One of Spyderco's most recognizable knives, it has gained a slew of followers both in the military and among civilian customers. The full-size handle makes it easy to use the folder with gloves as well as those with large hands. The reinforced, open design makes it easy to clean and adjust the folder. Manufactured at the Spyderco factory in the USA (Golden, Colorado).
CPM S110V - a high-alloyed martensitic tool steel with a hardness of 58-61 HRC, manufactured using the Crucible® Particle Metallurgy (CPM) process. The process begins with a homogeneous bath of molten high-alloy steel, which is pumped through a nozzle at high pressure with nitrogen gas to produce a stream of small spherical droplets that quickly solidify into powder particles. The small particle size creates micro ingots, drastically reducing alloy segregation in the steel and providing an extremely fine carbide microstructure when the powder is processed into finished steel. CPM S110V alloy contains a high 2.8% carbon content and a significant admixture of niobium, vanadium carbides and chromium. Thanks to its properties, it holds sharpness for a very long time and provides high corrosion resistance. This unique steel is produced at Crucible® Industries' steel mills.
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.
Blade - modified Clip Point profile with enlarged 14 mm SpyderHole notch (Spyderco patent) for quick opening of the knife also with a glove, enlarged thumb ramp with notches (spine jimping), which helps control the large blade. Index Finger Choil (notched profiled undercut for the index finger between the Handle and the cutting edge), prevents the folder from sliding in the hand when making powerful cuts. The Plain smooth blade, combined with the Full Flat Grind, gives excellent cutting edge geometry and extreme cutting performance.
Handle - full-length, contoured, covered with lightweight, non-slip textured grips made of durable, temperature- and chemical-resistant G-10 composite (pressure-pressed fiberglass with synthetic resin) in dark blue, screwed to steel liners. The folder is equipped with a screw-on metal clip with 4-way clip positions (up/down, right/left). In the rear part of the grip an enlarged hole (lanyard hole) for pulling a lanyard or safety line.
