If you want a knife that combines style with functionality, look no further than the Spyderco Vallotton Sub-Hilt Folder. This masterpiece is the result of a stunning collaboration between Spyderco and knifemaker Butch Vallotton.
Crafted from premium CPM S30V steel, this knife is tough and resistant to corrosion. Its modified blade offers a hollow grind at the cutting edge and a convex grind at the tip, making it an excellent choice for a variety of tasks. The blade is 3.75 inches long, giving you plenty of cutting power.
The Round Hole is iconic with Spyderco knives, and this knife is no exception. You can easily open it with one hand. But what sets this knife apart are the ambidextrous thumb studs that double as blade stops. They are the brainchild of knifemaker Butch Vallotton, who has been using thumb studs in innovative ways for years.
The Vallotton Sub-Hilt Folder's modified coffin-shaped handle is not only comfortable to hold for long periods, but it also looks great. The handle is made from black G-10, and there are fitted stainless bolsters that add elegance to the knife. It's inspired by Italian-style folders, giving the knife a touch of international style.
You need a versatile knife that's easy to carry with you, and Spyderco has got you covered. The knife comes with a four-position pocket clip and a lanyard hole, making it easy to keep with you. The knife is 8.69 inches long when open, and it weighs 6.2 ounces - the perfect size for daily use.

Quick! List the most respected and innovative knife companies you can think of. If you know anything about knives, Spyderco is somewhere near the top. Spyderco Inc. makes some of the most unique and downright bizarre knife designs you'll see on the market, but from the number of passionate fans discussing, debating, and learning everything they can about Spyderco knives, it's clear that the company has done something right.
From the Glesser Family and the Spyderco Crew:
Since starting Spyderco we've been told our knives are different, peculiar, even out there. All true. Thinking beyond established knife industry barriers allowed us to introduce new and radical innovations to the knife culture including: One-hand opening, serrations on a folder and a clip to attach a knife to a pocket.
We didn't go into business to rake in a mountain of dough we're here for more selfish reasons- indulging our passion for creating knives. Spyderco is definitely out of the norm in the knife industry in our dedication to researching and developing fresh, improved and better performing materials all with function and reliability being key.
Someone once said to Sal Glesser, Spyderco's owner, 'You must design in the dark because your knives look so strange.' True again. Our recognizable appearance is a result of designing ergonomic functional tools rather than applying lipstick and nylons to a pocketknife. We may look curious, homely, whatever, but we'll never be called unusable or undependable.
Making knives that consistently deliver reliable high-performance requires an ongoing commitment to testing. In our million-dollar testing facility we examine edge retention with a CATRA machine, look for rust development with Q-FOG, check the force needed to open and close a knife. We also repeatedly test for stress, wear, optimal heat-treating and actively search for higher quality, performance enhancing steels and materials.
As a customer you probably don't think about this, or much care, but it allows us to put forth a promise. When you purchase a Spyderco you are buying a high-quality reliable cutting tool designed and manufactured for peak performance and ergonomic comfort. Those Who Know Carry Spyderco.
