Spyderco's award winning Autonomy automatic knife design is receiving a makeover in the form of the utilitarian Autonomy 2. The Autonomy 2 differs from the original design with a more neutral handle grip and a drop point blade profile for everyday use. This new design features the same mechanism and prominent firing button for easy use in gloved hands. The full-flat ground blade is made from nitrogen based LC200N rustproof steel for maximized corrosion resistance. A unique hourglass pocket clip straddles the lanyard hole and is reversible for left or right side carry. Features:
