Spyderco SpyOpera Brown Micarta
Item #: SPC255CMP
$196.95
The inspiration for the Spyderco SpyOpera began with a knife called the “Opera" which was produced by the Italian company lionSTEEL®. Designed by acclaimed Italian custom knifemaker Massimo Salice Sanna – more popularly known as “MAX", it was first introduced in 2006 and quickly became one of lionSTEEL's bestselling models. The exceptional fusion of style and functionality also caught the eye of Spyderco's founders and sparked interest in the design. Through close collaboration with lionSTEEL the SpyOpera was born.
Its full-flat-ground blade is crafted from M390 particle metallurgy stainless steel and supported by a sturdy back lock mechanism. The blade is housed in a handle made with skeletonized full titanium liners, beautifully contoured brown canvas Micarta® scales, and a stainless steel backspacer. The spines of the blade, lock bar, and backspacer are all meticulously crowned, and a deep-pocket wire clip provides rightside, tip-up carry.
The blade measures 2-7/8" with a closed length of 4". Weighs only 2.7 oz. Suggested Retail $262.50.

Spyderco
In 1981, Spyderco ventured into the world of knife making by introducing their first folding knife, the C01 Worker. This knife was the first in the industry to feature a round hole in the blade design that allowed for fast, one-hand opening, now the company’s trademark, and the first to feature a pocket clip. The trademarked round hole is the most recognizable feature of a Spyderco knife and it facilitates the easy opening and closing of these knives with one hand while also offering convenient access and maximum control while opening as well as accommodating large, small or gloved hands.
Spyderco’s recognizable appearance is a result of designing ergonomically functional tools rather than applying lipstick and nylons to a pocketknife. Spyderco’s knives may look unusual, but they will never be called unusable or undependable. When you purchase a Spyderco knife, you are buying a high quality reliable cutting tool that was designed and manufactured for peak performance and ergonomic comfort.
