Aggressive Edge. Lightning Deployment. Tactical Precision.
The Spyderco Matriarch 2 Emerson Opener is a purpose-built defensive tool that combines the slicing power of a Reverse “S” SpyderEdge blade with the rapid deployment of Ernest Emerson’s patented opener. Inspired by the iconic Civilian and built on the lightweight Endura 4 platform, this knife delivers extreme cutting performance in a compact, carry-friendly package.
As the knife is drawn from tip-up carry, the Emerson Opener catches the pocket’s edge and deploys the blade instantly—no need for manual opening. The FRN handle features Bi-Directional Texturing for grip, skeletonized stainless steel liners for strength, and a lockback mechanism for secure lockup. With a four-position clip and ambidextrous design, the Matriarch 2 is ready for anything.
