Description
SP236TIP: C236TIP McBee
Spyderco
Jonathan McNees is a veteran US Marine and an avid outdoorsman whose real-world knife-using experience shines through in all his custom designs. His ultra-compact McNees folder, based on his popular "Killer B" model, proves that function is a matter of design, not size. Crafted from CTS-XHP, its saber-ground Wharncliffe blade offers both scalpel-like precision and impressive cutting power, as well as true one-hand-opening capability via its Trademark Round Hole. The stonewashed blade is matched to a sturdy Reeve Integral Lock (R.I.L.) built into one of the handle's solid titanium scales. A right-side, tip-up pocket clip and a lined lanyard hole guarantee convenient carry while stippled accents on the pivot screws and handle replicate McNees' signature style.

Exceptional quality in a small package
Bravo Spyderco, Bravo👏I've had this knife since January & I still love it just as much as the day I received it. It works well in a watch pocket or as a pendant. It doesn't take up much space, so there really is no excuse to not have it with you. I really like the CTS-XHP blade steel & titanium handle slabs which add a premium feel to such a small knife.I applaud Spyderco for collaborating with Jonathan McNees to make this blade possible. It is a 1:1 copy of his custom Killer B knife with not too many differences. What's great is that adding a beaded lanyard not only looks nice, but it also helps with retention. I think this is a great secondary blade to have with you so that you don't "Frighten the sheeple"😱, or when you want to travel through areas where blade length can be a problem. The only modification I made to mine was that I replaced the stock clip with a titanium deep-carry clip for better concealment & security. Right now this model is sold out everywhere including here, which shows how popular it really is. I'm partly to blame for taking so long, but I'm wondering why nobody else has left a review of this sweet little knife.
