History, mentionings from the forums etc.

In [this video] from February 6 2024, designer Michael Janich gives an insight in the history of the Tactical Wharncliffe knife, including detailed background information on the design of the MicroJimbo.

Information from the Spyderco catalog on the web

C264 MicroJimbo:

"The MicroJimbo™ distills all the key features of Michael Janich’s acclaimed Yojimbo™ 2 design into a smaller, more legally compliant package. At the same time, its critical dimensional relationships, including the “cockpit” in the center of the knife, are identical to its bigger brother. The result is an ultra-compact folder that deploys and handles like its full-sized counterpart. The MicroJimbo’s CPM® S30V® Wharncliffe blade measures 2.45 inches (62mm) to comply with strict blade-length laws and features a full-flat grind for enhanced tip strength. It is supported by a high-strength Compression Lock® mechanism and stainless steel liners nested within peel-ply-textured G-10 scales. To balance discreet carry and instant accessibility, it includes a deep-pocket wire clip reversible for left or right-side tip-up carry."[1]
