Product Description
The Spyderco Balance™ C141GPCBL is a masterclass in compact ergonomics and symmetrical design. Originally envisioned by renowned designer Ed Schempp, this updated version features a 2.0" blade crafted from CPM® SPY27®, a cobalt-enriched powder metallurgy stainless steel developed exclusively for Spyderco. This specialized American steel provides an elite balance of "sticky-sharp" edge retention, toughness, and superior corrosion resistance, making it an ideal choice for a precision-driven micro-folder.
The handle is a unique hybrid construction, featuring a textured Cobalt Blue G-10 front scale for a secure grip and a solid stainless steel back scale. This stainless scale houses the Reeve Integral Lock (R.I.L.), providing the rock-solid security of a frame lock in a package that weighs a mere 1.4 ounces. With its closed length of just 2.51 inches and a four-position pocket clip, the Balance is designed to be highly maneuverable and perfectly balanced in the hand, serving as the ultimate discreet EDC tool for those who value engineering excellence.
