Spyderco's Techno 3 is a compact workhorse folder with a 2.64" CTS XHP drop point blade, titanium handle, flipper opener, and R.I.L. lock mechanism for reliable everyday carry.
Spyderco's Techno 3 represents the third generation of a design lineage that began with Polish custom knifemaker Marcin Slysz' acclaimed Mouse 3 folder. This evolution maintains the compact, workhorse character of its predecessors while introducing meaningful refinements that enhance both performance and usability.
The Techno 3 incorporates several thoughtful upgrades:
The 2.64-inch blade is forged from CTS XHP stainless steel—a premium material known for excellent edge retention and corrosion resistance. The high flat grind delivers low-friction cutting performance, while the satin finish and stylish swedge provide both functional utility and refined aesthetics. The blade geometry excels at both slicing tasks and precise point work.
Solid titanium scales are precision machined with faceted chamfers that enhance grip comfort and reduce overall weight. The result is an elegant, durable handle that balances substance with refinement—a cutting tool as practical as it is well-conceived.
The Techno 3 is an everyday carry knife that honors its custom design heritage while delivering genuine, reliable performance.
