear. All three are new to Knife Depot.

A LITTLE HISTORY

Les de Asis started building butterfly knives in a California garage in 1979. In 1988 the company became Benchmade, named for knives finished at the bench. Today Benchmade builds its knives in Oregon City, Oregon, home of the AXIS lock since 1999.

THE BUTTON: CLAYMORE 9070SBK-03

One of our top-selling knives of 2022, now in Ranger Green. A 3.6-inch partially serrated 154CM blade, a Grivory handle that handles rain and grime, and an integrated safety.

THE AXIS: MINI SOCP 393SSN-01

Greg Thompson’s SOCP shape in a folder: a 3.76-inch partially serrated S30V blade in Flat Earth Cerakote, Desert Tan G10 scales, a finger ring and an ambidextrous AXIS lock.

THE FIXED BLADE: MINI SOCP 177GN

Skeletonized 440C in OD Green Cerakote at 1.81 ounces, with a tan molded sheath for pocket or MOLLE carry.

Why Did NASA Send a 17-Inch Knife to the Moon?

Because the knives they already had weren’t good enough.

During the space race, NASA needed a purpose-built survival knife for its astronauts. So it turned to Case.

The result was the Astronaut Knife M-1 — a massive, unmistakable survival knife that became part of the Gemini and Apollo programs and traveled to the Moon and back multiple times between 1968 and 1972.

This wasn’t a souvenir dreamed up after the fact.

The original M-1 was designed as real survival equipment, stored aboard the Command Module in case astronauts splashed down off course and had to wait for recovery.

Today, Case has recreated that historic design in the Case 12019 Astronaut Knife.

At nearly 17 inches overall, it features:

• An 11¾” machete-style high-carbon stainless blade
• Saw teeth along the spine
• Smooth white synthetic handle
• Individual serialization
• One of the most unusual stories in Case history

It’s part knife, part Americana, part space-race history.

For Case collectors, NASA fans, military-history buffs, and anyone who appreciates a knife with a story, this is one of those pieces that earns its place in a collection before you ever get to the blade.

Choose Your Lucha

This week’s featured knives are built around one of Kershaw’s most recognizable butterfly platforms: the Lucha.

Same core design. Two very different personalities.

Kershaw Lucha 5150

The classic version keeps things clean with a 4.6″ 14C28N blade, stonewashed finish, and bead-blasted stainless-steel handles.

Kershaw Lucha 5150BW

Prefer something darker? The BlackWash™ Lucha takes the same platform and gives both the blade and stainless-steel handles Kershaw’s broken-in, distressed BlackWash finish.

Both feature dual KVT ball-bearing action, a latch design, and the smooth flipping feel that has made the Lucha such a favorite with Kershaw fans. Kershaw also describes 14C28N as a high-performance stainless steel developed in partnership with a Swedish specialty-steel company.

Stonewashed or BlackWash™ — which Lucha are you taking?

And because this is this week’s featured offer, Knife Depot members get extra savings in cart.

Two Luchas. Two looks. One week to save.

Forget basic black.

This week, we’re featuring three CobraTec knives that bring something different to the collection — natural materials, traditional styling, and just enough CobraTec attitude underneath.

Zebrawood Bar Lock

Warm Zebrawood gives this folder a classic, almost custom-shop look. It’s clean, distinctive, and proof that an everyday knife doesn’t have to look ordinary.

Traditional Two-Blade Trapper

CobraTec goes old-school with a stag-handled two-blade trapper — a familiar American knife pattern with the kind of character traditional knife fans and collectors appreciate.

Gideon Hidden Release — Abalone

And then there’s the showpiece.

The Gideon Hidden Release pairs an elegant abalone treatment with CobraTec’s hidden-release design. It looks like a gentleman’s folder at first glance — which is exactly what makes it so interesting.

Three very different knives. One very good week to shop CobraTec.

We’ve put all three on sale, and Knife Depot members get something extra:

Members get additional cash savings automatically in cart.

The Weekly Edge: Hogue With a Military Edge

Some knives are built to blend in. This week’s Weekly Edge feature is not one of them.

We’re spotlighting Hogue — a respected American knife maker known for precision, quality materials, and knives that feel purpose-built from the moment you pick them up.

Leading this week’s lineup is a Hogue knife with one standout detail collectors will notice right away: a bayonet-style blade.

That blade profile gives the knife a bold, military-inspired look that feels clean, symmetrical, and unmistakably distinctive. It’s the kind of design that appeals to collectors, military history fans, tactical knife enthusiasts, and anyone who appreciates a knife with a little more presence.

But this Hogue feature is not just about looks. Hogue’s reputation for fit, function, and American-made craftsmanship gives this knife real substance behind the style.

Why We Like This Week’s Hogue Feature

• Distinctive bayonet-style blade profile
• Strong collector appeal
• Military-inspired design character
• American-made Hogue craftsmanship
• Great fit for gear fans and military-related collections
• Featured in this week’s Weekly Edge

And because this is The Weekly Edge, Knife Depot members get an exclusive offer:

Members save $10 on all featured Hogue knives in the collection.

If your collection could use something with a little more history, edge, and attitude, this week’s Hogue lineup is worth a closer look.
