The Spyderco Slym (brand part no. C271TIP) is a 3.42-inch titanium folding knife produced by lionSTEEL exclusively for Spyderco, elevating designer Michele Pensato’s popular Skinny profile with the user-friendly addition of Spyderco’s Trademark Round Hole. Built for shooters, everyday carriers, and knife enthusiasts who want a lean, premium folder, the Slym pairs a stonewash-finished M390 blade with a precision-machined titanium handle. Every detail, from its ball-bearing pivot to its carbon fiber inlay, is built for a smooth, refined carry experience rather than heavy-duty field abuse.
