Product Description
The Spyderco Matriarch 2 C12SBK2W combines the distinctive Reverse “S” blade design of the Matriarch 2 with an integrated Emerson Opener for rapid blade deployment. Built around the lightweight Endura-style handle, this distinctive Spyderco folder features a fully serrated VG-10 blade, FRN handle, back lock, and four-position ambidextrous pocket clip.
The 3.57-inch VG-10 stainless steel blade features Spyderco's signature Reverse “S” profile and fully serrated SpyderEdge. The hollow-ground blade has a distinctive curved geometry, while the Trademark Round Hole provides a familiar opening option.
Integrated Emerson Opener
The defining feature of the C12SBK2W is its integrated Emerson Opener. This hook on the spine of the blade catches the edge of the pocket as the knife is drawn, helping deploy the blade as it clears the pocket. The Emerson Opener was developed by custom knifemaker Ernest Emerson and is particularly well matched to the Matriarch 2's blade design.
Reverse “S” VG-10 Blade
The 3.57-inch VG-10 stainless steel blade features Spyderco's Reverse “S” profile and fully serrated SpyderEdge. The hollow grind and curved blade geometry give the Matriarch 2 its unmistakable appearance.
Lightweight FRN Handle
The black FRN handle keeps the Matriarch 2 lightweight while providing a durable platform for the blade. A sturdy back lock secures the blade in the open position, while the Trademark Round Hole allows one-handed opening.
Ambidextrous Carry
The Matriarch 2 includes a four-position pocket clip that supports left- or right-handed carry in tip-up or tip-down configurations. This gives the knife considerable carry flexibility for different preferences.

About brand
Quick! List the most respected and innovative knife companies you can think of. If you know anything about knives, Spyderco is somewhere near the top. Spyderco Inc. makes some of the most unique and downright bizarre knife designs you'll see on the market, but from the number of passionate fans discussing, debating, and learning everything they can about Spyderco knives, it's clear that the company has done something right.
From the Glesser Family and the Spyderco Crew:
Since starting Spyderco we've been told our knives are different, peculiar, even out there. All true. Thinking beyond established knife industry barriers allowed us to introduce new and radical innovations to the knife culture including: One-hand opening, serrations on a folder and a clip to attach a knife to a pocket.
We didn't go into business to rake in a mountain of dough we're here for more selfish reasons- indulging our passion for creating knives. Spyderco is definitely out of the norm in the knife industry in our dedication to researching and developing fresh, improved and better performing materials all with function and reliability being key.
Someone once said to Sal Glesser, Spyderco's owner, 'You must design in the dark because your knives look so strange.' True again. Our recognizable appearance is a result of designing ergonomic functional tools rather than applying lipstick and nylons to a pocketknife. We may look curious, homely, whatever, but we'll never be called unusable or undependable.
Making knives that consistently deliver reliable high-performance requires an ongoing commitment to testing. In our million-dollar testing facility we examine edge retention with a CATRA machine, look for rust development with Q-FOG, check the force needed to open and close a knife. We also repeatedly test for stress, wear, optimal heat-treating and actively search for higher quality, performance enhancing steels and materials.
As a customer you probably don't think about this, or much care, but it allows us to put forth a promise. When you purchase a Spyderco you are buying a high-quality reliable cutting tool designed and manufactured for peak performance and ergonomic comfort. Those Who Know Carry Spyderco.
