Matriarch 2 Emerson Opener Folding Pocket Knife with 3" VG-10 Steel Blade and FRN Handle - EDC Knife for Men and Women, Perfect for Hunting, Tactical, Camping - SpyderEdge - C12SBBK2W

Another awesome and excellent Spyderco knife, the Matriarch offers a specialized blade and cutting edge that excels for certain kinds of cutting tasks and self-defense applications. This knife is an excellent alternative to the venerable and vaunted Spyderco Civilian, and offers the clever Emerson Opener appendage on the wickedly sharp and aggressive blade. I'm a big fan of the Emerson Opener feature, as it offers a legal alternative to the mechanized switchblade, and with a practiced hand, can be deployed every bit as quickly. The Emerson Opener is the lowest tech solution imaginable, and therefore it's superlatively reliable as well. I see no downside to adding this clever feature to an already great knife. The workmanship and materials are pure Spyderco, which is to say they're first-rate! This is the eighth Spyderco knife I have purchased for myself or as a gift--I think that highly of them! As with any of the top-drawer Spyderco Knives, I would recommend that anybody considering one for purchase, go right ahead and make the buy! I cannot imagine that you'll be disappointed! And the prices and fast delivery via Amazon.com can't be beat! Note: Had this knife been offered with the black titanium carbonitride-coated blade, I would have opted for that feature as well. I do like the black blades. Supplemental 11/28/2104: In describing the virtues of this blade Vs. the Spyderco Ulize to my somewhat mesmerized wife, I used a sheet of everyday paper towel. Even with the subtlest swipe, the Matriarch's blade bites into and retrieves a tiny piece of the towel--there is no escaping this. A slightly more aggressive swipe and the blade captures and owns the shredded towel--we're talking a mere flick of the wrist. Like I said, Wicked! This aggressively curved, serrated blade is to knives, what hollow-point bullets are to firearm cartridges. Taking lessons from the "Master Engineer", we see the sharp, capturing curve of the Eagle's talon, combined with the razor-sharp serrations of the Great White's teeth. I can readily see where career fisherman, horsemen, and jumpmasters would benefit from a knife like the Matriarch; but if I were to buy this knife for such a person, I'd certainly add a quality lanyard. If you do buy this particular knife as a gift, do that little test with the paper towel and the recipient will immediately see the benefits of this amazing blade! By contrast, the latter of the aforementioned tests (a slightly more aggressive swipe) using the forward end of the blade of the Spyderco Ulize, cleanly slices through the paper towel, and draws back without capturing it. This is a completely different slicing and cutting process, though I've no doubt that a cut made into a more substantial material, past the pronounced curve in the Ulize's crazy-sharp blade would also demonstrate a capture-and-cut effect. See my review on the Spyderco Ulize... Both blades perform as described straight from the box. In both cases, the paper towel was held loosely, supported from just one end with one hand, while flicking the knives with the wrist of the opposite hand. At any rate, be careful! Take every precaution, lest you find yourself getting stitched up in the ER! Spyderco Knives are available across a wide range of styles and prices, and they make impressive, well-received gifts! I gave my oldest son an all-black Spyderco Endura for his birthday in 2013, and he still talks about the comments and compliments he receives on that knife! A visit to the OEM website will allow you to peruse the many models Spyderco offers, then check back here at Amazon for your best price and fastest delivery! Spyderco even makes classy-looking all-stainless folding knives, appropriate for the executive types, as well as cute-but-functional knives for the girly-girls on your list. Frankly, I think an EDC (Every Day Carry) pocket knife capable of slicing through a seatbelt is a good idea for any responsible adult, male or female. My wife carry's one of two Spyderco Knives daily, as does my daughter-in-law. And no, I do not work for or represent Spyderco... I've just yet to be unimpressed with a Spyderco purchase is all! RayB

Great knife. Wicked sharp and the one-handed pocket opening hook mechanism works very well once you get the hang of it. Extremely well built like all Spyderco blades I have ever purchased. The stainless blade is great for humid environments, the handle material is the usual Spyderco material with non-slip surface and fits a large hand nicely. The blade lock is sturdy and hold the blade in place. The knife is very light for a large pocket knife, extremely well built, the clip is sturdy and like all Spyderco knives the lightness of the knife is a huge selling point. Fits down into my jean pockets and I carry it whenever I am going out anyplace that I want to know I have a knife on me... including protection. It is 3 1/4" blade length along the cutting edge (serrated) so it is legal carry in jurisdictions that allow knives under 3 1/2" blade length to be conceal carried without being a "weapon." Note that this knife is not efficient for many working uses that require you to stab, pry or prod with the tip of the knife... it is not necessarily a basic utility knife for every purpose... a smaller traditional folding blade or multi-tool might work better for a pocket utility tools... this one is made for pulling the tip across and into things (slashing motions), and the design of the tip causes the knife to pull into the material being slashed/cut. It will certainly work to open boxes, cut ropes, prune small branches and other working tasks that require you to pull the knife through the material. It is extremely sharp with a very thin tip and the blade serrated all the way to the tip. As long as you realize the design limitations, this is a great knife... especially if you are interested in a personal-defense design.

If you are looking for a budget-friendly knife for the express purpose of self-defence, look no further. Pros: VG10 Steel, doesnt need super edge retention, since it shouldnt be used daily (unless you somehow live in the worst neighborhood in the world), the edge it holds with the spyder serrations is disturbingly sharp, and since VG10 has good rust resistance, it doesnt require intensive maintenance and care that most carbon-steels need. Epic cutting power, tried it on cardboard, it sank in and cut through with no effort, it felt like pulling a hot spoon through ice cream. I also nearly lost the tip of my finger when I was trying to flick it open like an idiot... the force of the spring keeping the knife closed was enough to slash open my middle finger. This blade will definitely cut down to the bone with very little effort. Price, for $70, you get a very similar blade to the Civilian, even though it is made from different steel and has a different handle altogether. Silky smooth opening, the feeling of opening the blade is like sliding around on a freshly waxed hardwood floor with cotton socks on. nice and smooth, but has enough resistance for you to feel it, no grittiness at all. Cons: The handle, they literally took the handle of an Endura and slapped it on the knife, the handle is great for an Endura, and is ergonomic and everything, but you can tell it was not designed to fit like a glove. There is a slight gap when the blade is closed where the blade waves back between the blade and the handle, and it looks and feels awkward when closed. the gap is not enough to be a safety hazard, but it is just awkward as heck to me. If you have any issues with it, they likely can be fixed very easily. If there is blade play, or if the blade feels too tight and takes too much effort to open, adjust the pivot screw. Spyderco knives tend to arrive from the factory with the pivot screw pretty much spot on to what it needs to be, the range of tightness that is more than acceptable is quite wide compared to other manufacturers from what Ive noticed. My blade was perfect from the factory.

Lo más mejor en su tipo Original Nueva

Beim Matriarch 2 handelt es sich um kein Messer zum Schnitzen, Obst schneiden oder Pakete öffnen. Die Klinge ist konstruiert um möglichst leicht Verletzungen am menschlichen Körper zu verursachen. Um es schöner zu beschreiben; Es ist ein Messer zur Selbstverteidigung. Was ist bei so einem Messer wichtig? Wirkung: Zum Glück musste ich das Messer noch nicht einsetzen. Es hat eine rasiermesserscharfe, geschwungene Klinge mit Wellenschliff. Man muss keine Kampferfahrung haben um zu wissen, dass man damit auch ohne Übung sein Gegenüber verletzen und sich selbst verteidigen kann. Öffnungsmechanismus: Hier finden wir das altbewährte Spyderco Loch Feature in Kombination mit dem altbewährten Emerson Wave Feature. Auf beide Weisen kriegt man das Messer schnell einhändig geöffnet. Griffigkeit: Das Messer liegt traumhaft in der Hand. Ich kannte das Griffmaterial (FRN) vorher noch nicht. FRN steht für Fiberglass Reinforced Nylon, also Glasfaserverstärktes Nylon. Sollte also definitiv den einen oder anderen Schlag aushalten. Auf jeden Fall ist der Stoff leicht & mit der beim Matriarch 2 vorhandenen Riffelung sehr griffig. Optik: Besser als sich verteidigen zu müssen ist natürlich die körperliche Konfrontation zu vermeiden. Dieses Messer sieht bösartig aus. Einschüchternd. Ich persönlich würde das Weite suchen wenn mein Gegenüber dieses Messer zieht. Verarbeitung: Wer Spyderco Qualität kennt weiss was er hier erwarten kann. Da wackelt und ruckelt nichts, weder im geöffnetem noch im geschlossenem Zustand. Die Klinge wird fest arretiert, hat kein Spiel und ist perfekt zentriert. Beim Abnehmen des Pocket-Clips stellte ich fest, dass die Schrauben gesichert sind. Mit mittelfester Schraubensicherung - also leicht aufzubekommen. Traumhaft! Den Clip kann man übrigens auf beiden Seiten anbringen. Kurz noch zum Stahl. Bei VG10 handelt es sich um rostfreien, pflegeleichten Stahl. Auch diesen hatte ich bisher noch nie. Da ich das Messer wie gesagt noch nie benutzen musste kann ich leider nichts weiteres zur Schnitthaltigkeit oder Schleifbarkeit sagen. Das ist bei einem Messer zur Selbstverteidigung meiner Meinung nach auch eher zweitrangig.

スパイダルコはデザイン、切れ味とも秀逸です。 素直にカッコイイ。

日常の段ボール開け破棄、ロープ紐類を切ったり等、カッターやハサミでやっていた作業には役不足（笑）。

実物は思ってたよりかっこいいです。デリカ4の安っぽさを知ってたので想定外でした。めっちゃ切れます。買って良かったです。
