A.T.R., Black Blade/ Handle, Plain, Pocket Clip

Always ready. Spyderco’s stainless steel A.T.R (At The Ready) comes well-heeled with high-tech tactical features and is fully coated in non-reflective black Carbon Nitride. Drilled out of the stainless handle and clip are a series of holes. The holes lessen the folder’s weight and make position spots for the thumb and fingers to index the knife into different grip-holds. The integral Compression Lock, locks open the blade by using part of the handle scale using fewer moving and wearable parts. Tip to tang the VG-10 blade is 3- 7/16 inches (87mm) with a snub-nose that cants upward becoming thicker at the tip for extreme and strenuous use. The hollow-ground blade has an additional dagger-grind down its center effectively balancing both sides while simultaneously enhancing tip strength. Unlike a traditionally ground dagger, the spine is non-sharpened. Positioned above the Spyderco Round Hole, a Cobra HoodTM juts a flange of steel out, over either side of the blade, guiding the thumb into position over the hole for rapid, by-feel, deployment. While you cut, the Cobra Hood creates a textured seat where your thumb finds slip-resistant purchase. Pre-drilled clip holes create the option of left or right-handed use and position the folder tip-up in the pocket. Overall length is 8- 7/16 inches (213mm), overall weight is 4- 3/4 ounces (135 g).
