Spyderco Edgerati Compression Lock Tactical Folder - 3.57" CPM-S30V Black DLC Plain Edge Blade - Black Skeletonized Aluminum Handle (C266BKALBKP)
Product Description
Deploying a hard-use everyday carry folder into high-demand tactical, field, or industrial environments often forces a frustrating compromise: full-sized blades with 3.5-inch cutting profiles can feel excessively heavy in pockets, while lightweight skeletonized folders often lack structural frame rigidity or robust lock strength. The Spyderco C266BKALBKP Edgerati masterfully resolves this balance. Combining advanced aerospace-grade aluminum machining with Spyderco's high-strength Compression Lock® system, this stealthy blackout folder offers an expansive cutting edge in a featherlight, highly aggressive chassis.
Manufactured to exacting standards in Golden, Colorado, USA ("Earth"), the technical core of the Edgerati centers on a 3.57-inch leaf-shaped drop point blade precision forged from ultra-premium American CPM-S30V powder metallurgy stainless steel. Designed specifically for high-end cutlery, CPM-S30V features a rich distribution of vanadium carbides, delivering exceptional edge longevity, high micro-grain toughness, and superior resistance to chipping. The blade is fully cloaked in a non-reflective, highly durable Black DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) coating that drastically reduces slicing drag while shielding raw steel from environmental corrosion. Deployment is instantaneous and ambidextrous via the trademark 14mm Round Hole™.
Functionally, the Edgerati provides an exceptionally secure purchase driven by its intricately CNC-machined 6061-T6 aluminum handle scales. Styled with a striking web-like skeletonized geometry, the handle eliminates unnecessary mass while maintaining rigid structural integrity against lateral torque. The black anodized chassis houses Spyderco's patented Compression Lock® mechanism on the spine, providing immense lockup strength without placing user fingers in the path of the closing blade. Outfitted with a black wire pocket clip configurable for tip-up left or right-hand transport, the Spyderco Edgerati stands out as a high-performance blackout masterpiece.
*Bench Notes & Skeletonized Frame Maintenance:*
The Spyderco Edgerati is engineered for lightweight, hard-use performance, pairing a CPM-S30V DLC blade with an open-work skeletonized aluminum handle. Because the webbed frame design features open geometric cutouts, pocket lint, dust, or field debris can easily pass through the chassis. Periodically clear the interior handle tracks and Compression Lock® interface using compressed air. Avoid packing the pivot washers or lock compression stop pin with heavy grease; apply a single drop of high-speed dry lubricant directly to the pivot washers to sustain smooth, frictionless manual deployment.
