Laws. Whether necessary, good, or just nutty, they're intended to establish order and ward-off chaos. When our government and society implement rules, we do our best to live within their parameters.
As an example, many US metropolitan cities draw the line for carrying pocket knives in public to knives with blades two-inches in length or under. Welcome to Chicago! If I were a Chicagoan and carried a pocketknife regularly, I might be inclined (as a law abiding citizen) to carry a tool falling under this city's restriction.
The Spyderco C130G Chicago is just that. Two-inches of flat ground CTS-BD1N blade urbanely outfitted with black G-10 handle scales and Michael Walker LinerLock. The handle is shaped and sized ergonomically with full-length skeletonized liners inside for strength without bulk or weight.
Its leaf-like shaped blade effectively cuts across the board, from significant strenuous cuts like carpet and poly rope to something as simple as fingernail cleaning or scraping tape off of glass.
A deep pocket clip burrows the knife down into a pant's pocket with the tip facing up ready to carry left- or right-handed. This one is for Chicagoans or anyone looking for a city/suit knife.
Pocket Clip
Includes a pocket clip for easy accessibility and a more secure carry.
G10 Handles
Formed in a sheet under high pressure by combining fiberglass and an epoxy resin binder. These handles are lightweight and shaped to ensure a solid grip.

Spyderco Chicago Folding Knife 2" CTS-BD1N Satin Plain Blade, Black G10 Handles
I was originally using a shi**y no name folding knife up until it completely broke on me. Blade completely snapped out of the handle. I was looking into investing into a nicer edc but I didn't want to break the bank either. I work at a grocery store here in Chicago so I carry it for small things like tape and cardboard, but also around the city, it gives me a higher sense of safety compared to having nothing on me. Overall, the knife feels well built and sturdy, blade is very sharp and even, and it fits well into any pocket. The only con is that the locking mechanism is a little stiff at first but I'm hoping it eases up with more use.

I'm an Archivist & Librarian who uses this knife as part of my EDC. I have 4 other Spyderco blades, but this is by far my most favorite everyday carry. Period. Its small, but sharp and ready to use with the flick of my thumb. Its usually used to cut parcels and such open, but I've used it to cut steaks at lunch, and whittled tent stakes on the fly. Awesome tool, never leave the house without it.

I bought this knife because I live in NYC. Carrying a blade longer than 2 " will get you arrested. This knife has excellent construction. It is obvious that Spyderco makes excellent, high quality products. The blade is thick, high quality metal and it comes razor sharp. Even though it is not classified as assisted opening, once the knife is broken in, it is very easy to open one handed. This is the best designed and constructed pocket knife I have ever owned. I will buy other Spyderco knives, they are a great company.
