The Spyderco Essenza is a masterclass in minimalist design and everyday functionality, created in collaboration with Riccardo Gobbato of Raven Knives Design. Based on Gobbato’s CHNOPS platform, the Essenza channels clean lines, Italian precision, and premium materials into a refined EDC built for modern carry.
 
The handle is crafted from precision-machined, black anodized aluminum, shaped to accommodate any grip style while staying light in the pocket and sophisticated in appearance. Inside, a nested stainless steel liner forms the backbone of the knife’s dependable liner lock.
 
Its satin-finished Bohler N690Co blade is flat ground for slicing efficiency and features a radiused spine for enhanced comfort and control. Spyderco’s iconic Trademark Round Hole makes one-handed opening with either hand smooth and reliable.
 
A deep-carry, reversible pocket clip ensures the Essenza rides low and discreetly in the pocket, whether you're carrying left or right, tip-up only. It’s an ideal choice for those who value elegance as much as performance.
