Spyderco Grasshopper – Stainless Steel Plain

The stainless-steel Spyderco Grasshopper is a slender, thoughtfully proportioned pocketknife with a clean all-metal presentation. Its 8Cr13MoV blade is opened entirely by hand through Spyderco’s signature round hole. A traditional slipjoint supplies controlled spring tension without locking the blade open, keeping the mechanism simple, reliable, and easy to maintain.

Knife Lover Notes

• Why it stands out: A refined stainless-steel build that combines useful reach with a remarkably thin carry profile.
