Spyderco Charisma

The Spyderco Charisma is an exceptionally slim, lightweight folding knife designed around efficient everyday cutting performance. Its full-flat-ground CTS-BD1N blade is opened entirely by hand through Spyderco’s signature round hole and secured by a conventional back lock. The fiberglass-reinforced nylon handle keeps the profile light in the pocket while providing the control and dependable construction expected from Spyderco.
