Discontinued Item – Serial # - BNIB
The illustrated Spyderco Knife is the Spyderco Tatanka Knife that features a 5.05" spear point blade made of VG10 stainless steel, .157" thick. The blade of this Spyderco knife has a saber grind, top swedge, a notched thumb ramp for secure grip, and the Spyderco hole for ambidextrous one hand opening. The contoured black G10 handle, 6.50" closed, has skeletonized stainless steel liners for strength, Boye Dent PowerLock and a lined lanyard hole. A four position steel pocket clip is included with this Spyderco Knife. The Spyderco Tatanka Knife has an overall open length of 11.55" and it weighs 9.2 ounces. Made in Japan.

From the Spyderco website: Meaning "American bison" in the Lakota Sioux language, "Tatanka" is also the name of Spyderco's first "super-sized" folder. Its defining feature is its high-strength PowerLock - a deceptively simple yet incredibly strong lock that at first glance looks like an ordinary back lock. Take a closer look, however, and you'll see a secondary cam component that is the secret to the lock's strength. When the blade is opened, the tang contacts a sturdy stop pin in the handle to stop its rotation. At the same time, the spring-powered lever in the back of the handle rotates the cam around its pivot, causing a finger at the bottom of the cam to wedge against a concave surface on the top of the tang. This wedging action creates an incredibly secure lock-up, yet allows the lock to be released smoothly and easily.
