Szabofly Spyderco

Post by Milu »

The blade is VG-10 or 440C or 154 CM Stainless steel, The blade has a nice, brushed finish which is very practical. The handles are cast stainless steel with a lightly bead-blasted matte finish.

Overall length closed: 6.0 inches (15.25cm)
Overall length open: 9.77 inches (24.8cm)
Blade length (AKTI Protocol): 4.23 inches (10.75cm)
Blade stock: 1/8 inch (3.18mm)
Width closed: 1.65 inches (4.2cm)
Width open: 1.65 inches (4.2cm)
Weight: 5 1/4 ounces (150g)


I just treated myself to one. First impressions: WOW!

In my clumsy hands it doesn't flip as well as a spyderfly or a benchmade but it has an excellent feel and fits very well in the hand with every grip I tried. The blade is sharp and the latch closes out of the way, not meeting with the edge when you flip it closed (why on earth do manufacturers so often put the latch on the the handle that covers the edge so you hit it? Am I missing something?) Mine is 154cm. The first were VG10 and I believe they later came in 440C. Very cool 8)

$190, but you may be able to find one for less if you shop around.
