Spyderco C138P GrassHopper 2.30" Folding Clip Point Knife, 12C27 Sandvik Blade, Engraved Stainless Steel Handle

The Spyderco C138P GrassHopper is a compact folding knife built for everyday carry and light field work. With a 2.30" clip point blade forged from 12C27 Sandvik stainless steel, this little folder delivers reliable edge geometry in a size that won't weigh down your pocket. The engraved stainless steel handle adds a touch of character while keeping the knife corrosion-resistant and durable through seasons of use.

Spyderco's GrassHopper sits in that sweet spot between a true pocket knife and a fixed-blade companion—small enough to live in a shirt pocket or backpack, substantial enough to handle camp chores, game processing, or general utility work. The clip point blade shape makes it versatile: the sharp tip excels at detail work and piercing, while the belly provides efficient slicing for most tasks. If you appreciate quality steelmaking and Swiss design, the 12C27 Sandvik alloy won't disappoint; it's known for holding an edge well and sharpening easily in the field.

This is a no-frills, working knife for people who don't need a tactical folder plastered with branding. The engraved handle keeps things clean and professional—a tool that looks as good at the dinner table as it does on the trail. Whether you're a minimalist bushcrafter, a hunter who prefers a smaller blade, or simply someone who values genuine craftsmanship, the GrassHopper rewards thoughtful carry.
