The Spyderco Edgerati C266BKALBKP is a folding knife designed by Sal Glesser, distinguished by its openwork handle inspired by the tubular frame of the Maserati “Birdcage” race car. The model features a blade made of Crucible CPM S30V steel, a black DLC finish, and a milled aluminum handle.
The Edgerati features a Thumb Hole opening mechanism, a Compression Lock® locking system, and a reversible right/left tip-up clip. The open-frame design exposes the mechanism’s components and helps reduce the knife’s weight while maintaining a full-size blade and a handle that ensures a stable grip.
Crucible CPM S30V – Powdered Stainless Steel for EDC
The blade is made of Crucible CPM S30V powder steel. This is a powder steel valued for its good combination of wear resistance, cutting edge stability, and corrosion resistance. It performs well in everyday tasks such as opening packages, cutting cardboard, tape, and cord.
Modified Clip Point, Full Flat Grind, and Black DLC
The Modified Clip Point profile provides a functional tip and a versatile cutting edge. Full Flat Grind facilitates smooth blade glide through materials, while the Black DLC coating gives the blade a uniform, technical look that matches the black handle.
Openwork aluminum handle with Compression Lock®
The handle is milled from aluminum and features a distinctive openwork design inspired by Maserati’s “Birdcage” structure. The openings reduce weight and reveal the simplified locking mechanism. Compression Lock® stabilizes the blade when open, and the textured finger groove enhances control over the knife during use.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I care for and sharpen Crucible CPM S30V steel?
After use, clean the blade and dry it thoroughly. Diamond stones, high-quality ceramic, or a sharpening guide work well for sharpening CPM S30V.
How does the Compression Lock® work?
The Compression Lock® uses a spring-loaded locking mechanism located at the spine of the Handle. Once opened, it stabilizes the blade, and releasing it does not require placing your fingers in the path of the folding blade.
What are the benefits of the Spyderco Edgerati’s openwork handle?
The openwork design reduces the knife’s weight and gives it a distinctive look. It also exposes part of the locking mechanism, highlighting the technical form inspired by the Maserati “Birdcage” frame.
What is the Modified Clip Point blade good for?
The Modified Clip Point blade is well-suited for opening packages, cutting cardboard, tape, cord, and other utility materials. The shaped tip also allows for more precise work.
What does “tip-up clip” mean?
The tip-up configuration means that when the knife is closed, the tip of the blade points upward. On this model, the clip can be moved to either the right or left side of the Handle.
