Matriarch 2 SpyderEdge

The female leader of an elephant herd is the Matriarch. She is an older, wise female, whose job is overseeing the safety and well being of the herd. The Spyderco Matriarch Folder, like the matriarchal elephant, is a protector. It was created in the 1990s at the request of our South African distributor. During that time he was selling numerous self-defense Knives to women in Johannesburg. The crime rate there had soared and to protect themselves and their families, his female clientele were requesting an easy-to-carry folder for self-defense, to avoid being victimized. We developed a smaller and lighter weight version of the Spyderco Civilian, called the Matriarch to fit the bill.
