SPYDERCO
Lil’ Native G-10 SLIPIT Knife
Spyderco’s remarkable SLIPIT family of knives combines the advantages of clip-carry and easy one-handed opening with the broad legal acceptance of the non-locking folder. One of the newest members of this unique breed is the Lil’ Native SLIPIT, which replaces the Compression Lock and back lock of the original model with Spyderco’s “notched-joint” mechanism. An enhanced version of a traditional slipjoint, this mechanism uses spring pressure to hold the knife’s full-flat-ground CPM S30V blade open but does not lock it. Peel-ply-textured G-10 scales ensure a non-slip grip, and a broad-based, four-position clip offers ambidextrous tip-up or tip-down carry.
