SP259PBK: C259PBK Charisma Lightweight - Black
Spyderco
Designed by Eric Glesser, the Charisma is an ultra-slim, incredibly lightweight cutting tool that is so easy to carry, you won't leave home without it. Weighing a scant 0.81 ounces (23 g), it features a full-flat-ground CTS-BD1N stainless steel blade supported by a back lock mechanism and a Boye Dent to prevent unintentional closure. The linerless handle is injection molded from tough fiberglass-reinforced nylon (FRN) and includes both bilateral longitudinal grooves and a pebbled texture to ensure a secure grip during use. To balance discreet carry and instant access, it also includes a reversible deep-pocket wire clip and a convenient lanyard hole. True to its name, the Charisma has a charm all its own and is proudly made in the USA.

Pocket knife
I have some Spyderco’s folders and fixed blades. This is something very new and different. Solid and very well made! And in the USA! It is smaller without being small. If that makes sense? The blade is definitely not too small or short, the handle has cut outs along the side that fit you thumb just right.The pocket clip on the side allows your fingers to hold it firmly with the blade closed and helps fill the hand when blade is open. I added a lanyard which adds length. The edge was not ground correctly so I used my KME to make it right. The steel is very abrasion resistant, gets a good curl and yet removes easily! This is very hard steel but not brittle! Used 600 grit diamond and it cuts TP like a lazer! Wow what a winner!

This is the lightest edc I own. Easy to carry and the wire clip is excellent. Blade is razor sharp right out of the box and I highly recommend this knife for anyone looking for a useful tool without too much bulk.
