The Spyderco C12SBK2W, also known as the Matriarch 2, expertly combines the potent VG-10 stainless steel Reverse S blade with the featherweight handle of Spyderco\'s top-selling Endura 4. The innovative Emerson Opening feature, patented by Ernest Emerson, revolutionizes the design by incorporating a hook on the back of the blade. This hook enables automatic opening of the knife when it is pulled from the pocket.This pocket knife has been upgraded further by adding a concealed, black titanium carbonitride (TiCN) coating to the blade and the metal hardware. This upgrade diminishes reflection, perfect for high-risk situations where light management is crucial.
