Designed by personal-defense trainer Michael Janich, the Spyderco Yojimbo 2 refines the original Yojimbo concept with a Wharncliffe blade profile and ergonomic handle geometry. The knife pairs a 3.20-inch CPM S30V blade with textured G-10 scales and nested stainless liners to deliver controlled cutting performance and structural strength. Its profile and thumb hole encourage a thumb-forward grip and positive control, while the Compression Lock provides secure, reliable lockup. A four-position pocket clip supports versatile carry options for everyday use.
