Spyderco Autonomy 2 handle scales
The Spyderco Autonomy 2 is the refined evolution of Spyderco’s groundbreaking automatic knife, originally developed in direct response to a request from the United States Coast Guard Rescue Swimmers. Designed for extreme aquatic and rescue environments, the Autonomy series delivers lightning-fast one-handed deployment even when wearing thick gloves, combined with maximum corrosion resistance in saltwater conditions.
Key facts and history:
- Created for USCG rescue operations where reliability in wet, high-stress situations is critical.
- Features patented automatic mechanism with an oversized firing button for gloved operation.
- Blade crafted from ultra-corrosion-resistant LC200N steel (used by NASA in spacecraft bearings) – nearly rust-proof and ideal for marine use.
- The Autonomy 2 improves on the original with a more neutral ergonomic handle (no deep finger grooves) and a versatile full-flat-ground drop point blade for everyday tactical and utility tasks, while retaining all the proven rescue DNA
