The Yojimbo 2 Black G10, Black DLC is an advanced EDC folder designed by Michael Janich, self-defense specialist and creator of the Martial Blade Concepts system. Its design was based on the idea of maximum blade control, both in utility and tactical applications. The knife's distinctive line was developed for a natural grip with the thumb extended, which allows precise guiding of the blade and effective operation even in dynamic conditions. Blade was made of CPM S30V steel . Its chemical composition provides high corrosion resistance, edge stability and excellent sharpness retention. The blade with Wharncliffe profile and hollow grind guarantees maximum penetration and precision with minimal cutting resistance. The black DLC coating on the surface supports the tactical aesthetics and utilitarian practicality of the blade. The Handle is made of G10 composite, and its peel-ply texture ensures a high level of grip in any situation. Steel liners, Compression Lock and a four-position retaining clip make this model a right- and left-handed ready tool. The Yojimbo 2 is a model designed for full functionality - both in tactical applications and precision cutting in everyday EDC.
CPM S30V - one of the best knife steels, corrosion-resistant, mechanical stress-resistant American CPM S30V martensitic powder steel with added carbon, chromium and vanadium with a hardness of 58-59 HRC. Developed by Dick Barber of Crucible Industries in collaboration with knife maker Chris Reeve to offer the best combination of strength, abrasion and corrosion resistance. Manufactured by US Crucible Industries according to the Crucible® Particle Metallurgy(CPM) process. The CPM process yields a very homogeneous, high-quality steel with excellent dimensional stability, grindability and ductility compared to steels produced by conventional methods. The alloy contains 1.45% carbon (C) and a significant admixture of vanadium carbides 4.0% (V) and chromium 10.5% (Cr). Thanks to its properties, it holds sharpness for a very long time and provides high corrosion resistance.
Compression-Lock - (similar to Liner-Lock) Blade locking mechanism patented by Spyderco (made in USA). Extremely durable, it provides extreme strength and ease of use. Located on the back of the Handle, it protects the knife from inadvertent locking. When releasing the lock, the fingers are not in the path of the folding Blade.
DLC (Diamond Like Carbon) durability of the blade's surface is enhanced by a matte black nanocomposite coating, which exhibits the unique properties of natural diamonds, such as exceptional hardness and low friction, also resistance to corrosion. It is one of the most resistant coatings to scratches and abrasion that are used in the industry, including the knife industry.
Blade - made of CPM S30V powder steel , developed by Crucible. This material offers high corrosion resistance, excellent abrasive properties and edge durability, making it ideal for heavy-duty utility tools. The blade has a Wharncliffe profile, which, combined with a straight cutting edge line and aggressive tip, allows for maximum control when making cuts. The hollow grind (concave) improves working sharpness and reduces material resistance when cutting, while the black DLC finish reduces light reflections and makes it easier to keep the surface clean. Unfolding the knife is made possible by the classic Spyderhole, allowing for quick and intuitive opening with one hand. The entire design has been subordinated to efficiency in operation and precise handling, making the Blade of the C85GPBBK2 model ideal for tactical applications and precision EDC tasks.
Handle - made of G10 laminate . Textured peel-ply surface provides high grip even with wet hands or wearing gloves. The profile of the handle has been tailored to the anatomical position of the fingers - with a pronounced recess for the index finger - which translates into maximum control and stability during cuts. Inside, steel liners are used , partially relieved, which allows to maintain the rigidity of the structure at a moderate weight. The Compression Lock - a mechanism valued for its reliability and simplicity of one-handed operation - is responsible for security. The whole is complemented by a steel four-position clip, allowing mounting in Tip-Up or Tip-Down configuration - for both right- and left-handed users. Handle design of the Yojimbo 2 model combines ergonomics, material durability and functionality, providing full support in work.
