Spyderco Cobol
Paul Alexander ranks among Spyderco's most popular designers with his distinctive "techno-primitive" style that blends futuristic lines with classic simplicity. The COBOL showcases his unique Ball Joint Non-Locking Mechanism with dramatic, Asian-inspired looks. The upswept blade mixes traditional Japanese tanto with Americanized katana-style point. M390 particle metallurgy steel gets precision machining with saber ground primary bevel flowing into flat grind at the faceted tip. The extended "tail" enables one-handed opening like a classic straight razor. Solid titanium scales house integral spring arms and seated ball bearings. Ball bearings index into blade holes when opened for secure positioning. Hand pressure on the tail and generous choil guarantee a safe grip. Completely ambidextrous design includes reversible deep-pocket wire clip for left or right-side, tip-up carry.
