The Spyderco Cobol model C273TIP combines innovative design with high-performance materials, making it an essential tool for collectors and everyday users alike. Designed by Paul Alexander, this folding knife features a distinctive upswept blade inspired by traditional Japanese tanto and katana styles, crafted from durable M390 stainless steel with a saber grind that transitions seamlessly into a flat grind at the faceted spine. The blade's precision machining ensures excellent edge retention and corrosion resistance, ideal for demanding tasks.
The unique ball joint non-locking mechanism provides a secure yet easily accessible open and close operation, with ball bearings indexing into blade holes for stability. The extended tail of the blade allows for one-handed opening, reminiscent of a classic straight razor, while the handle boasts solid titanium scales with integral spring arms and seated ball bearings for smooth action. Hand pressure on the tail and a generous choil at the base of the edge enhance grip security, ensuring safe handling during use.
Designed to be ambidextrous, the Cobol includes a reversible deep-pocket wire clip for left or right-side tip-up carry, offering versatile carrying options. The knife measures approximately 3.63 inches when closed, with a lightweight design that makes it practical for everyday carry. Its sleek silver finish and gray handle scales give it a modern aesthetic that complements its advanced functionality.
