Product Description
Spyderco SLYM (C271TIP) 3.42" Bohler M390 Stonewashed Drop Point Plain Blade, Gray PVD Titanium Handle w/ Dark Matter Polar Fat Carbon Inlay
The Spyderco Slym, a creation born from the collaboration between lionSTEEL® and Spyderco, is a testament to modern knife craftsmanship. It combines precision engineering with user-centered design, making it a standout tool for knife enthusiasts and professionals alike.
Innovative Blade Design
At the heart of the Slym is its meticulously crafted blade, which stems from Michele Pensato’s renowned Skinny design. The blade is full-flat-ground, providing an excellent balance of strength and cutting efficiency. The drop-point shape is versatile, suitable for a wide range of cutting tasks. Crafted from Böhler-Uddeholm’s M390 particle metallurgy stainless steel, the blade offers exceptional edge retention and corrosion resistance.
Trademark Round Hole and Flipper Tab
The Slym features Spyderco's Trademark Round Hole, enhancing the knife's user friendliness by allowing for easy, one-handed opening. Additionally, the blade includes a removable flipper tab, offering flexibility and convenience for different user preferences. The incorporation of ball-bearing washers ensures an ultra-smooth action, making the deployment of the blade quick and effortless.
Precision-Engineered Handle
The Slym's handle is a marvel of engineering, precision machined from a single piece of titanium using lionSTEEL’s SOLID® technology. This construction method not only provides strength and durability but also contributes to the knife’s sleek, streamlined appearance. The handle is coated with a durable gray physical vapor deposition (PVD) finish, enhancing its resistance to wear and tear.
Aesthetic and Functional Details
Adding to its visual appeal, the handle features a striking black-and-white Dark Matter Polar Fat Carbon Fiber inlay on the obverse side. This detail not only provides a unique look but also improves grip and handling.
Reliable Locking Mechanism
On the reverse side of the handle, you'll find the sturdy Reeve Integral Lock (R.I.L.) mechanism. This lock includes a long-wearing hardened steel interface, ensuring reliable blade security during use. The design of the lock complements the overall aesthetics and functionality of the Slym, offering peace of mind to users.
Enhanced Accessibility and Portability
The Spyderco Slym is designed for quick and easy access. It includes a generously sized lanyard hole, allowing users to attach additional carrying options or accessories. Moreover, the handle features a butt-mounted, deep-pocket clip that is reversible for both left and right-side carry. This feature ensures that the Slym is always within reach, ready to perform when needed.
