Spyderco Edgerati Black Aluminum Folding Knife

The Spyderco Edgerati in Black sets a DLC-coated 3.57-inch CPM S30V clip point blade with a Compression Lock, made in the USA in an aluminum handle.

Aluminum is an uncommon handle material across Spyderco's broader lineup, since most models generally use G10, FRN, or Micarta instead, so the Edgerati's machined aluminum construction gives it a distinctive weight and feel that stands well apart from the rest of the catalog. CPM S30V is a respected American-made powder steel, prized for a balance of edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. That DLC coating adds extra hardness to the blade surface, improving wear resistance beyond what the bare steel alone gives.

Spyderco's Compression Lock locks the blade with strength while keeping the release lever positioned away from the cutting edge for added safety. Made entirely in the USA with careful, precise machining. It holds its own with anyone wanting a distinctive handle material paired with premium blade steel. Aluminum handles remain rare across the broader knife industry given the machining precision required. Spyderco continues to explore unconventional handle materials across its premium lineup, and the Edgerati stands as one of the clearest examples. Explore more Modern EDC Linerlocks.
