Spyderco C148SBL Ambitious Lightweight Blue CPM S35VN

Following in the footsteps of its bigger brothers the Tenacious, Resilience, and Persistence, this elite expression of the Ambitious Lightweight supercharges its performance with Crucible CPM S35VN blade steel. The finely tuned chemistry of this American-made particle metallurgy steel promotes the formation of niobium carbides along with vanadium and chromium carbides, enhancing its toughness without sacrificing wear resistance. The full-flat-ground blade of this knife takes full advantage of these properties. The satin-finished blade is housed in a handle featuring bright blue fiberglass-reinforced-nylon (FRN) scales, non-slip Bi-Directional Texturing, skeletonized full stainless steel liners, a stout LinerLock mechanism, and a versatile four-position pocket clip that provides a choice of left or right-side, tip-up or tip-down carry. The smallest member of Spyderco’s popular Value Folder series, the Ambitious is an ultra-compact cutting tool that cuts with big-knife authority. In its lightweight configuration, it trades the G-10 scales of the original for injection-molded fiberglass-reinforced nylon (FRN) with a high-traction Bi-Directional Texture™ pattern. Available in PlainEdge or fully serrated SpyderEdge, both configurations feature a sturdy LinerLock mechanism to lock the blade securely open during use.
