Ultralight 0.8-ounce folding knife with 2.98" CTS BD1N drop point blade, gray FRN handle, back lock, and reversible clip. Designed for everyday carry by Eric Glesser.
The Charisma represents a masterclass in knife design—a collaboration between Eric Glesser and Spyderco's engineering team that prioritizes what matters most: a blade you'll actually carry because it weighs almost nothing.
At just 0.8 ounces, this knife disappears in your pocket. The full-flat-ground blade measures 2.98 inches and is crafted from Carpenter Technology's CTS BD1N stainless steel, a nitrogen-enriched alloy that balances edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance with genuine ease of sharpening.
The linerless handle is injection molded from fiberglass-reinforced nylon (FRN) and features:
A back lock mechanism provides dependable blade security, while a strategically placed Boye Dent—a relief cut in the lock release—prevents unintentional closure during normal use.
Proudly manufactured at Spyderco's headquarters in Golden, Colorado, the Charisma sets a new standard in lightweight, discreet everyday cutting tools.
