CPM SPY27 - a proprietary blend of alloys, including vanadium, molybdenum, niobium, nitrogen and cobalt. The high-alloy stainless steel contains 1.4% carbon and a 1% admixture of niobium (Nb), one of the best carbides, which contributes to the steel's wear resistance. Thanks to its properties, the steel holds sharpness for a very long time and guarantees aggressive cuts for a long time. It is easy to sharpen, corrosion resistant and contains a high admixture of 14% chromium. It provides good strength and cutting edge retention, as well as a fine-grained structure. Produced by US Crucible Industries using the particle metallurgy / Crucible® Particle Metallurgy (CPM) method. The CPM process creates a very homogeneous, high-quality steel with excellent dimensional stability, grindability and toughness compared to steels produced by conventional methods.

Blade - with Leaf-Shaped profile , 3 mm thick. Plain blade is derived with Full Flat Grind for increased cutting properties. The flat grind guarantees perfect geometry of the cutting edge with a sharp tip, reduces the weight of the knife and presents a beautiful satin finish. The enlarged 14mm round SpyderHole cutout (Spyderco patent) allows the knife to be opened even with wet, sweaty hands. Finger Choil, an arched undercut for the index finger, and a notched thumb ramp on the back of the Blade for efficient folder handling. The whole is locked by a simple and proven Liner Lock.

Handle - in cobalt blue color, which in Spyderco is assigned to the wedges with CPM SPY27. Non-slipbi-directional textured covers (Bi-Directional Texturing) and notched notches on the back of the Handle (Spine Jimping) strengthen the grip even with wet hands. Made of FRN (Fiberglass Reinforced Nylon), a fiberglass-reinforced nylon plastic. The sheaths are attached to a stainless steel spacer / connector for the Handle grips (backspacer), which provides strength and rigidity to the entire structure. Metal wire clip (steel wire clip) with two-position (right/left) attachment. In the backspacer of the Handle a hole (lanyard hole) for a safety or decorative cord.
