Flipper Meets Function. A Tactical Folder That’s Smooth, Strong, and Ready.

The Amalgam is Spyderco’s fusion of flipper speed, Compression Lock strength, and ergonomic design—crafted by mechanical engineering student Brian Lai. With a broad CPM S30V blade and ball-bearing pivot, it opens effortlessly and locks up with confidence. The broad drop point blade with its full-flat grind delivers slicing power and tip control, while the satin finish enhances edge geometry.

Its slim carbon fiber/G-10 handle and open-backed construction make it a lightweight powerhouse for everyday carry. A four-position clip and lined lanyard hole round out a folder built to work. Low-friction ball-bearing washers ensure fast, fluid action, and the index-finger flipper works alongside the Spyderco Round Hole for smooth, ambidextrous opening. Skeletonized stainless steel liners nested in the textured carbon fiber/G-10 laminate keep the folder strong yet light.
