Brad Southard is an amazingly talented custom knife makerwho specializes in high-performance folder designs. His first collaborationwith Spyderco features a “flipper”—a novel blade-opening device that waspioneered by custom knife maker Kit Carson. A flipper consists of a small leverthat extends from the base of the Southard’s CTS 204P hollow-ground blade andprotrudes from the back of the knife’s handle when closed. Pulling on it withyour index finger creates a tension against the detent mechanism that holds theblade closed. When the detent is overcome, the blade rotates on a specialcaptive ball-bearing pivot system and snaps authoritatively into the openposition.The Southard’s handle combines a textured Earth-brown G-10 scale and thicktitanium liner on one side with a solid titanium scale on the other. Thetitanium scale forms the foundation of the knife’s sturdy Reeve Integral Lock(R.I.L.) mechanism and features a small inlaid G-10 panel that acts as anovertravel stop when releasing the lock mechanism. It is also home to theknife’s matching stainless steel clip, which supports right-side tip-up carry.Offering an amazing synthesis of ergonomics, functionality, andstate-of-the-art materials, the Southard is one of the most advanced Spydercofolders ever produced No Box included but near perfect shape.
