Product Description
The Spyderco NAND C270TIP is a uniquely engineered folding knife designed by Paul Alexander, combining an ultra-lightweight titanium construction with Spyderco's innovative SLIPIT non-locking mechanism. Weighing just 1.8 ounces, the NAND delivers a full-size cutting profile in an exceptionally slim and lightweight package.
Its 3.19-inch M398 stainless steel Wharncliffe blade features a full-flat grind and PlainEdge. M398 is a high-performance stainless steel known for exceptional wear resistance and edge retention. The blade also incorporates Spyderco's Trademark Round Hole for traditional one-handed opening.
Unlike a conventional locking folder, the NAND uses Spyderco's SLIPIT Ball Joint Non-Locking Mechanism. Twin ball-bearing detents engage the blade when open and closed, while hand pressure on the blade's extended tail and the generous finger choil help provide a secure grip during use.
The handle is precision machined from solid titanium, giving the NAND an excellent strength-to-weight ratio. A reversible deep-pocket wire clip provides discreet left- or right-side tip-up carry, making the design completely ambidextrous.

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.
