Spyderco Mantra 3
Another knife we didn’t see coming is the Spyderco Mantra 3. The new flipper is more than just a makeover of the Mantras 1 and 2. The overall size and profile are similar to the Mantra 1, but changes make this feel like an entirely different knife. The Mantra 3 features a compression lock instead of a framelock, carbon fiber composite scales over steel liners instead of titanium handles and S30V instead of M4 blade steel.
