The Spyderco Yojimbo 2

Innovation and Excellence

When Michael Janich crafted his inaugural design for Spyderco nearly two decades ago, little did he know it would pave the path for a legacy of innovation and excellence. Joining Spyderco as a technical writer and product educator, Janich’s expertise soon extended to the realm of research and development. His dedication culminated in the creation of The Spyderco Yojimbo 2, a testament to his unwavering commitment to advancing tactical knife design.

Refined Design

Embodying Janich’s visionary approach, the Yojimbo 2 boasts a refined design that sets it apart in Spyderco’s illustrious product lineup. Janich’s advocacy for the Wharncliffe blade profile adds further credence to its tactical prowess. This relentless promotion has cemented its status as a staple in the arsenal of discerning users.

Influence & Collaboration

A testament to its influence, The Spyderco Yojimbo 2 inspired the creation of the Ronin 2, a fixed-blade counterpart crafted in collaboration with custom knifemaker Mickey Yurco. This symbiotic relationship exemplifies the ethos of innovation and collaboration that defines Spyderco’s ethos.

Blade Steel Performance

The Yojimbo 2’s blade, forged from CPM-S30V Stainless Steel, embodies durability and reliability, ensuring unrivaled performance in any situation. With a blade length of 8.5cm and an overall length of 19.5cm, it strikes the perfect balance between compactness and functionality. The G10 handle provides a secure grip, while the Compression Lock mechanism guarantees seamless operation and peace of mind.
