SP253GPBBK: C253GPBBK Michael Janich YoJumbo Blackout
Spyderco
Designed by personal-defense authority Michael Janich, the YoJumbo is a supersized expression of his time-tested Yojimbo 2. Ideal for users with large hands and those who prefer longer blades, this dramatic folder is now available in an all-black format. Its hollow-ground CPM-S30V Wharncliffe blade is cloaked in a low-profile Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) coating and complemented by a matching black-coated four-position clip and handle hardware. Even the nested stainless steel liners that provide the structure for its patented Compression Lock mechanism have a stealthy black coating, making this expression of the YoJumbo perfect for use in environments where light discipline is a concern.
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.
S30V Stainless Steel
This incredibly popular stainless steel is one of the first powder-metal alloys developed specifically for use in cutlery. Thanks to its ability to hold an edge it remains a performance benchmark.
Made in USA
This product is USA born and raised.

Spyderco YoJumbo Blackout Folding Knife 3.98" S30V Black DLC Plain Blade, Coarse Black G10 Handles
I cannot find a grip where this knife fits my hand. Love the blade. Love the super aggressive grip texture. Deployment is disappointingly lethargic with thumb and finger. Blade does fall shut. The problem is with the handle. There is not a grip were this fits. At all. Hump in the middle finds the center of my middle finger and in my standard grip the back hump digs my pinky finger. I wear an XL glove. The humps on this handle just ruin it for me. Did not remotely find this big in my pocket.Did not find the knife heavy at all. Really hate the ergonomics of this knife! And I'll repeat on the deployment. Super slowwwww. Returning it.

Got this a couple of months ago; my first Spyderco and the most I've ever paid for a folder/pocket knife. This thing is a beast without being bulky. Substantial yet light. Well built. Carries well. Has cut through everything so far; rope, plastic, cardboard, wood (little bit of whittling), leather. Definitely slicey but pokey too! I like the bigger blade and coarse G-10 scales, great grip and power. Really shines as self defense weapon. Can tell it was designed by someone who knew what they were doing. I feel comfortably armed with this in my hand. The handle facilitates multiple grip options; underhand grip, blade edge out is very effective. I know it doesn't fit the standard Spyderco profiles, but this badboy deserves some attention.

My third knife from KC. So pleasing in every way being a new customer. Shipped and arrived in a flash, carefully packaged. YJBFK in the flesh, folded or extended, commands attention. Makes a statement.The YJBFK in hand delights in every way. Perfect to behold, pristine literally. Beautifully fabricated DLC blade, feel and size of G-10 handle, even the clip. Impressive even folded. Extended from its nest the YJBFK makes a serious appearance from either end of the blade. Satisfaction with its action opening and lock release once nested engenders confidence. Immediately, once beheld the YJBK was desirable for my collection.
