Spyderco Meerkat Lightweight Phantom Lock Knife Blue FRN (2", Satin, SPY27) C64PCBL

The Meerkat is one of the most novel Spyderco designs ever produced. Its defining feature is its unique—and sometimes puzzling—Phantom Lock™ mechanism. Similar to a classic “scale-release” back lock, it is operated by rotating the butt ends of the handle halves in opposite directions to close the blade. This limited-edition resurrection of the Meerkat design not only makes it available to a new generation of knife fans, but also elevates it with a blade crafted from CPM SPY27. Exclusive to Spyderco, CPM SPY27 is a cobalt-enriched particle metallurgy stainless steel that offers an excellent balance of edge holding, toughness, and corrosion resistance. The full-flat-ground PlainEdge blade of this knife capitalizes on all these qualities to deliver cutting performance far beyond its compact size. It is paired with a handle featuring full stainless steel liners, cobalt blue fiberglass-reinforced-nylon (FRN) handle scales, and a deep-pocket wire clip that is reversible for left or right-side tip-down carry.
