Spyderco Navigator 3 SLIPIT Smooth Gray G10 BM390MC Slip Joint Knife (2.32" Blade) C285GPGY

Built to take on more cutting than its size suggests, the Spyderco Navigator 3 SLIPIT is a pocket-size, non-locking slip joint knife. Its full-flat-ground BM390MC leaf blade folds into gray G10 scales and is shaped for everyday slicing.

• BM390MC Blade - Genuine M390 powder steel from Böhler holds an edge a long time and resists rust, though it takes more work to sharpen than simpler stainless. The full flat grind slices clean, and a refined spine stays comfortable under your thumb.
• Smooth Gray G10 Handle - Smooth gray G10 scales flank the backspring and stay tough and stable through daily carry. They are relieved to seat a reversible deep-pocket wire clip for low left- or right-side tip-up carry.
• Trademark Round Hole - The fully accessible Trademark Round Hole rolls the blade open with an easy push from either thumb. Its broad opening gives the thumb a sure catch. One-handed opening works just as well from the left hand as the right.
• Notched-Joint Non-Locking Mechanism - A full stainless steel backspring holds the blade open and pulls it shut with firm, confident tension. The non-locking SLIPIT format is a socially friendly pick for offices and travel. Like any slip joint, it rewards controlled, deliberate cuts.

The Spyderco Navigator 3

The Navigator 3 is the third version of a compact Round Hole folder that Spyderco first introduced in 1997. The original descended from the pioneering Co-Pilot and later inspired the limited-production Navigator II. Spyderco now revives the design as a SLIPIT, with a notched joint and a spring-backed blade in place of a lock.
