Spyderco Autonomy 2 Automatic Knife Black G10 3.5in Plain Drop Point SPC165GP2

The Spyderco Autonomy 2 is a purpose-built automatic folding knife engineered for demanding real-world environments. Originally developed to meet the rigorous needs of U.S. Coast Guard rescue swimmers, the Autonomy 2 has since been reimagined for broader utility, blending professional-grade reliability with practical everyday carry functionality.

At the heart of the Autonomy 2 is a 3.5-inch drop point blade crafted from LC200N stainless steel—a nitrogen-based alloy known for its exceptional corrosion resistance. This blade steel offers near-total immunity to rust, making it an ideal choice for maritime professionals, first responders, and anyone operating in wet or high-humidity conditions. The satin finish enhances its clean, tactical look while maintaining Spyderco’s renowned cutting performance.

The out-the-side automatic action is activated by a large, glove-friendly push button that delivers fast, one-handed blade deployment. A secondary safety lock ensures peace of mind by preventing accidental activation, particularly important in high-stress or hazardous situations. Spyderco’s attention to safety and reliability is evident throughout the design, making this knife a trusted companion in both professional and personal settings.

The black G-10 handle scales offer a rugged, non-slip grip and house full stainless steel liners for added strength and stability. At 4.94 inches closed and weighing 5.5 ounces, the Autonomy 2 balances solid construction with manageable carry weight. The design includes a lanyard hole and a reversible hourglass-shaped pocket clip, providing ambidextrous tip-up carry options for left- or right-handed users.

Ergonomics is a central focus of Autonomy 2. Its textured handle and oversized firing button make operation intuitive and secure, even in wet, cold, or gloved conditions. Whether you’re on a job site, a rescue mission, or tackling everyday tasks, this knife delivers dependable performance with minimal maintenance.

Proudly made in the USA, the Spyderco Autonomy 2 represents the brand’s commitment to innovation, quality, and utility in the field.
