The Spyderco Mantra 4 C274CFP is a lightweight folding knife designed by Eric Glesser. The model features a Leaf-Shaped blade profile, 8Cr13MoV stainless steel, and a Carbon Fiber / G10 laminate handle with a distinct peel-ply texture.
The blade can be opened using a minimalist Front Flipper or via a Thumb Hole. Ball bearings ensure smooth operation of the mechanism, and the Liner Lock secures the blade when open. An open back, a single recessed liner, and a wire deep-carry clip help keep the weight down to just 54 g.
8Cr13MoV – easy-to-maintain stainless steel
The blade is made of 8Cr13MoV stainless steel. It is a practical material for everyday use that is relatively easy to sharpen and performs well in typical EDC tasks. After use, it is a good idea to clean the blade and dry it thoroughly.
Leaf-Shaped, Full Flat Grind, and Satin
The Leaf-Shaped profile provides a versatile cutting edge and a functional tip. The full flat grind facilitates smooth cutting of cardboard, tape, cord, and other materials, while the satin finish gives the blade a clean, classic look.
Carbon Fiber / G10 Laminate with peel-ply texture
The handle is made of Carbon Fiber / G10 laminate with a peel-ply texture, which increases grip and emphasizes the folder’s utilitarian character. A single, recessed stainless steel liner reinforces the construction around the pivot and lock. The wire deep-carry clip can be moved to either the right or left side of the handle.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I care for and sharpen 8Cr13MoV steel?
After use, clean the blade and dry it thoroughly. 8Cr13MoV steel can be sharpened on water stones, ceramic sharpening wheels, diamond sharpeners, or using a guided sharpening system.
How does the Liner Lock work?
The Liner Lock uses a spring-loaded part of the steel inlay that slides under the base of the blade when the knife is opened. The mechanism stabilizes the blade, and releasing it requires pushing the liner to the side.
What is Carbon Fiber / G10 Laminate?
Carbon Fiber / G10 Laminate is a layered material combining a carbon fiber surface with a structural G10 base. It offers low weight, rigidity, and a distinctive appearance.
What does the peel-ply texture offer?
The peel-ply texture increases the grip of the handle and helps maintain a stable grip. It is more pronounced than the smooth finish used in the black G10 variant.
What does “tip-up clip” mean?
The tip-up configuration means that when the knife is closed, the tip of the blade points upward. The clip can be mounted on the right or left side of the Handle.
