Product Description
The Spyderco UpTern™ is a versatile, all-stainless-steel folding knife that strikes an exceptional balance of convenience, cutting performance, and unmistakable Spyderco style. Inspired by the popular byrd Tern, the UpTern adapts that proven ergonomic design into a secure back-lock format, making it a rugged and reliable member of Spyderco’s Value Folder family.

Its symmetrical design includes a fully accessible Trademark Round Hole™ for effortless, ambidextrous one-handed opening.
