While compact pocket knives are perfect for EDCing in your pocket, the tradeoff for their smaller size becomes clear when you’re up against heavy duty tasks. That’s not the case with the new Spyderco Techno 2, a stout workhorse knife with a rock-solid design made in collaboration with Polish custom knifemaker Marcin Slysz. The newest iteration of the Techno pairs premium materials with a more sturdy blade, resulting in a “little big knife” that’s ready to take on cutting tasks both large and small.
The Techno 2 comes with a sheepsfoot blade, giving it a beefy profile that’s perfect for repetitive utility tasks and hard use. The new blade shape makes better use of its compact 2.55” length compared to the original drop-point blade that featured in the older design. While the shape has changed, the blade itself still made out of a premium no-compromise CTS-XHP stainless steel ground with a high saber edge that makes cutting and slicing with the Techno 2 a breeze. Opening the blade is easy as well with Spyderco’s signature thumbhole, allowing quick, ambidextrous one-handed openings even if you’re wearing gloves.
When it’s time to get to work, you’ll appreciate the exotic makeup of the blade giving the Techno 2 the durability and edge retention that lets it compete with knives that are much larger in size. For added strength, the titanium handle contains a frame lock that keeps the blade in place with minimal movement during even the toughest of work. Once you’re done, you can close the blade up and let it disappear into either of your front pockets with its reversible tip-up deep carry pocket clip. And at just 3.4 ounces in weight, it definitely won’t weigh you down as you go through your day.
With the Techno 2, you get a dependable compact EDC knife with a premium design that sacrifices nothing to get you the performance you’ve come to expect in your daily carry. Check it out and pick one up for yourself at the link below.
