Spyderco UpTern Stainless Lockback Knife

The Spyderco UpTern in Stainless sets a 2.88-inch satin-finished 8Cr13MoV blade with a stainless steel handle and a round hole opener, a compact everyday folder built for easy carry.

Spyderco's signature round hole, cut directly into the blade, lets a thumb deploy the knife with fast one-handed speed, no separate stud or flipper needed. The all-stainless construction gives the UpTern a solid, one-piece feel that a lot of folders with plastic scales simply can't match, and the satin finish gives a clean, classic look while resisting fingerprints noticeably better than a full mirror polish. At this compact size, the UpTern stays easy to carry without adding noticeable pocket presence.

A lockback secures the blade open with a spine-mounted release, long considered one of the most trusted traditional locking mechanisms because of how much force it takes to fail. Spyderco built this piece as an accessible, no-frills everyday folder for daily use. That makes it the one to choose when you want Spyderco's signature opener in a compact everyday folder. The UpTern line brings Spyderco's design sensibility down to a more accessible, everyday price point. It's the kind of straightforward, honest folder that earns daily use without any complaint at all. Explore more Lockback Knives.
