SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Spyderco Yojimbo 2 Black is a masterclass in tactical design, precision, and power. Created by renowned personal-defense expert Michael Janich, this knife is purpose-built for controlled cutting and self-defense. Its sleek, all-black aesthetic adds an air of authority, while its cutting-edge materials and smart design make it a top-tier performer in any collection or carry rotation.
At the heart of the Yojimbo 2 is its 3.2-inch modified Wharncliffe blade, crafted from high-performance CPM S30V stainless steel. Known for its edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness, this premium steel ensures razor-sharp performance with every cut. The blade’s shape is a true standout, offering a straight cutting edge for maximum slicing power and precision tip control. Finished with a stealthy black DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) coating, the blade gains an extra layer of scratch resistance and a non-reflective, tactical look.
Spyderco’s iconic round thumb hole makes opening the Yojimbo 2 smooth, fast, and ambidextrous. This one-handed deployment is complemented by the reliable compression lock, which provides rock-solid lockup while allowing for safe, easy closure. Whether you’re in a high-pressure situation or just handling everyday tasks, the Yojimbo 2’s mechanism is built for ease and confidence.
The black G-10 handle scales are tough, lightweight, and built to last. The textured surface ensures a secure grip, even in challenging conditions, while the ergonomic shape fits comfortably in your hand. With a closed length of 4.49 inches, it’s compact enough to carry daily, yet substantial enough to deliver serious cutting power. Weighing in at 4.1 ounces, the Yojimbo 2 strikes a balance between durability and portability.
Customizable carry options are a key part of this knife’s appeal. The four-position pocket clip allows for left or right, tip-up or tip-down carry, giving you total control over how you carry it. This flexibility, combined with the lanyard hole, ensures you can keep the Yojimbo 2 exactly where you need it for fast access.
With an overall length of 7.69 inches when open, the Yojimbo 2 offers excellent reach and control. Its .14-inch blade thickness provides the strength you need for serious cutting, and the fine point offers precision for detailed tasks. Whether you’re slicing through rope, opening packages, or relying on it for personal protection, this knife is ready to perform.
