Spyderco Edgerati C266BKALBKP – 3.57" Black DLC CPM S30V Folding Knife
The Spyderco Edgerati C266BKALBKP is a USA-made folding knife that takes the refined Edgerati design all-black: the 3.57" CPM S30V blade is cloaked in a Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) coating, while the pierced, geometric aluminum handle — inspired by the frame of the legendary "birdcage" Maserati — wears a matching hardcoat anodized black finish. The lock bar, pocket clip, and handle hardware are blacked out to match.
The full-flat-ground, straight-spined blade slices efficiently, and a textured index-finger choil adds control for detail work. Spyderco's Compression Lock provides secure lockup with easy one-handed operation, deployed through the Trademark Round Hole. An ambidextrous tip-up pocket clip and a 3.3 oz build make the Spyderco Edgerati C266BKALBKP an easy daily carry.
