Tthe Amalgam combines all the advantages of Spydercos Compression Lock mechanism, a fully accessible Trademark Round Hole and a flipper opener into one synergistic package. The Amalgam features a broad, drop-point blade crafted from American-made CPM S30V stainless steel. The PlainEdge blade is full-flat ground for exceptional edge geometry and showcases a beautiful satin finish. It also rides on special low-friction ball-bearing washers that give it a smooth action and help ensure swift, positive, one-handed opening with either its index-finger flipper or its round hole. The handle features skeletonized stainless steel liners nested into textured carbon fiber/G-10 laminate scales. This keeps the ergonomic handle slim and pocket friendly and complements its open-backed construction to minimize the knifes overall weight and accentuate its balance. A four-position clip and lined lanyard hole support all possible carry preferences and allow the Amalgam to be brought into action quickly and positively with either hand.
