Spyderco Balance SPY27 - Cobalt Blue G-10

Designed by custom knifemaker Ed Schempp, the appropriately named Balance is a study in symmetry. Closed, it is a compact expression of perfect equilibrium. Open, it is an amazingly ergonomic tool that cuts with the authority of a much larger knife. Originally introduced in 2010 and later discontinued, this remarkable design is back as a limited-edition Sprint Run model. Its downturned blade is full-flat ground from Spyderco’s proprietary CPM SPY27 stainless steel and includes a generous index-finger choil to provide exceptional control during use. The satin-finished blade is paired with a unique handle featuring a stainless steel scale on one side and a stainless liner and peel-ply-textured G-10 scale on the other. The stainless scale is precision machined to create a sturdy Reeve Integral Lock (R.I.L.) mechanism, while the G-10 scale is cobalt blue—one of the signature hues of our CPM SPY27 family. Both scales provide mounting holes for a stainless steel pocket clip that is reversible for left or right-side tip-up carry.
