The Spyderco ButtonUp brings a fresh approach to everyday carry with a compact manual design centered around a sturdy button lock. Designed by Eric Glesser, this version combines OD green G-10 scales with a black-finished clip point blade for a rugged, understated look.
The 3.27" blade is made from 8Cr13MoV stainless steel and features a full-flat grind that provides a practical cutting geometry for everyday tasks. Its modified clip point profile gives the knife a versatile working edge, while the black oxide finish adds a subdued appearance that complements the OD green handle.
Spyderco's signature Round Hole opener provides smooth, intuitive one-handed deployment, assisted by ball-bearing pivot washers for consistent action. The high-strength button lock secures the blade during use while adding a satisfying, easy-to-operate mechanism.
Nested steel microliners reinforce the open-backed handle without adding unnecessary bulk. A reversible hourglass-style pocket clip allows convenient tip-up carry on either side, making the ButtonUp suitable for both right- and left-handed users. At 7.5" overall and only 2.1 ounces, it's an exceptionally lightweight option for everyday carry.
The ButtonUp's combination of durable G-10, practical blade geometry, smooth manual action, and compact construction makes it a capable folder for daily cutting chores, work, and general utility.
