Product Description
The Spyderco Techno 3 C158TIP3 is a compact premium folding knife that combines a robust CTS-XHP stainless steel blade with a precision-machined titanium handle. Made in Italy by LionSteel, the Techno 3 delivers the fit, finish, and solid construction expected from a premium European-made folder.
The 2.55-inch CTS-XHP blade features a broad drop-point profile and full-flat grind, providing a versatile cutting edge in a compact package. CTS-XHP offers an excellent balance of edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance.
The titanium handle gives the Techno 3 a substantial, premium feel while maintaining its compact dimensions. A Reeve Integral Lock (RIL) provides secure blade lockup, while Spyderco's trademark Round Hole allows smooth one-handed opening.
A reversible pocket clip provides convenient tip-up carry, making the Techno 3 an excellent choice for premium everyday carry or collection.

Knife Depot Take
Our Take: The Techno 3 is a small knife with a decidedly premium feel. The combination of CTS-XHP steel, a precision-machined titanium handle, RIL lock, and Italian manufacturing makes this much more than an ordinary compact EDC. It's an especially attractive choice for Spyderco enthusiasts who appreciate high-end materials and European craftsmanship in a smaller package.

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.
