The Spyderco Cara Cara 2 Lightweight (Spyderco part no. BY03PBK2W) takes the proven Cara Cara 2 design and adds an Emerson Opener, the integral spine hook invented by custom knifemaker Ernest Emerson that snags a pocket edge as you draw the knife, popping the blade open before it clears your pocket. The full-flat-ground 8Cr13MoV stainless blade is backed by a lightweight, non-slip injection-molded FRN handle with skeletonized stainless liners and a stout back lock for secure use. A four-position hourglass clip rounds out a knife built for speed of deployment without sacrificing everyday carry comfort.
