Product Description

The Spyderco ButtonUp C275CFPS is a first for Spyderco — the brand's first-ever manual-opening Button Lock folder, designed by Eric Glesser. The ButtonUp combines a high-strength Button Lock with ball-bearing pivot washers to produce one of the smoothest, most fidget-friendly folder actions in the Spyderco lineup. Carbon fiber/G-10 laminate handle. Reversible hourglass clip for left or right tip-up carry. 8Cr13MoV full flat grind at 3.27". At $75.00, the ButtonUp is the entry point to the Spyderco Button Lock platform — and it earns its place there.

The blade is ground from 8Cr13MoV — a Chinese stainless steel that delivers a reliable balance of edge retention, corrosion resistance, and ease of sharpening at an accessible price point. The full flat grind runs from spine to edge across the full blade height, maximizing the cutting geometry for slicing performance. The modified clip point profile provides a controlled, versatile tip suitable for everyday tasks alongside the generous primary edge. Satin finish keeps the blade clean and field-appropriate. Eric Glesser's design brief was simple: bring the Button Lock mechanism to a manual folder with the smooth, satisfying action that the Spyderco platform demands — and the ball-bearing pivot washers deliver exactly that. Spyderco describes the ButtonUp as "fidget-friendly" for a reason.

The handle is constructed from carbon fiber/G-10 laminate scales — not solid carbon fiber, but a laminate that combines the visual character of carbon fiber with the structural reliability of G-10. The open-backed design makes the handle lightweight and easy to clean. Nested stainless steel microliners around the pivot and lock reinforce the handle structure where it matters most. The reversible hourglass clip anchors to a second set of microliners at the butt end of the handle and straddles a lined lanyard tube that accommodates fobs and lanyards for retention. Reversible for left or right tip-up carry without modification. Made in China by Spyderco.

Spyderco ButtonUp C275CFPS: Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about the Spyderco ButtonUp manual Button Lock carbon fiber folder, answered by the Knifeworks team.

What makes the Spyderco ButtonUp C275CFPS significant in the Spyderco lineup?

The ButtonUp C275CFPS is Spyderco’s first-ever manual-opening Button Lock folder — a meaningful first for a brand that built its reputation on the Compression Lock, Back Lock, and Ball Bearing Lock. Designed by Eric Glesser, the ButtonUp brings the Button Lock mechanism to a Spyderco platform for the first time, combining it with ball-bearing pivot washers to produce what Spyderco describes as one of the smoothest, most fidget-friendly folder actions they have ever produced. At $75.00 with a carbon fiber/G-10 laminate handle, it is also the most accessible entry point to the Spyderco Button Lock platform.

How does the Button Lock work on the Spyderco ButtonUp?

The Button Lock on the ButtonUp uses a side-actuated spring-loaded button on the handle spine that locks the blade in the open position when it reaches full extension. To close the knife, you depress the button to disengage the lock and fold the blade back into the handle. The mechanism is straightforward, positive, and reliable — pressing the button is intuitive and the lock engages automatically when the blade opens. On the ButtonUp, the Button Lock is paired with ball-bearing pivot washers that provide exceptionally smooth, low-friction blade rotation, making the overall action smoother and more satisfying than a standard washer pivot at comparable price points.

What is the carbon fiber/G-10 laminate handle on the ButtonUp, and how is it different from solid carbon fiber?

Solid carbon fiber handle scales are machined from a single piece of carbon fiber composite, which can be expensive and difficult to shape consistently. Carbon fiber/G-10 laminate combines layers of woven carbon fiber and G-10 (fiberglass-reinforced epoxy) bonded together, giving the handle the visual character and surface texture of carbon fiber at a more accessible cost while retaining G-10’s structural reliability and ease of manufacturing. On the ButtonUp, the laminate scales are open-backed — the inside face of the handle is not enclosed by a full backspacer, which reduces weight and makes the handle easier to clean. Nested stainless steel microliners at the pivot and lock add structural reinforcement where the handle is most stressed.

What is the reversible hourglass clip on the ButtonUp, and how does it work?

The hourglass clip is named for its characteristic shape — wider at each end and narrower in the middle — which allows it to be mounted in either orientation on either side of the handle without requiring a different clip. The ButtonUp’s hourglass clip is reversible for left- or right-side tip-up carry by repositioning it to the opposite set of screw holes. The clip anchors to a second set of microliners nested in the butt end of the handle for a secure mount that doesn’t compromise the handle structure. It straddles a lined lanyard tube at the butt end, which allows the easy attachment of fobs, lanyards, or retention cords without removing the clip.

Is the Spyderco ButtonUp made in the USA like some other Spyderco knives?

No — the ButtonUp C275CFPS is made in China. Spyderco produces knives at several facilities worldwide, including their Golden, Colorado USA facility, as well as manufacturing partners in Japan, Taiwan, and China. China production allows Spyderco to offer the ButtonUp at $75.00 with the Button Lock mechanism and carbon fiber/G-10 laminate handle — a price point that would not be achievable with USA or Japan production. The ButtonUp carries Spyderco’s manufacturer lifetime guarantee regardless of country of manufacture.
