The Spyderco Roadie was designed with the intention of meeting the TSA's 2013 guidelines for carry-on knives, a plan that was ultimately not implemented. However, Spyderco has crafted the Roadie in anticipation of a future where knives are permitted on planes once again. This knife is a modern take on the classic penknife, featuring a sheepsfoot blade that is both practical and easy to open with its unique Double Dent opener, eliminating the need for using fingernails for a two-handed opening. The handle is made from gray, contoured fiberglass-reinforced nylon and incorporates a notched-joint mechanism for durability. Additionally, the blade includes an index-finger choil to prevent accidental closure and ensure precise cutting. The Roadie is available in several colors, making it a versatile and essential tool for contemporary users seeking a blend of safety, utility, and style.
