Spyderco AUTONOMY 2 "Coast Guard" Auto Model C165GPBBK2   with H1 Plain Edge Blackened Blade

Highly Sought After Auto from Spyderco, the AUTONOMY 2 was developed for the U.S. Coast Guard's Rescue Swimmers. The 3 1/2" Plain Edge blade was the first American Made knife to use H-1 steel, a nitrogen-based steel that is completely immune to saltwater corrosion.

Other unique features of this auto is the removable shroud that allows the spring to be serviced without disassembling the entire knife.The oversized release button which is uniquely shaped allowing easy access when wearing gloves or if you lose the feeling in your hands due to exposure to cold water.

The button passes through both stainless steel handle liners, stabilizing it and increasing the blade's lock strength. The button's spring is also integral to the stainless steel liner, providing increased tension and eliminating any cavities within the handle that could retain water.

Measures 4 7/8" closed. The knife's open construction allows it to be easily cleaned and dried, making it the ideal tool for waterborne rescue operations. USA Made. Weighs 5.5 oz. Winner of the prestigious "Most Innovative American Design" award at the 2012 Blade Show. Features black G-10 scales, with a non-reflective black coating on the blade and all hardware, and a sliding safety to prevent accidental discharge. Pocket Clip is reversible, (tip up carry).
