The Spyderco Szabo folder features a 5.85-inch CPM S30V scimitar-shaped blade. Its partial hollow grind creates excellent edge geometry while reinforcing the spine for increased strength. The Szabo sports a handle built of full stainless steel liners capped by Gold Line carbon fiber scales for a visually stunning and durable handle that gives a secure, non slip grip. To cope with the extreme leverages associated with its longer blade, the Laci Sazabo folder features an enhanced version of Spydercos proprietary Compression Lock mechanismone of the strongest folding knife locks ever designed. When the knife is opened, a split leaf spring integral in one of the handles stainless steel liners extends between the stop pin and an upward-facing ramp on the blades tang. The wedging force of this spring locks the blade securely and its placement on the back of the handle makes it virtually impossible to disengage during use. The Szabo folders Compression Lock is also unique because it is accompanied by an internal self-close mechanism. Nested within one of the handle halves, this mechanism uses a spring piston to engage a plate attached to the blade tang. When the blade is closed, the piston gains mechanical leverage to rotate the plate, keeping the blade nestled securely in the handle for safe carriage. Convenient carry is further supported by a four-position clip that offers tip-up or tip-down carry on either side of the body. The Laci Szabo folder is a technologically and artistically advanced folding knife from the mind of one of the knife industrys most creative designers. We sincerely hope that yours serves you and your personal needs well.
