The Spyderco Autonomy 2 C165GPBBK2 is a premium automatic knife with roots in one of Spyderco's most purpose-driven designs. The original Autonomy was developed in response to the demanding requirements of U.S. Coast Guard rescue swimmers, who needed a dependable knife capable of one-handed operation and reliable performance in a saltwater environment.
The Autonomy 2 builds on that heritage with a more versatile design while retaining the rugged, professional character of the original. This Black Blade version features a plain-edge LC200N blade with a non-reflective black DLC coating. LC200N is exceptionally corrosion resistant, making it particularly well suited to demanding environments where moisture and corrosion resistance matter.
The black G-10 handle provides a secure grip and durable construction, while the automatic opening mechanism allows rapid one-handed deployment. A prominent firing button and button lock provide straightforward operation, and the secondary safety helps prevent unintended activation.
The C165GPBBK2 includes a stainless steel wire pocket clip configured for right-hand, tip-up carry. Like the other Autonomy 2 models, it is made in the USA.

Coast Guard Heritage
The Autonomy family has a unique history within the Spyderco lineup. The original Autonomy was developed specifically around the demanding mission requirements of U.S. Coast Guard rescue swimmers. Its design addressed the need for a knife that could be operated quickly while wearing gloves and withstand the corrosive saltwater environment encountered during maritime rescue operations.
The Autonomy 2 C165GPBBK2 is the later-generation evolution of that design, bringing the original concept into a more versatile configuration while retaining the family’s professional rescue-tool heritage.
Knife-Depot Take
The Autonomy 2 is more than just another Spyderco automatic. Its connection to the U.S. Coast Guard rescue-swimmer program gives the design a legitimate working history that few folding knives can claim. The C165GPBBK2 adds premium LC200N corrosion-resistant steel, a black DLC finish, G-10 construction, and a clean plain edge to that proven lineage.
For Spyderco collectors, first responders, and customers who appreciate the story behind a knife as much as its materials, the Autonomy 2 has a particularly compelling pedigree.

About brand
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.
