Spyderco's incredibly popular line of Value Folders takes a new turn with the Astute. Although it shares the same basic construction and materials as its brethren, it features a sleeker, more stylish design that is amazingly pocket friendly.
The long, gently curved cutting edge and full-flat grind of its 8Cr13MoV stainless steel blade give it impressive cutting power and point utility. Its ergonomic, open-backed handle features full stainless steel liners for strength and textured G-10 scales to ensure a secure, non-slip grip.
The sturdy LinerLock mechanism locks the blade securely when in use and a four-position pocket clip and lined lanyard hole allow all possible carry preferences. Simply put, the Astute sets a new standard in affordable Spyderco style.

Exactly what I hoped it would...
I have the Spyderco Tenacious and I love everything about it except it is a little big in the pocket. I ordered the Astute because it is a bit smaller. The knife is great. It fits in my pocket well. For being a smaller knife and having bigger hands the ergonomics on it are amazing. It's easy to get shaving sharp and holds the edge. All of that coupled with fast shipping I have to say it was a great purchase and I would do it again.
