The Spyderco Slym Folding Knife brings an unmistakable combination of precision engineering, premium materials, and stealthy styling to a streamlined everyday-carry design. Produced by lionSTEEL exclusively for Spyderco, the Slym is Spyderco’s take on Michele Pensato’s popular Skinny folding knife, enhanced with the signature Spyderco Trademark Round Hole and upgraded materials throughout. This version takes the design a step further with a black WCC tungsten carbide carbon PVD coating covering the blade and titanium handle for a subdued, hard-wearing finish.
The 3.42-inch drop-point blade is crafted from Böhler-Uddeholm M390 particle metallurgy stainless steel and features a full-flat grind for efficient cutting performance. Its PlainEdge cutting edge offers a versatile profile for everyday tasks, while the satin-finished blade includes both Spyderco’s fully accessible Round Hole and a removable flipper tab. Ball-bearing washers provide exceptionally smooth action, giving you multiple options for swift, ambidextrous, one-handed deployment. Whether you prefer the Round Hole or flipper, the Slym is designed for fast, controlled access.
The handle is machined from a single piece of titanium using lionSTEEL’s SOLID technology, creating a strong, precisely crafted frame with a clean, integrated construction. A striking black-and-white Dark Matter Polar FatCarbon carbon fiber inlay adds contrast to the black titanium and gives the knife a distinctive premium appearance. On the reverse side, a sturdy Reeve Integral Lock (R.I.L.) mechanism provides secure blade lockup. A hardened-steel interface creates a durable steel-to-steel contact point and also functions as an overtravel stop for the lock bar, helping support long-term reliability.
For convenient everyday carry, the Slym features a generously sized lanyard hole and a deep-pocket clip mounted at the butt of the handle. The reversible clip allows left- or right-side, tip-up carry, making the knife adaptable to different users and carry preferences. At just 3.4 ounces and 7.84 inches overall, it delivers premium cutting capability without unnecessary bulk.
With its M390 blade, titanium SOLID construction, Dark Matter Polar carbon fiber inlay, and stealthy black finish, the Spyderco Slym is a refined folder built for users who appreciate serious materials and precision design in a slim, highly capable package.
