Spyderco Matriarch 2 Lightweight Emerson Opener SpyderEdge Knife Black Blade. The Spyderco Matriarch 2 Folding Knife combines the extraordinary cutting power of our Reverse "S" blade profile and SpyderEdge serrations with the blindingly fast deployment speed of the patented Emerson Opening feature. The result is an amazingly swift and potent cutting tool that is ready for anything. The original Matriarch was inspired by a request from Spyderco's South African distributor for a more economical version of our iconic Civilian. The standard Matriarch 2 is an evolution of that concept combining the Civilian's aggressive blade shape and Reverse "S" edge profile with the lightweight handle construction of the best-selling Endura 4 to provide extreme cutting performance in a convenient lightweight package. By adding an Emerson Opener a small integral hook on the spine of the blade the latest version of the Spyderco Matriarch 2 Folder w/Emerson Open raises the bar even further by offering the ultimate in high-speed deployment. As the knife is drawn from tip-up carry the Emerson Opener snags on the mouth of the pocket and automatically opens the blade as it clears the pocket. Originally developed by renowned knifemaker Ernest Emerson Spyderco is licensed to incorporate this remarkable feature into selected Spyderco designs. Offering completely ambidextrous operation the Spyderco Matriarch 2 Steel Folding Knife w/Emerson Open features a four-position clip a sturdy back lock mechanism skeletonized stainless steel liners and a Bi-Directional-Textured fiberglass-reinforced-nylon handle.

It traces its lineage back to the revolutionary Civilian folding knife which was specifically developed as a survival tool for undercover narcotics officers. The Civilians distinctive Reverse S blade was later integrated with an injection-molded fiberglass-reinforced-nylon (FRN) handle to create the original Matriarch. The Matriarch 2 combines an aggressive VG-10 stainless steel Reverse S blade with the lightweight handle of Spydercos best-selling Endura 4. Ernest Emersons patented Emerson Opening feature supercharges the design with an integral hook on the back of the blade that automatically opens it when the knife is drawn from the pocket. Adding a stealthy black titanium carbonitride (TiCN) coating to the blade and other metal hardware eliminates reflection and makes this knife ideal for use in high-risk environments where light discipline is a concern.
