Spyderco Ambitious Lightweight Folding Knife 2.31in Plain Black Blade

The Spyderco Ambitious Lightweight Folding Knife is a compact, hard-working tool designed to deliver big performance in a small package. As the smallest member of Spyderco’s acclaimed Value Folder series, the Ambitious is built for those who demand reliability, functionality, and portability. This lightweight version features significant upgrades over its predecessor, combining Spyderco’s innovative design with rugged materials for optimal cutting power.

The knife’s 2.31-inch leaf-shaped blade is crafted from 8Cr13MoV stainless steel, known for its excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and ease of sharpening. A full-flat grind ensures smooth cutting performance, while the black oxide finish reduces glare and enhances stealth. Spyderco’s signature round thumb hole enables quick, one-handed blade deployment, making this knife an excellent companion for everyday carry or fieldwork.

The Ambitious Lightweight replaces the G-10 handle scales of the original with textured black injection-molded fiberglass-reinforced nylon (FRN). This material reduces overall weight while offering exceptional strength and durability. Spyderco’s Bi-Directional Texture pattern provides a secure, slip-resistant grip in all conditions, ensuring confidence with every use. Supporting the handle are full skeletonized stainless steel liners, which add structural integrity without unnecessary bulk.

For versatility, the Ambitious Lightweight features a four-position pocket clip, allowing for tip-up or tip-down carry on either side. This adaptable design makes the knife convenient to carry regardless of user preference. The integrated lanyard hole offers additional carry options, perfect for those who prefer added security or quick access.

All of the knife’s hardware, including the clip and liners, is coated in a sleek black finish to match the blade. This unified, non-reflective design enhances the knife’s tactical appeal while maintaining its low-profile aesthetic. Weighing just 2.8 ounces and measuring 3.58 inches when closed, the Ambitious Lightweight strikes the perfect balance between portability and capability.
