Knives
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". In addition, for an additional $35 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.

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.
$146.00
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.
$115.00
Pacific Salt MSRP $162.50 - $180.00
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.
$126.00 - $140.00
Atlantic Salt MSRP $159.50
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.
$125.00
Rescue 3 Lightweight MSRP $126 - $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.
$119.00
Para 3 Lightweight (NEW Offering!) MSRP $198
Sleek, simple, and fearlessly corrosion resistant, the Para 3 Lightweight Salt may be the ultimate everyday-carry knife for those who work in and around the water. It takes the innovative Para 3 Lightweight platform and supercharges it with a PlainEdge blade crafted from CPM MagnaCut. Its open-backed fiberglass-reinforced-nylon (FRN) handle is injection molded in bright yellow to ensure high visibility and features Spyderco’s Bi-Directional Texture pattern for a secure grip, even with wet hands. To complete the package, the knife’s streamlined Compression Lock, reversible deep-pocket carry clip, and all other hardware are all precision machined from ultra-corrosion resistant materials.
$154.00
Sage 5 Lightweight Salt (NEW Offering!) MSRP $235
The most popular member of our unique Sage™ Series of folding knives, the Sage 5 Lightweight has also proven itself to be a perfect platform for showcasing the elite properties of high-performance blade steels. In that spirit, the Sage 5 Lightweight Salt proudly features a blade crafted from CPM® MagnaCut®—a revolutionary particle metallurgy steel that offers an exceptional balance of edge retention, toughness, and the extreme corrosion resistance we require of our Salt® Series knives. The full-flat-ground, PlainEdge™ blade is supported by a high-strength Compression Lock® mechanism housed within a lightweight, open-backed handle with fiberglass-reinforced nylon (FRN) scales. Molded in a high-visibility yellow color, the scales feature a Bi-Directional Texture™ pattern for a secure, non-slip grip and are home to a reversible, deep-pocket wire clip. Like all Salt Series folders, the clip, liners, and all handle hardware are also crafted from marine-grade materials..
$182.00
Native Chief Lightweight Salt MagnaCut (New Offering!) MSRP $225
The Native Chief™ Lightweight is 21 percent lighter than its G-10-handled counterpart. Its linerless, injection-molded, fiberglass-reinforced-nylon (FRN) handle also reduces the number of metal parts in the knife and adds the benefit of our high-traction Bi-Directional Texture™ pattern. These features make it an ideal platform for inclusion in Spyderco’s revolutionary Salt® Series of fearlessly corrosion-resistant cutting tools. This Native Chief Lightweight Salt supercharges the design with a blade crafted from Crucible® Industries’ CPM® MagnaCut®—a revolutionary particle metallurgy steel that offers an impressive balance of edge retention, toughness, and extreme corrosion resistance. Full-flat ground for optimal edge geometry and available in both PlainEdge™ and SpyderEdge™ configurations, its blade is supported by a precision-machined back lock mechanism and a high-visibility yellow FRN handle. The handle includes threaded inserts that allow the four-position pocket clip to be mounted on both sides and both ends of the handle to support all possible carry preferences. Like all our Salt Series folders, the handle hardware of this knife is also crafted exclusively from ultra-corrosion-resistant materials.
