The Spyderco Tragedy: A Rare Find for Collectors

The Spyderco Tragedy is more than just a knife—it's a piece of Spyderco history. Crafted with precision, this knife features a 10cm Carbon Tool Steel blade made in Taiwan, boasting a Scandi grind that delivers razor-sharp performance. Despite its impressive design, the Spyderco Tragedy carries a unique history due to a manufacturing flaw.

Design and Build

Designed with a 22cm overall length and a 3.5mm full tang blade, this knife offers durability and strength. The Spalted Maple wood handle, while visually striking, was not stabilized, leading to splitting issues in every unit produced. As a result, the knife was discontinued and sold as factory seconds. Even with this flaw, the Spyderco Tragedy remains a highly sought-after item among collectors due to its rarity and historical significance.
