Spyderco PITS 2 Gray Titanium Folding Knife

The Spyderco PITS 2 SlipIt is one of the brand's most exotic pieces, a satin-finished 2.74-inch M398 drop point blade fitted to a gray titanium handle with a traditional SlipIt mechanism, made in Italy.

M398 is an extreme powder steel, prized for edge retention that ranks among the very highest of any production knife steel available today, a meaningful step above even premium alloys like S30V or VG-10. The SlipIt mechanism is a traditional slip-joint design, no locking bar at all, with the blade held open by spring tension rather than a mechanical lock, a callback to classic pocketknife engineering rather than a modern tactical folder. Gray titanium resists corrosion completely and holds up to hard daily use far better than a standard handle material.

Made in Italy, a distinctive origin among Spyderco's broader manufacturing lineup spanning Japan, Taiwan, and the United States. SlipIt models remain rare across Spyderco's broader catalog, since most modern folders use a mechanical locking mechanism. This kind of design harkens back to Spyderco's earliest roots in traditional cutlery, long before the brand became known for tactical folders. Explore more Traditional Knives.
