Spyderco was founded by Sal and Gail Glesser in 1976. Initially, the company focused on selling their first product, the Tri-Angle Sharpmaker. By 1981, Spyderco introduced their first folding knife, the C01 Worker. That knife pioneered the concept of a round hole in the blade for one handed opening, a clip on the handle for carry at the top of the pocket, and the option of a serrated edge for aggressive cutting performance. Those features revolutionized the knife industry and defined the form of the modern folding knife. Since then, Spyderco has grown to become one of the leaders in the cutlery industry.
