Product Description
The Spyderco Mantra 4 C274GBBKP is a sleek folding knife that combines a minimalist design with smooth, refined operation. The fourth-generation Mantra features an innovative front-flipper opener that allows the blade to be deployed with a quick movement of the index finger, while the distinctive Spyderco Round Hole provides an additional opening option.
The 3.34-inch drop point blade is made from 8Cr13MoV stainless steel and features a full-flat grind for efficient cutting performance. The plain-edge blade has a black oxide finish that complements the knife's black G-10 handle and gives the Mantra 4 a clean, understated appearance.
The textured black G-10 handle provides a secure grip while keeping the knife lightweight and easy to carry. A liner lock securely holds the blade open during use, while ball-bearing washers contribute to the knife's smooth opening action.
Refined Front-Flipper Opening
The Mantra 4 features a distinctive front-flipper mechanism integrated into the blade. When the knife is closed, a small portion of the blade tang extends above the handle spine, providing a textured surface that can be pushed with the index finger to deploy the blade.
The blade also features Spyderco's Trademark Round Hole, giving users another familiar opening method.
Full-Flat-Ground Drop Point Blade
The 3.34-inch 8Cr13MoV stainless steel blade features a full-flat grind and plain edge. The drop point profile provides a versatile blade shape for everyday cutting tasks, while the black oxide finish gives the knife a distinctive all-black appearance.
Black G-10 Handle
The black G-10 handle provides a durable, textured grip and complements the knife's minimalist design. The liner lock securely locks the blade in the open position, while ball-bearing washers help provide smooth blade movement.

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.
