	"''~~N/A~~''"		"''The Lil’ LionSpy™ traces its history to the original LionSpy™, a heavy-duty folding knife that marked a groundbreaking collaboration between Spyderco and Italy’s LionSteel. It proudly retains all the distinguishing features of its bigger brother, but in a smaller, more pocket-friendly format.''

	The C181 Lil' LionSpy in [https://www.spyderco.com/catalog/details.php?product=~~xxx~~ Spyderco's online catalog]
			''The blade of the Lil’ LionSpy is ground from premium Elmax steel—a third-generation powdered metallurgy steel from Austria’s Böhler-Uddeholm. Known for its high carbon and chromium contents and extra-fine grain structure, Elmax provides extreme edge holding and corrosion resistance. The blade is purposely thick for strength, but features a high flat grind and a pronounced “belly” for superior cutting performance.''


			''The Lil’ LionSpy’s two-piece handle construction consists of a black G-10 scale and a titanium scale that serves as the basis of the knife’s stout Reeve Integral Lock (R.I.L.) mechanism. Both scales are CNC machined with a series of textured grooves to ensure a positive grip and are joined by an open-backed design that reduces weight and simplifies cleaning. A compact pocket clip attached to the titanium scale supports right-side, tip-up orientation for convenient carry and easy access.''
