This year, Spyderco celebrates its 50th anniversary. And it has already been a pretty monumental one, marked by thoughtful reinterpretations of brand classics, such as a rarified Native 5 sprint run, and new silhouettes, including the featherweight Charisma.

Truly, there’s never been a bad time to pick up a Spyderco EDC knife (or fixed-blade). But this year is shaping up to be pretty special, even by the brand’s standards.

Check out some of the most significant drops the Golden, Colorado outfit has to offer this year below:

Spyderco Manix 2 MagnaMax

The Manix 2 is one of Spyderco’s many beloved full-size everyday carry workhorses, designed by Eric Glesser and made in Golden, Colorado. Its 3.375-inch MagnaMax blade rides on a full flat grind for low-friction cutting. Spyderco’s patented Ball Bearing Lock delivers rock-solid, ambidextrous lockup, while textured G-10 scales and a reversible tip-up pocket clip make it equally at home in a work belt or a front pocket.
