C195CFTIP Positron
Designed by custom knifemaker Brad Southard, the Spyderco Positron takes
all the best features of a full-service flipper folder and distills
them into a compact, pocket-friendly format optimized for everyday
carry. A faithful expression of Southard’s “Ion” folder, the Positron
features a full-flat-ground PlainEdge™ blade crafted from premium CPM®
S30V® particle-metallurgy stainless steel. Integral to the edge side of
the blade, its minimalist flipper tab provides swift, reliable
one-handed opening with the stroke of an index finger. In the open
position, the flipper also serves as an extremely effective hand guard
and a perfect complement to the handle’s ergonomic lines.
The handle’s twin scales are crafted from solid carbon fiber that is
precisely machined, radiused, and polished to create an amazingly
comfortable grip. They also house the nested, skeletonized stainless
steel liners that are the heart of the knife’s sturdy LinerLock
mechanism. To ensure an ultra-smooth opening action, the Positron’s
blade and handle are joined by special ball bearing washers that greatly
reduce friction and ensure a long service life. A reversible
deep-pocket wire clip offers either left or right-side tip-up carry and
strikes an excellent balance between subtle discretion and immediate
access.
