Tenacious, Persistence, Resilience and Ambitious are qualities we aspire to when facing challenges. These traits are revered at Spyderco and why we named our line of Value Folders after them. Our goal is to offer affordable folders with five-star features: G-10 handles, Walker LinerLocks, jimping, lined lanyard holes and skeletonized full-length internal liners. Feature-forfeature, dollar-for-dollar, performance-for-performance, Spyderco Value Folders represent a best buy in the knife industry.
C148 Ambitious
The Ambitious is a small, palm-sized workhorse offering big performance in a compact package.
Features
4-way Hourglass Clip: Tip up/down, left/right hand
8Cr Stainless Steel
One of the most common budget stainless steels, it maintains a competitive combination of edge retention and toughness in its price range.
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.
I’ve had and carried the knife for a number of weeks. For $33 you can’t do better. It’s small, yet comfortably fits in your hand with a three finger grip. The fourth finger is slightly in back. There are no hot spots on the knife. Although it’s cheaper steel, it’s remained sharp for everyday, mundane cutting activities. The blade is well centered and needs a bit of breaking in but not much. The knife looks great in basic black. The blade shape is ergonomicly designed allowing for easy cutting at most angles. No side to side blade play or other loose parts. No brainer at this price.
There is is great feel and finish to this knife. I got it at a great sale price and carry it every day to work. I take the clip off because I don't use it.
