Exclusive Design Spyderco Polestar, 3.3″ CTS BD1 Blade, Gray G10 Handle – C220GPGY

Designed specifically for budget-conscious knife users the Spyderco Polestar is hands down one of the best values on the market. Inspired by the design of the best-selling byrd Raven 2 it is also a shining example of “reverse evolution” in the Spyderco product line.

The Polestar’s leaf-shaped blade is crafted from American-made CTS BD1 stainless steel and features a fully accessible Trademark Round Hole for quick ambidextrous one-hand opening. Its full-flat grind PlainEdge cutting edge and distal taper give it an exceptional combination of edge geometry point utility and low-friction cutting performance. Unlike the Raven 2 its edge extends the full length of the blade and does not include an index-finger choil. This maximizes the usable length of the cutting edge and allows powerful cuts with the heel of the blade.

The Polestar’s lightweight ergonomic open-backed handle features full skeletonized stainless steel liners that provide outstanding structural strength and form the foundation of a stout LinerLock mechanism. To ensure a secure hand-filling grip the liners are capped with non-slip textured gray G-10 scales. A strategically placed relief cut in the obverse side scale allows easy release of the lock mechanism and makes one-handed operation of the knife simple and intuitive. The handle also includes a four-position hourglass clip with a broad triangular base that offers a choice of tip-up or tip-down carry on either side of the body.
