The brainchild of Spyderco co-founder Sal Glesser, the Edgerati™ translates his deep interest in high-performance sports cars into a remarkable knife design. Its pierced, geometric handle was inspired by the frame of the legendary “birdcage” Maserati, which revolutionized sports car design. True to that spirit, the Edgerati’s handle scales are painstakingly machined from solid aircraft-grade aluminum and hardcoat anodized to create an exceptional blend of strength, light weight, non-slip texture, and dramatic style. They also provide a view of the knife’s streamlined Compression Lock® mechanism, which consists of a stainless steel lock bar nested into a machined pocket in the obverse-side scale. The knife’s straight-spined, full-flat-ground blade is crafted from CPM® S30V® particle metallurgy stainless steel and features a textured index-finger choil that allows a forward-positioned grip for enhanced control. Its broad-based pocket clip is reversible for left or right-side tip-up carry and complements the blade’s fully accessible Trademark Round Hole™ to allow swift, positive deployment with either hand. The Edgerati is available with a satin-finished blade and brightly finished hardware and in an all-black configuration featuring a Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) blade coating, black anodized scales, and a matching black-coated lock bar, clip, and hardware. Both finish options offer a choice of either a PlainEdge™ or fully serrated SpyderEdge™ blade.
