Spyderco Pits 2 Slipit Folding Knife Reviews

5 Rating 1 Reviews
Read Heinnie Haynes Reviews

British knifemaker Mike Read specialises in crafting state-of-the-art non-locking folding knives. His first Spyderco collaboration, the PITS (short for “Pie in the Sky”—Read’s forum name on British knife forums), redefined the form of this genre. The PITS 2 takes that evolution a step further with a truly unique non-locking mechanism that consists of two integral spring arms machined into the handle scales. The forward end of these arms, which supports the blade pivot, flexes as the blade is opened to provide pressure for its notched-joint mechanism to bear against the stop pin.
Meticulously machined from solid 6AL-4V titanium, the matte-finished handle scales are paired with a full-flat-ground, satin-finished blade crafted from Böhler-Uddeholm’s M390 particle metallurgy stainless steel. A remarkable expression of Spyderco’s SLIPIT concept, the PITS 2’s symmetrical design is complemented by a fully accessible Trademark Round Hole in the blade and a reversible tip-up pocket clip to make every aspect of its carry and operation completely ambidextrous.

A beautiful knife with a unique mechanism. You can get a similarly performing knife for cheaper, but much of the cost goes towards the beauty of the interesting action. Well-made, very smooth action with a lot of drag. Feels very safe to use. Thin slicey geometry. Good solid ambidextrous pocket clip. Only criticism, the top of the knife could be more rounded. It isn't cutting sharp, but enough I will rub an itch with it. But overall my new favourite knife.
