Spyderco Pits 2 M398 | Slipit Titanium

British knifemaker Mike Read specializes in the production of cutting-edge, non-locking folding knives. His first collaboration with Spyderco, the PITS (short for “Pie in the Sky” - Read's username on UK knife forums), redefined the shape of the genre. The PITS 2 takes this evolution one step further with a truly unique non-locking mechanism consisting of two integrated spring arms incorporated into the handle scales. The front end of these arms, which supports the pivot point of the blade, flexes when the blade is opened to create the pressure for the notched pivot mechanism to push against the stop pin. The handle scales, carefully crafted from solid titanium, are paired with a satin-finished blade made from Böhler-Uddeholm's M398 particle metallurgical stainless steel, which is ground completely flat. The symmetrical design of the PITS 2 is a remarkable expression of Spyderco's SLIPIT concept. With reversible tip-up pocket clip.
