The Spyderco Ambitious is a small yet powerful workhorse that exceeds expectations. With a blade length of 2.25 inches, it may be compact, but it packs a punch. The drop point blade, made from high-quality stainless steel (8Cr13MoV), ensures durability and long-lasting sharpness.
But what truly sets the Ambitious apart is its exceptional design and craftsmanship. The G-10 handle not only provides a comfortable grip but also adds a touch of elegance with its sleek black finish. The liner lock mechanism guarantees your safety during use, while the jimping allows for precise control and added security.
Whether you're preparing food, tackling small tasks, or simply opening packages, the Ambitious is the perfect companion. Its palm-sized design from Eric Glesser fits comfortably in your hand, allowing for effortless maneuverability. The lined lanyard hole makes it easy to attach to your gear, ensuring it's always within reach.
Don't be fooled by its size; this knife is built to perform. The skeletonized full-length internal liners reduce weight without compromising strength or functionality. The Ambitious also features a convenient pocket clip, making it easy to carry wherever you go.

Quick! List the most respected and innovative knife companies you can think of. If you know anything about knives, Spyderco is somewhere near the top. Spyderco Inc. makes some of the most unique and downright bizarre knife designs you'll see on the market, but from the number of passionate fans discussing, debating, and learning everything they can about Spyderco knives, it's clear that the company has done something right.
From the Glesser Family and the Spyderco Crew:
Since starting Spyderco we've been told our knives are different, peculiar, even out there. All true. Thinking beyond established knife industry barriers allowed us to introduce new and radical innovations to the knife culture including: One-hand opening, serrations on a folder and a clip to attach a knife to a pocket.
We didn't go into business to rake in a mountain of dough we're here for more selfish reasons- indulging our passion for creating knives. Spyderco is definitely out of the norm in the knife industry in our dedication to researching and developing fresh, improved and better performing materials all with function and reliability being key.
Someone once said to Sal Glesser, Spyderco's owner, 'You must design in the dark because your knives look so strange.' True again. Our recognizable appearance is a result of designing ergonomic functional tools rather than applying lipstick and nylons to a pocketknife. We may look curious, homely, whatever, but we'll never be called unusable or undependable.
Making knives that consistently deliver reliable high-performance requires an ongoing commitment to testing. In our million-dollar testing facility we examine edge retention with a CATRA machine, look for rust development with Q-FOG, check the force needed to open and close a knife. We also repeatedly test for stress, wear, optimal heat-treating and actively search for higher quality, performance enhancing steels and materials.
As a customer you probably don't think about this, or much care, but it allows us to put forth a promise. When you purchase a Spyderco you are buying a high-quality reliable cutting tool designed and manufactured for peak performance and ergonomic comfort. Those Who Know Carry Spyderco.
