The Spyderco ButtonUp Plain Black is a masterfully engineered folding knife that combines modern sophistication with everyday practicality. Designed for enthusiasts and collectors who appreciate precision, performance, and style, this knife takes Spyderco’s renowned ButtonUp design and elevates it with a sleek black finish, durable materials, and ergonomic construction. From its tactical black blade to its carbon fiber and G-10 handle, the ButtonUp Plain Black is a knife that performs as impressively as it looks.
At the heart of this knife is a 3.27-inch plain-edge clip point blade crafted from 8Cr13Mov stainless steel. Known for its reliable edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance, this steel is perfectly suited for a wide range of cutting tasks. The black finish adds both durability and a tactical aesthetic, protecting the blade from wear while giving it a bold, modern look. The clip point design provides a versatile cutting edge, ideal for slicing, piercing, and everyday tasks with clean, controlled precision. Whether you’re opening packages, cutting rope, or tackling light fieldwork, the ButtonUp Plain Black delivers smooth, reliable performance.
Spyderco’s signature round thumb hole allows for effortless one-handed deployment, offering smooth, intuitive access for both left- and right-handed users. The button lock mechanism ensures the blade stays securely in place during use while allowing for controlled, safe closing. Every aspect of the lock and pivot is finely tuned to provide a crisp, consistent action that feels solid and reliable, reflecting Spyderco’s commitment to precision engineering and user-focused design.
The handle of the ButtonUp Plain Black combines black carbon fiber and laminate G-10, providing a lightweight yet incredibly strong grip surface. The carbon fiber adds a modern, refined look, while the G-10 reinforces durability and traction, ensuring the knife feels secure in the hand even under challenging conditions. Ergonomically contoured, the handle fits naturally in your palm, offering comfort and control for extended use without sacrificing style or elegance.
An ambidextrous tip-up pocket clip allows for versatile carry and quick access, while the integrated lanyard hole adds customization options for retention or personal preference. Every feature of the ButtonUp Plain Black is designed for practicality and precision, from the smooth opening to the balanced handle and secure locking mechanism.
