The Spyderco NAND folding knife (brand part no. C270TIP) comes from Paul Alexander, a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering and lifelong knife enthusiast, and joins Spyderco’s SLIPIT family of non-locking folders. Closed, the tail of its full-flat-ground blade extends past the pivot, letting it open one-handed like a classic straight razor; once open, twin ball-bearing detents index the blade in place through the knife’s Ball Joint Non-Locking Mechanism. Its blade is crafted from M398 stainless steel and includes a fully functional Trademark Round Hole, while precision-machined solid titanium handle scales house a reversible deep-pocket wire clip for fully ambidextrous, tip-up carry.
