The Best of Two Knives by Matt S., Gear Expert, October 6, 2016
Not for utility work, this knife is meant for slashing and tearing through any attacker you may encounter. The Emerson opener makes deployment near instantaneous and while it works best with stiffer materials like jeans, I've gotten it to deploy whe...

Exquisite blade....bad tolerances. by Glowplugjoe, May 27, 2016
This is a great blade design for self defense and probably would scare away most aggressors without physical contact...if they're smart that is. The belly of the blade, with it's serrated spyderco edge, has the characteristics of a saw and will cut t...

I love the Civilian model, so I had high hopes for this blade. This is smaller, VERY light to carry daily, and looks MEAN. The Emerson Opener is ingenious, it simply WORKS. Be very careful with this knife, as stated in the other reviews this is a bl...

Self Defense? Yes! by LincolnR, Verified Owner, July 6, 2020
I wanted a self defense knife for times when local laws prohibit concealed-carry firearms. I didn't want a 'stabbie' type. After much research I settled on the Matriarch 2. The thumb hole for deployment is a good size for my large-glove-sized hand. T...

Product Info for Spyderco Matriarch 2 Lightweight Emerson Opener Knife

This Spyderco Matriarch 2 Knife w/Emerson Open is a brilliantly designed folding knife with the awesome features of the Matriarch 2 and the addition of the Emerson Opening technique. The Spyderco Matriarch 2 Folding Knife combines the extraordinary cutting power of our Reverse "S" blade profile and SpyderEdge serrations with the blindingly fast deployment speed of the patented Emerson Opening feature. The result is an amazingly swift and potent cutting tool that is ready for anything.image

The original Matriarch was inspired by a request from Spyderco's South African distributor for a more economical version of our iconic Civilian. The standard Matriarch 2 is an evolution of that concept, combining the Civilian's aggressive blade shape and Reverse "S" edge profile with the lightweight handle construction of the best-selling Endura 4 to provide extreme cutting performance in a convenient, lightweight package. By adding an Emerson Opener—a small integral hook on the spine of the blade—the latest version of the Spyderco Matriarch 2 Folder w/Emerson Open raises the bar even further by offering the ultimate in high-speed deployment. As the knife is drawn from tip-up carry, the Emerson Opener snags on the mouth of the pocket and automatically opens the blade as it clears the pocket. Originally developed by renowned knifemaker Ernest Emerson, Spyderco is licensed to incorporate this remarkable feature into selected Spyderco designs.

Offering completely ambidextrous operation, the Spyderco Matriarch 2 Steel Folding Knife w/Emerson Open features a four-position clip, a sturdy back lock mechanism, skeletonized stainless steel liners, and a Bi-Directional-Textured™ fiberglass-reinforced-nylon handle.
