Product Description
The Spyderco COBOL™ (C273TI) is a striking fusion of modern and traditional blade design by Paul Alexander, featuring a 3.63" M390 upswept hybrid tanto that blends katana-style point geometry with Americanized tanto strength. Machined from premium M390 particle-metallurgy stainless steel, the blade delivers outstanding edge retention, corrosion resistance, and cutting performance. Gray titanium scales provide durable, lightweight ergonomics and a refined look, while the ball‑joint non‑locking mechanism with seated bearings and integral spring arms offers a smooth, secure open and a unique tactile feel. Ambidextrous features—including a reversible deep-pocket wire clip and generous choil—make the COBOL™ equally at home as a functional EDC or a standout collector’s piece.
- Blade & performance: 3.63" M390 hybrid upswept/tanto blade with saber-to-flat grind transition for superior cutting, tip strength, and long-lasting edge retention.
- Handle & mechanism: Solid gray titanium scales with ball‑joint non‑locking system and integral spring arms for smooth deployment and a secure open feel.
- Carry & usability: Reversible deep-pocket wire clip, generous choil and blade “tail” for safe, controlled grip—designed for ambidextrous use and collector appeal.
