Building on the original Roadie’s roots as a modernized pen knife designed to be TSA-compliant, Spyderco introduces the Roadie XL—a refined upgrade that boasts improved functionality, innovation, and practicality, while keeping the original’s slip joint functionality and design DNA. While it keeps the brand’s signature features—like the smooth, ambidextrous thumb hole opener—the Roadie XL introduces an upgraded flat-ground, satin-finished 2.74″ sheepsfoot blade crafted from premium Böhler M390 steel, offering superb edge retention and cutting power.
It also sports a notched slip joint lock that ensures secure lockup and straightforward operation, perfect for everyday carry. The resilient and lightweight black FRN handle sports a double detent for easy pinch grip opening with jimping along the thumb ramp and finger choil for ergonomic handling, with a reversible tip-up pocket clip—another welcome upgrade from the original—making it a pleasure to use and carry ambidextrously. Spyderco has once again delivered a knife that we can rely on for everyday tasks, and if you’re looking for a compact everyday knife with enormous utility for less permissible environments, you might want to get your hands on the Roadie XL.
