Trending on our charts is a sleek Spyderco slipjoint, the Roadie. Don’t let its size fool you—with a closed length of 3″ and a blade just a hair over 2″, it still manages to handle plenty of EDC cutting tasks. The blade features Bohler N690 steel in a useful sheepsfoot shape, making it useful for slicing and scoring alike. Since it’s a slipjoint, it opens with a smaller “thumbhole” type nick in a satisfying snap.
Some jimping and a finger choil help add grip to the Roadie’s ergonomic reinforced fiberglass handle. Its combination of light weight, small size, and non-locking mechanism make it a blade you can carry in most locales, especially in bigger cities and in the UK, for example. For minimalists looking for a great barely-there EDC blade they can carry almost anywhere, check out the Roadie at the link below.
