The Lil’ LionSpy traces its history to the original LionSpy™, a heavy-duty folding knife that marked a groundbreaking collaboration between Spyderco and Italy’s LionSteel. It proudly retains all the distinguishing features of its bigger brother, but in a smaller, more pocket-friendly format.
The blade of the Lil’ LionSpy is ground from premium Elmax steel—a third-generation powdered metallurgy steel from Austria’s Böhler-Uddeholm. Known for its high carbon and chromium contents and extra-fine grain structure, Elmax provides extreme edge holding and corrosion resistance. The blade is purposely thick for strength, but features a high flat grind and a pronounced “belly” for superior cutting performance.
The Lil’ LionSpy’s two-piece handle construction consists of a black G-10 scale and a titanium scale that serves as the basis of the knife’s stout Reeve Integral Lock (R.I.L.) mechanism. Both scales are CNC machined with a series of textured grooves to ensure a positive grip and are joined by an open-backed design that reduces weight and simplifies cleaning. A compact pocket clip attached to the titanium scale supports right-side, tip-up orientation for convenient carry and easy access.
To ensure superior lock reliability, the Lil’ LionSpy’s advanced R.I.L. mechanism features a hardened steel insert and LionSteel’s patented RotoBlock device. This titanium disk serves as an overtravel stop for the lock bar. When the blade is opened, turning the RotoBlock clockwise wedges the lock bar in place, preventing unintentional release of the lock and providing outstanding

Spyderco Lil Lionspy C181GTIP tactical knife, folding military knife.
The Spyderco Knife.
The Spyderco American
Knife Company was founded in 1976 by Sal and Gail Glesser.
Spyderco knives are
famous for being the most innovative tactical and sports knives. Over time,
they have assumed a predominant position even among the diving knives and the
boat knives, which are very popular for H1 steel (water-resistant steel) used
for these knives.
Today the typical hole on
the blade of Spyderco knives is not only a characteristic of the knife (used to
open the blade with one hand), but has become the symbol of this American
knives company, also visible in fixed blade knives.
