Spyderco Knives: Spyderco Southard Folder, SP-C156GPBN


The illustrated Spyderco Knife is the Spyderco Southard Folder, designed by custom knifemaker Brad Southard, that features a 3.46" modified drop point blade made of CTS 204P stainless steel, .157" thick. The blade of this Spyderco knife has a stonewash finish, a hollow grind, a notched thumb rest, the Spyderco hole and a Flipper for ambidextrous one hand opening. The handle, 4.50" closed, has a textured brown G10 front scale for secure grip, a titanium back scale with R.I.L. (Reeve Integral Lock) and a lanyard hole. A removable stainless steel pocket clip is mounted at the butt end of this Spyderco Knife. The Spyderco Southard Folder has an overall open length of 7.96" and it weighs 4.1 ounces. Made in Taiwan.

From the Spyderco manufacturer's catalog: Brad Southard is a talented custom knifemaker who specializes in high-performance folder designs. His first collaboration with Spyderco features a flipper blade opening device that was pioneered by custom knifemaker Kit Carson. A flipper consists of a small lever that extends from the base of the Southard's CTS 204P hollow-ground blade and protrudes from the back of the knife's handle when closed. Pulling on it with your index finger creates a tension against the detent mechanism that holds the blade closed. When the detent is overcome, the blade rotates on a special captive ball-bearing pivot system and snaps authoritatively into the open position. The Southard Folder features a stonewashed finish on the blade and the titanium scale that forms the foundation of the knife's Reeve Integral Lock (R.I.L.) mechanism. The opposite scale is machined from textured Earth-brown G-10 for a positive grip, and the knife includes a pocket clip configured for rightside, tip-up carry.

Very nice flipper style knife. Well designed & attractive. Unfortunately the CKRT Swindler at $30-$40 is a much better opener. The Southard is difficult and makes your index finger sore even after lubrication and 100's of flips. Perhaps they should have used the IKBS bearing system that CKRT used. I love the knife but only loosening the pivot screw fixed the problem. This should have been checked by quality control at Spyderco. Shame on them. :-)

I really like the knife, the ergos are not as bad as some reviews made them out to be. The major issue I have with this knife is that the lock up is around 60-70%. For a new knife that costs a decent amount, this doesn't sit well with me.
