The Rocky Mountain Parents'  Association is Pleased to Offer Spyderco Marine and Rescue Knives.

These knives are a great present for your Midshipman going to Sea Duty or for Graduation.

Spyderco is headquartered in Golden, Rocky Mountain, and is unsurpassed in quality. They are frequently identified by Practical Sailor Magazine as a Top Pick for Quality and Value.

Spyderco uses rugged work-hardened steel with advanced features specifically designed for marine requirements, and found in no other knife. Their design team are sailors themselves and have spent decades developing the perfect knives for the job. Rocky Mountain Parents' Association is fortunate to have developed a special arrangement with Spyderco as an Authorized Distributor allowing us to offer pricing significant discounts off MSRP.

Early on in our communications, Spyderco informed us that "Our Firefighters, Rescue Workers, Law Enforcement, and Military are close to our hearts and we take their needs very seriously. On board ships, seconds count in a rescue or mission-critical situation. The knife must be easily accessible, perform flawlessly, and absolutely cannot fail. Our knives are a lifelong tool and always deliver."

Momentum continued to develop as they learned more about Kings Point. The end result was the availability of These Knives at a price that is Significantly Lower than Can Be Found Elsewhere AND You will be Helping to "Support Our Midshipmen". Moreover, for an additional $30 set up fee, you can order your Spyderco knife engraved with your Midshipmen's name and the Kings Point logo.

Here are recommended marine knives for our Kings Pointers. If you don't see the one you want, you can choose from Spyderco.com Catalog and contact us for pricing. We make all Spyderco knives available at a discount.

For more information on Spyderco's Features go to their "Edge-U-Cation" pages.

Harpy MSRP $188
Like an animal's claw, hawkbill blades pierce with the point and draw the material being cut into the natural curve of the edge. The impressive mechanics of this cutting action are even more potent when amplified by a serrated edge. The Spyderco Harpy was the first knife to integrate the dynamics of the hawkbill blade profile with the voracious cutting power of our fully serrated SpyderEdge. Its hollow-ground VG-10 stainless steel blade cuts with an authority far beyond its size and makes it the tool of choice for cutting netting, rope, cord, and webbing. Its Trademark Round Hole allows quick, positive, one-handed opening with either hand and proudly proclaims its Spyderco pedigree. Capable of right or left-side tip-up or tip-down carry, the Harpy features solid stainless steel handle construction, a sturdy back lock mechanism, and a drying vent/shackle key.

Tasman Salt Lightweight MSRP $147
Hawkbill blades function very much like an animal's claw, collecting the object being cut and drawing it into the concave edge to generate highly focused cutting power. This makes them the perfect tools for cutting netting, line, and other fibrous materials - especially when they're water soaked.
Spyderco's Tasman Salt takes the voracious cutting power of a hawkbill blade profile and renders it in H-1 steel - an advanced nitrogen-based alloy that is completely immune to rust. Available with either a PlainEdge or aggressive fully serrated SpyderEdge, the Tasman Salt's blade also features a full accessible Trademark Round Hole for swift, positive, one-handed opening with either hand.
The blade is paired with an ultra-lightweight handle injection molded from tough fiberglass-reinforced-nylon (FRN). The handle features a Volcano Grip texture that ensures a secure grip, even in wet conditions, and houses a sturdy back lock mechanism that locks the blade securely open when in use. A reversible black-coated titanium pocket clip supports left or right-side, tip-up carry to keep the Tasman Salt poised, accessible, and ready when you are.

Pacific Salt MSRP $180
Designed to offer reliable high performance with a never-rust H-1 steel blade. Now it's available with a black coated blade, lessening the steel's reflective qualities and subduing the blade's presence. Spyderco's Salt Series shines in fresh and saltwater staying rust-free even if put away wet. Hollow-ground, the H-1 blade is PlainEdged and coated in long-lasting black carbonitride. All internal steel parts are treated as well making them impervious to rust and pitting. The blade's hole is enlarged to 14mm for easier opening/closing with gloved, wet or cold hands. Textured in a Volcano Grip pattern, the black fiberglass handle has a grippy texture and is fitted with a black Titanium pocket clip that reverses position for both left and right-handers. The addition of a lanyard hole offers a backup method of attachment (thong or lanyard cord) for use around water where once dropped, a knife is often lost or elusively hard to retrieve.

Atlantic Salt MSRP $160
It's been speculated the sheepfoot shaped blade originated with mariners who found the rounded tip especially beneficial when the knife was accidentally dropped (think working on a ship in pitching seas) as it couldn't stab the foot when hitting the deck. It's also been hypothesized that commanding officers on these ships preferred rambunctious hardworking sailors carry knives without pointed tips, especially while in port blowing off steam after months at sea.
Spyderco's Rescue knives are long favored by seafarers and the design has since been embraced by rescue workers, EMT's and ranchers-anyone cutting around flesh in an emergency. Now available in a rustproof version, the Atlantic Salt is a modified Rescue made with state of the art non-rusting H1 steel. H1 is a precipitation-hardened steel containing nitrogen instead of carbon, which cannot rust. The hollow-ground blade is available in SpyderEdge offering remarkable cutting performance in and around fresh and saltwater. Textured with a Volcano Grip pattern, the molded fiberglass reinforced nylon (FRN) handle comes in black or visible marine yellow equipped with a reversible titanium pocket clip for right or left- handed use. We recommend threading a thong or lanyard cord through the lanyard hole for back-up retention around water, where once dropped, a knife is often irretrievable or lost.

Rescue 3 Lightweight MSRP $152
In 1991, Spyderco pioneered the concept of the first purpose-designed rescue knife by combining the safety of a sheepfoot blade profile, the cutting power of a serrated SpyderEdge, and the lightweight convenience of an FRN handle. The Rescue 3 brings that proven design up to date with an ergonomically enhanced FRN handle with Bi-Directional Texturing, skeletonized stainless steel liners, and a four-position hourglass clip that supports all possible carry positions. Its saber-ground VG-10 blade is serrated all the way to the tip for extreme cutting power and features a 14mm Spyderco hole for positive one-handed deployment with either hand. Weighing less than four ounces, the Rescue 3 is the perfect carry-anywhere tool for first responders and prepared civilians.
