Spyderco Charisma Lockback - 2.98" CTS-BD1N Satin Drop Point Blade - Blue FRN Handles (C249PBL)
Overview & Heritage: Designed by Eric Glesser, the Spyderco Charisma (C259PBL) is an ultra-slim, featherweight everyday carry folder engineered for effortless daily portability and high-efficiency cutting performance. Proudly manufactured at Spyderco's headquarters in Golden, Colorado, USA, Earth, the Charisma sets a new standard for minimalist EDC cutlery. Weighing a mere 0.81 ounces, it offers full-sized cutting capability without adding bulk, making it an ideal choice for knife purists and EDC enthusiasts alike.
Blade & Performance: Featuring a 2.98-inch drop point blade forged from American-made, nitrogen-enriched Carpenter CTS-BD1N stainless steel, the Charisma delivers exceptional edge retention, high toughness, and outstanding natural corrosion resistance. The blade is treated with an elegant satin finish and features a full-flat grind that creates a thin, keen edge for effortless slicing. Spyderco's signature Trademark Round Hole ensures smooth, one-handed ambidextrous opening.
Handle, Lock & Ergonomics: The linerless handle is injection-molded from ultra-durable, lightweight Fiberglass Reinforced Nylon (FRN) in a vibrant blue colorway. Bilateral longitudinal grooves combined with a subtle pebbled texture provide a secure, non-slip grip during use. Blade lockup is handled by a time-tested, high-strength back lock mechanism equipped with a Boye Dent relief cut to prevent accidental lock release during hard work. Complete with a reversible deep-pocket wire clip and lanyard hole, the Charisma carries discreetly tip-up on either side of the body.
*Bench Notes & Field Care Guidance:*
CTS-BD1N is a nitrogen-alloyed stainless steel that offers great corrosion resistance and easy field maintenance with standard abrasives. After daily carry or light cutting tasks, wipe down the blade with a clean microfiber cloth. Keep the back lock channel and pivot clear of pocket lint using compressed air, and apply a drop of light synthetic lubricant as needed. Clean the FRN handle scales with warm water and mild dish soap.
