Spyderco C266BKALBKP Edgerati Folder - DLC Plain Edge CPM-S30V Blade - Black Finish CNC Aluminum Handle - Compression Lock

The brainchild of Spyderco co-founder Sal Glesser, the Edgerati translates his deep interest in high-performance sports cars into a remarkable knife design. Its pierced, geometric handle was inspired by the frame of the legendary “birdcage” Maserati, which revolutionized sports car design. True to that spirit, the Edgerati’s handle scales are painstakingly machined from solid aircraft-grade aluminum and hardcoat anodized to create an exceptional blend of strength, light weight, non-slip texture, and dramatic style. They also provide a view of the knife’s streamlined Compression Lock mechanism, which consists of a stainless steel lock bar nested into a machined pocket in the obverse-side scale. The knife’s straight-spined, full-flat-ground blade is crafted from CPM-S30V particle metallurgy stainless steel. Available in both PlainEdge and SpyderEdge configurations, it features a textured index-finger choil that allows a forward-positioned grip for enhanced control. The Edgerati’s broad-based pocket clip is reversible for left or right-side tip-up carry and complements the blade’s fully accessible Trademark Round Hole to allow swift, positive deployment with either hand.

This expression of the Edgerati highlights its refined design even further with a stunning all-black theme. Its blade is cloaked in a Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) coating, while its handle features a matching hardcoat anodized black coating. Following suit, the knife’s lock bar, pocket clip, and all other handle hardware also sport matching black finishes.
