The Scorpius was designed under the premise: form
follows function- not looks, which offers explanation for its
distinctive appearance. Spyderco's Eric Glesser blueprinted it as an
urban tactical utility knife. For city carry he felt it had to be
ergonomically refined and sized so it wouldn't generate adverse reaction
or legal issues when taken out and used in public. He also felt the
knife should be uncommonly comfortable in the hand and effectively cut
anything put to it.
This one fits like a glove and cuts like a demon. The wavy contours
covering the handle, position the index and middle fingers in such a way
they eliminate forward or backward slipping. Narrowing to a tail, the
end of the handle makes an effective tool for impact purposes or as a
non-lethal control devise. Pre-tapped screw-holes let you attach the
knife's custom-designed clip, positioning tip-up or tip-down in the
pocket. The blade is a hybrid combination of an upswept and clip-point
profile. Its three inches long, hollow-ground and made of VG-10 steel.
Ground from the top of the blade is a false-edge swedge that removes
unnecessary weight from the folder and gives it a streamlined
appearance. Drilled to 14mm in diameter the Spyderco Round Hole is
suitably sized for opening with large or gloved hands.
Features: 3 in. VG-10 stainless steel blade and a 4.38
in. VG-10 stainless steel handle. Stainless clip for optional tip up or
down carry. Ergonomic tail with lanyard hole for balance and control.
