Spyderco ButtonUp™ Folding Knife

Fast. Lightweight. Ready for Everyday Carry.

The best tools don't demand attention.

They earn trust through consistent performance.

The Spyderco ButtonUp™ is Spyderco's first manual-opening folding knife featuring a traditional button-lock mechanism, combining smooth operation, lightweight construction, and practical everyday utility into a compact, highly capable package. Designed by Eric Glesser, the ButtonUp delivers the cutting performance Spyderco is known for while offering one of the smoothest and most enjoyable actions in the company's lineup.

Whether you're handling daily tasks, working on projects, opening packages, or simply carrying a reliable cutting tool, the ButtonUp is built to be ready when needed and unobtrusive when it isn't.

Spyderco's First Manual Button Lock

The ButtonUp introduces a new direction in Spyderco's folding knife lineup.

Its high-strength button-lock mechanism provides secure lockup and effortless one-handed operation, while precision ball-bearing pivot washers create an exceptionally smooth deployment experience.

The result is a folding knife that feels intuitive, responsive, and reliable in everyday use.

Combined with Spyderco's signature Round Hole opener, the ButtonUp offers multiple deployment methods while maintaining the simplicity and dependability expected from a true everyday carry knife.

Lightweight Performance

Built around an open-backed handle design, the ButtonUp minimizes weight without sacrificing strength.

Its carbon fiber/G-10 laminate scales provide a premium appearance and excellent durability, while nested stainless steel microliners reinforce critical stress points around the pivot and locking mechanism.

The modified clip point blade features a full-flat grind that delivers excellent slicing performance, strong edge geometry, and versatile cutting capability.

From routine tasks to unexpected challenges, the ButtonUp is designed to perform.
