Spyderco Autonomy 2 Automatic Knife Blackout Standard Edge AUSPC165GPB

The Spyderco Autonomy 2 Automatic Knife Blackout Standard Edge is built for demanding environments where reliability, speed, and strength matter most. Designed with input from professional operators and rescue personnel, this American-made automatic blends Spyderco’s signature ergonomics with tough, corrosion-resistant materials and fast, dependable deployment.

The knife features a 3.5-inch leaf-shaped blade crafted from LC200N steel, a high-performance alloy known for exceptional corrosion resistance, toughness, and edge stability. Originally developed for use in extreme marine environments, LC200N performs exceptionally well when exposed to moisture, salt, and harsh conditions. The blade is finished with a black DLC (diamond-like carbon) coating that adds durability while giving the knife its sleek blackout appearance. Spyderco’s iconic round thumb hole is integrated into the blade, offering additional control and familiarity for users accustomed to the brand’s classic design language.

The Autonomy 2 deploys with a push of the recessed button, firing the blade open with decisive automatic action and locking it securely in place. The mechanism is engineered for reliability, delivering consistent performance when quick access is essential. Once open, the blade remains solidly locked for confident cutting power.

The handle is constructed from textured black G-10, providing excellent grip and control even in wet or challenging conditions. The ergonomic shape fits comfortably in the hand while maintaining the rugged, utilitarian feel that defines Spyderco’s hard-use knives. A stainless steel four-position pocket clip allows for versatile carry options, supporting tip-up or tip-down carry on either side. A built-in lanyard hole adds even more flexibility for those who prefer tethered carry or additional security.

Closed, the Autonomy 2 measures 4.94 inches and weighs 5.5 ounces, offering a substantial yet manageable carry profile. Built in the USA, it reflects Spyderco’s commitment to quality manufacturing and serious performance.
