Description

Sometimes bigger really is better. Israeli custom knifemaker Nati Amor’s first Spyderco Collaboration is one of those times. Based on his handmade “Sabotage” model, the Subvert features a broad, full-flat-ground blade with a fully accessible Trademark Round Hole. The deep-bellied blade pivots on low-friction ball-bearing washers housed within the thick skeletonized titanium liners that form the foundation of the knife’s stout liner lock mechanism. An impressive 3 mm (0.118-inch) thick, the full liners are capped with radiused, 3D-textured scales and buffered by a partial backspacer. A curved stainless steel pocket clip provides right-side, tip-up carry and is complemented by a unique lanyard hole for the easy attachment of fobs or lanyards.

Designed by Israeli goldsmith and custom knifemaker Nati Amor, the Subvert faithfully translates his handcrafted “Sabotage” folder into a premium-quality production knife. This elite Sprint Run expression of it further elevates the design by rendering its dramatically styled full-flat ground blade in CPM-20CV. This highly wear-resistant, powder metallurgy stainless steel contains a high volume of vanadium carbides and the highest amount of chromium of any vanadium-rich stainless steel currently available, giving it a remarkable combination of edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness. Equally unique, the beautifully contoured scales of this knife are precision machined from solid carbon fiber. All other features are consistent with the standard version of the knife, including ball-bearing pivot washers, thick, skeletonized titanium liners, a stout Liner Lock mechanism, and a custom pocket clip configured for right-side tip-up carry.
