B02G2 SmallFly 2
The original SmallFly was a uniquely different "spin" on the balisong, or Filipino butterfly knife. Now this remarkable design is back with an all-new full-flat-ground, drop-point blade profile crafted from CPM S30V. Like the original, it features skeletonized twin handles with full stainless steel liners and peel-ply-textured scales. The Round Holes at the butt end of both handles reflect Spyderco's iconic trademark and help achieve optimal balance for high-speed manipulation. A spring-loaded latch attached to the "free" handle secures the handles together in the closed position, while the removable wire pocket clip may be attached to either side of both handles as both a carry option and tactile index.
