Description
Spyderco Edgerati C266ALS – 3.57" Satin CPM S30V SpyderEdge Folding Knife
The Spyderco Edgerati C266ALS is the brainchild of Spyderco co-founder Sal Glesser, translating his love of high-performance sports cars into a knife. Its pierced, geometric handle is inspired by the frame of the legendary “birdcage” Maserati and is machined from solid aircraft-grade aluminum, then hardcoat anodized for strength, light weight, and a non-slip texture. This C266ALS version carries a 3.57" satin-finished, fully serrated SpyderEdge blade in CPM S30V. Going Gear is an authorized Spyderco dealer.
The open handle architecture shows off the Edgerati's streamlined Compression Lock — a stainless steel lock bar nested into a machined pocket in the obverse scale. The straight-spined, full-flat-ground blade has a textured index-finger choil for a forward, controlled grip, the Trademark Round Hole allows one-handed opening with either hand, and the broad pocket clip is reversible for left- or right-side tip-up carry. Made in Golden, Colorado, USA.

What steel is used in the Spyderco Edgerati C266ALS?
The Spyderco Edgerati C266ALS uses CPM S30V, a Crucible particle-metallurgy stainless steel designed for knives. It offers a strong balance of edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance for everyday carry.
What is the Spyderco Edgerati C266ALS handle made of?
The Spyderco Edgerati C266ALS handle is machined from solid aircraft-grade aluminum and hardcoat anodized. The pierced pattern, inspired by the “birdcage” Maserati race car frame, reduces weight, adds grip texture, and reveals the Compression Lock mechanism.
How does the Compression Lock on the Spyderco Edgerati C266ALS work?
The Spyderco Edgerati C266ALS uses Spyderco's Compression Lock: a stainless steel lock bar wedges between the blade tang and a stop pin when the blade opens. To close it, press the exposed lock bar toward the handle with your thumb and fold the blade — fingers stay out of the blade path.
