Spycerco C273TIP Cobol Titanium Bohler M390 Slip Joint
The Spyderco Cobol, designed by Paul Alexander, is a sleek, non-locking folder that blends Eastern and Western design elements. It operates on Spyderco’s Ball Joint SlipIt mechanism, which uses dual internal spring-arms and ball bearings to hold the blade open without a formal lock.
Its blade is made from Böhler M390 stainless steel, a premium particle-metallurgy steel known for excellent edge retention, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance. The tanto-style profile with a compound bevel transitions from a saber bevel to a flat grind toward the tip, offering strong piercing strength with refined cutting ability.
The handle is made of machined titanium with integral spring arms, giving a minimalist yet robust frame that complements the non-locking design. A reversible deep-carry wire clip supports tip-up carry in both left- and right-hand setups.
