Product Description
The Spyderco Slym C271TIP is a sleek, premium folding knife produced by lionSTEEL exclusively for Spyderco. Designed by Michele Pensato, the Slym builds on the popular LionSteel Skinny with Spyderco's trademark Round Hole and a refined, ultra-slim profile.
The 3.42-inch M390 blade features a full-flat grind, drop-point profile, and stonewashed finish. A removable flipper tab and ball-bearing washers provide smooth, fast deployment, while the Spyderco Round Hole offers an alternative opening method.
The handle is machined from a single piece of titanium using lionSTEEL's SOLID technology, creating a true integral frame. The gray PVD-finished titanium handle incorporates a Dark Matter Polar Fat Carbon Fiber inlay and a Reeve Integral Lock (R.I.L.) with a hardened steel interface.

Knife Depot Take
Our Take: The Slym is one of those Spyderco collaborations that really stands apart. The one-piece integral titanium handle, M390 blade, Italian production, and Fat Carbon Fiber inlay put this well beyond the typical production folder.
It's also remarkably slim for a full-size knife. The removable flipper is a particularly nice touch—you can enjoy the smooth flipper action or remove the tab and take advantage of the clean profile and Spyderco Round Hole.

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.
