Spyderco C189PBK Roadie Sheepsfoot Folding Knife Black – Satin

The Spyderco C189PBK Roadie was designed to be a highly evolved penknife that is more practical and user friendly than its historical predecessors. It’s most distinguishing characteristic – the “Double Dent”, is a pair of symmetrical dimples in the blade that provide a solid purchase for a fingernail free two handed opening. Far superior to a traditional nail nick, they also do not collect dirt or debris.

Unlike traditional penknives, the Roadie also features a subtle index finger choil that increases control of the knife during use and acts as a safeguard against unintentional closure. These enhanced features elevate the Roadie far beyond the conventional penknife and set a new standard in socially friendly cutting tools. Although the knife was never given the opportunity to respond to tis original “calling”, the result of the project was far too good to pass up.

The business end of the Roadie is a sheepfoot style blade ground from Böhler-Uddeholm N690Co steel, a high performance stainless steel alloyed with cobalt, molybdenum, and vanadium. Its wide blade profile and full flat grind create incredible edge geometry for a keen, scalpel sharp edge. The broad blade also provides real estate for the distinctive “Double Dent” feature that allows the blade to be easily opened with a pinch grip of the thumb and index finger. Although not intended as an opening feature, a Trademark Round Hole in the blade proudly identifies the Roadie as a Spyderco product.

At the base of the blade near its juncture with the handle, there is a subtle forefinger choil (finger groove). Placing your index finger on the choil provides excellent control of the edge and creates a natural “stop” to help prevent the knife from closing unintentionally. Both the choil and the opposing thumb ramp on the spine of the blade feature jimping (textured grooves) to promote a positive, non-slip grip.

Unlike a traditional slipjoint, the Roadie’s blade is held open by an improved notched joint mechanism. Its spring also forms the handle’s full length back strap, giving it structural strength and providing a foundation for the durable fiberglass reinforced nylon (FRN) scales. The injection molded scales are contoured for comfort and feature a recessed Spyderco “bug” logo on both sides.

The Roadie represents a quantum leap in the evolution of modern pocketknife design and sets a new standard of excellence for the breed. We are confident that yours will serve you well.
