Spyderco Roadie XL

The Spyderco Roadie XL expands the original Roadie concept into a more capable everyday format while preserving its elegant simplicity. Its M398 blade is opened entirely by hand using the sculpted Double Dent, and a traditional slipjoint supplies controlled spring tension without locking the blade open. The lightweight FRN handle is carefully shaped for comfort, balance, and unobtrusive carry.

Knife Lover Notes

• Why it stands out: High-performance M398 steel and a distinctive manual-opening design elevate a straightforward non-locking folder.
• What it feels like: Light, refined, and confident in hand, with thoughtful ergonomics that make the most of its slim profile.
