Product Description
The Spyderco Slym™ C271TIP is a pinnacle of modern knife craftsmanship, born from an elite collaboration between Spyderco and Italy’s lionSTEEL®. Designed by Michele Pensato, this folder utilizes lionSTEEL’s proprietary SOLID® technology to create an integral handle machined from a single block of titanium. This rare construction method provides unmatched structural strength and a seamless, streamlined aesthetic that defines the "Skinny" design philosophy.
The 3.42" drop-point blade is crafted from Böhler M390 particle metallurgy stainless steel, a premier "super steel" renowned for its extreme edge retention and corrosion resistance. The blade features a full-flat grind for superior slicing efficiency and rides on a ball-bearing pivot for an ultra-smooth action. Deployment is versatile, featuring both the iconic Trademark Round Hole™ and a removable flipper tab. The obverse side of the gray PVD-coated titanium handle is accented with a stunning Dark Matter Polar Fat Carbon Fiber inlay, while the reverse side houses a robust Reeve Integral Lock (R.I.L.) with a hardened steel interface.
