Spyderco SpyOpera FAQ

The Spyderco SpyOpera is a collaboration with LionSteel that blends refined Italian craftsmanship with the practical utility of the signature Spydie Hole. This series offers a sophisticated gentleman's folder aesthetic backed by high performance M390 steel and ergonomic crowned surfaces.

Where is the Spyderco SpyOpera manufactured?
The SpyOpera is manufactured in Maniago, Italy, by LionSteel. This partnership brings together LionSteel's specialized manufacturing techniques and Spyderco's iconic design features to create a high-end Italian-made knife.
What type of blade steel does the SpyOpera use?
The SpyOpera series features premium M390 stainless steel. This high-performance steel is selected for its superior edge retention and high level of corrosion resistance, which are ideal for both daily tasks and long-term collecting.
How does the SpyOpera differ from the standard LionSteel Opera?
The most significant difference is the inclusion of the trademark Spyderco round hole for one-handed deployment. While the original Opera is a more traditional design, the SpyOpera updates the platform with modern one-hand opening capabilities and a deep-carry wire pocket clip.
How long is the blade on the Spyderco SpyOpera?
The blade measures approximately 2.9 inches in length. This size is particularly useful for users who need to stay under the three-inch blade limit enforced in many specific locales and jurisdictions.
What handle materials are used in the SpyOpera series?
The series currently features brown canvas micarta handle scales with a polished finish. Unlike the matte texture found on many tactical knives, this micarta is finished with a slight shine to complement the classy, gentleman's folder style of the knife.
How is the action on the SpyOpera back lock?
The SpyOpera is designed with a back spring that is less stiff than many traditional lockbacks, resulting in a very fluid and smooth one-handed opening. This provides a different experience than other Spyderco folding knives like the Delica, which often have more opening resistance.
