The Spyderco UpTern takes inspiration from the byrd Tern but brings it to the next level with a stainless steel handle and a secure back lock mechanism. Originally designed as a non-locking alternative for restrictive knife laws, the Tern developed a dedicated following, and Spyderco responded with this upgraded version.
This pre-owned UpTern retains the stylish lines and ergonomic feel of its predecessor while adding a stronger, more secure construction. The full-flat-ground 8Cr13MoV stainless steel blade ensures solid cutting performance, while the fully accessible Trademark Round Hole allows for easy, ambidextrous, one-handed opening. A 50/50 index-finger choil and thumb ramp jimping provide exceptional grip control, making it a reliable everyday carry. The four-position hourglass clip allows for tip-up or tip-down carry on either side, giving you the flexibility to carry it your way.
This budget-friendly Spyderco folder is an excellent choice for those who appreciate classic Spyderco design with modern usability.
