Spyderco PITS 2 SLIPIT Titanium Folding Knife 2.74-inch

The Spyderco PITS 2 SLIPIT (brand part no. C269TIP) is a 2.74-inch titanium folding knife designed by British knifemaker Mike Read, whose non-locking folder designs redefined the SLIPIT genre for Spyderco. Built for everyday carry by collectors and users who prefer a slip-joint action over a traditional lock, the PITS 2 pairs a state-of-the-art M398 blade with a solid titanium frame. It stands out for a truly unique two-spring-arm mechanism machined directly into the handle scales, giving it smooth, deliberate opening and closing with no moving lock parts to fail. Anyone drawn to precision EDC folders, gentleman’s carry, or Spyderco’s SLIPIT lineup will appreciate how this knife blends old-school slip-joint feel with modern materials.

Key Specifications

• The blade is 2.74 inches long, sized for everyday cutting tasks without adding bulk to a pocket.
• Blade steel is Bohler-Uddeholm M398 particle metallurgy stainless, a premium powder steel prized for holding a working edge.
• The blade is full-flat-ground with a satin finish, which keeps the edge geometry thin and easy to maintain.
• Opening and closing use a non-locking SLIPIT mechanism built from two integral spring arms machined into the handle.
• Those spring arms flex against a notched-joint and stop pin as the blade opens, giving the action its distinctive resistance and feel.
• The handle scales are machined from solid 6AL-4V titanium with a matte finish for a light, corrosion-resistant grip.
• A Trademark Round Hole in the blade allows fast one-handed opening with either hand.
• The reversible tip-up pocket clip makes the knife fully ambidextrous for left- or right-side carry.
