Spyderco Autonomy Auto Orange G-10 Handles Satin H1 Serrated Blade C165GSOR
The Spyderco Autonomy was developed in response to a request from the U.S. Coast Guard for a cutting tool that would meet the demanding mission requirements of their rescue swimmers. They needed a high performance knife that could be easily deployed with only one hand while wearing heavy gloves, is impervious to salt water, could be easily maintained and, above all, would cut with extreme authority. The result was the orange handled Autonomy automatic, which is approved for use by Coast Guard personnel. Specifically designed to be carried in a dedicated pocket in the rescue swimmer’s vest, the original Autonomy had no need for a firing button safety or pocket clip. However, because many of the features of the design were so revolutionary, Spyderco soon received requests for a version that was suitable for pocket carry and still featured the high visibility orange handles of the original. The result is an orange handled Autonomy with a safety and a pocket clip.
The Autonomy’s ergonomic, finger grooved handle is constructed with full stainless steel liners flanked by textured orange G10 scales. Its oversized firing button is powered by a spring that is integral to one of the liners and includes a sliding safety that prevents unintentional activation. The handle’s other metal hardware including its reversible wire pocket clip is also made exclusively from corrosion resistant materials. Brand new in box.
