CTS BD1N Lockback with Fiberglass-Reinforced Nylon Handle
The Spyderco Charisma is an ultra-lightweight, slim folding knife designed for everyday carry. Weighing just 0.8oz, it's one of the lightest lockbacks available, making it ideal for those who want a discreet, easy-to-carry cutting tool without bulk. The Charisma was designed by Eric Glesser and features Spyderco's signature back lock mechanism with a Boye Dent to prevent unintentional closure.
Blade
The 2.98" blade uses CTS BD1N stainless steel with a full-flat grind. BD1N is a high-performance stainless steel known for excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness. The flat grind creates a wide bevel for efficient cutting. The blade is supported by a back lock mechanism, which is simple to operate and provides secure blade lockup.
Handle
The handle is made of fiberglass-reinforced nylon (FRN), a durable, lightweight material often used in high-stress applications. The FRN is textured with bilateral longitudinal grooves and a pebbled finish for a secure grip. The linerless construction keeps weight to a minimum. A lanyard hole is included for added carry options.
Carry
The Charisma includes a reversible deep-pocket wire clip, allowing right or left-hand tip-up carry. The clip is designed to be discreet while ensuring quick access. The knife's slim profile and lightweight design make it easy to carry in a pocket or on a lanyard.
