Spyderco Yojimbo 2 | CPM SPY27 | Blue G10

Designed by Michael Janich, a renowned self-defense expert, the Yojimbo 2 has made the concept of the “tactical Wharncliffe” respectable. Featuring CPM SPY27 elite steel, only available on select Spyderco knives, the blade has an advanced alloy formula that includes vanadium, molybdenum, niobium and nitrogen. These alloys are enhanced by the strengthening effects of the steel's signature element, cobalt, and the state-of-the-art crucible particle metallurgy process to create a blade steel that offers an impressive synergy of edge retention, toughness and corrosion resistance. These properties support the sharp geometry of the Yojimbo 2's hollow-ground Wharncliffe blade, which is housed in a handle with skeletonized stainless steel liners embedded in demountable, textured G10 scales. The liners form the backbone of the knife's high-strength compression lock mechanism and anchor the four-way reversible pocket clip, Like most other members of Spyderco's elite CPM SPY27 knife family, the handle scales of this Yojimbo 2 are finished in the signature cobalt blue color
