Spyderco Astute G-10 Black Plain Folding Knife (C252GP)
Spyderco's Astute is a new addition to its increasingly popular line of value folders such as Tenacious and Efficient. Astute is an attractive knife with a streamlined shape that makes it ergonomic, with no hot spots. Knife profile slides neatly into pocket.
Spyderco's extremely popular Value Folders line takes another turn with Astute. Although it has the same basic design and materials as its brothers, it has a sleeker, more stylish look that is incredibly pocket-friendly. Long, gently curved cutting edge and fully flat ground 8Cr13MoV stainless steel blade provide impressive cutting power and point utility. The ergonomic open-back handle features solid stainless steel inserts for durability, while textured G10 scales provide a secure, non-slip grip. A sturdy liner lock mechanism securely locks the blade in place during use, while a four-position pocket clip and padded lanyard hole allow for all possible carry preferences.
