View source for C268 SpyNano

The '''C268 SpyNano''' is inspired by the Myto design from the Italian knife company LionSTEEL. It is Spyderco's fourth [[Flash Batch]] design, which is similar to a [[Sprintrun]], but instead of utilizing a pre-existing model, uses a never before produced model that will not be produced in that exact configuration again.

'''C268 SpyNano'''

"''Inspired by the lionSTEEL® Nano™ the SpyNano delivers high performance with exceptional style. Its satin-finished drop-point blade is crafted from Böhler-Uddeholm’s M398 powder metallurgy stainless steel, which has an exceptionally high carbide volume and is capable of achieving extremely high hardness and edge retention. The hollow-ground blade rides on ball bearing pivot washers and includes both our signature Trademark Round Hole and a removable flipper opener for swift one-handed opening. The knife’s unique handle showcases solid titanium on one side and linerless green canvas Micarta on the other. The titanium scale is precision machined to create the knife’s stout Reeve Integral Lock (R.I.L.) mechanism and includes a hardened steel interface/overtravel stop. A reversible deep-pocket clip mounts to the butt end of the handle to provide a choice of left or right-side tip-up carry. This remarkable knife is being released as a Flash Batch—a distinctive, one-of-a-kind expression of a model that has not been previously produced. Every knife will be individually serialized with discreetly placed laser engraving.''"<ref name="current catalog">The C268 SpyNano in [https://www.spyderco.com/catalog/details/C268MTI/SPYNANO-trade-FLASH-BATCH-trade-/2597 Spyderco's online catalog]</ref>
