Spyderco MicroJimbo C264GPCBL 2.45″ CPM SPY27 Cobalt Blue G-10 Folding Knife

The Spyderco MicroJimbo C264GPCBL takes the distinctive design philosophy of Michael Janich’s larger Yojimbo family and scales it into a remarkably compact folding knife.

Built around a 2.45-inch CPM SPY27 stainless steel Wharncliffe blade, the MicroJimbo combines premium blade steel with cobalt blue G-10 handle scales, Spyderco’s Compression Lock® and signature Round Hole™ opening system.

Its short overall dimensions make it exceptionally easy to carry, while the straight-edged Wharncliffe blade provides excellent control for everyday cutting and detailed utility work.

CPM SPY27 Stainless Steel

One of the highlights of this MicroJimbo is its CPM SPY27 blade steel.

Developed in collaboration with Crucible Industries specifically for Spyderco, CPM SPY27 is a powder-metallurgy stainless steel designed to provide a balanced combination of edge performance, toughness and corrosion resistance.

Key characteristics include:

• Strong corrosion resistance
• Good edge retention
• Useful toughness
• Fine cutting performance
• Premium powder-metallurgy construction

The steel also has particular appeal among Spyderco enthusiasts because of its close association with the brand.

2.45-Inch Wharncliffe Blade

The MicroJimbo features a compact 2.45-inch Wharncliffe blade.

Unlike a conventional drop-point blade with a curved cutting edge, the Wharncliffe profile emphasizes a relatively straight cutting surface and a sharply defined point.

This geometry provides excellent control during precision cuts and makes efficient use of the MicroJimbo’s relatively short blade length.

The design works particularly well for everyday tasks such as:

• Opening packages
• Cutting tape
• Breaking down cardboard
• Cutting cord
• Detail work
• General utility cutting
• Satin Blade Finish

The CPM SPY27 blade features a clean satin finish, providing a traditional appearance that contrasts nicely with the MicroJimbo’s vibrant cobalt blue handle.

The finish highlights the distinctive geometry of the Wharncliffe blade without adding unnecessary visual complexity.

Plain-Edge Cutting Performance

This MicroJimbo features a plain cutting edge, providing a continuous cutting surface from heel to tip.

Combined with the Wharncliffe geometry, the straight plain edge provides excellent control when making clean, deliberate cuts through everyday materials.

It is also straightforward to sharpen and maintain compared with more specialized serrated edge configurations.

Cobalt Blue G-10 Handle

The cobalt blue G-10 handle is one of the most visually distinctive elements of the C264GPCBL.

G-10 is a fiberglass-based laminate widely used in premium folding knives because of its combination of:

• Excellent strength
• Dimensional stability
• Moisture resistance
• Secure grip characteristics
• Long-term durability

The textured scales provide positive traction while the cobalt blue color gives this MicroJimbo a bold appearance that immediately separates it from traditional black-handled EDC knives.

Compression Lock®

The MicroJimbo incorporates Spyderco’s highly regarded Compression Lock®.

Located along the spine of the handle, the mechanism provides secure blade lockup while allowing the lock to be released without placing the user’s fingers directly in the blade’s closing path.

The Compression Lock provides sophisticated mechanical performance without requiring Spyderco to dramatically increase the knife’s overall dimensions.

Signature Spyderco Round Hole™

The blade incorporates Spyderco’s iconic Round Hole™ opening system.

Instead of using a conventional thumb stud, the opening hole provides an intuitive interface for blade manipulation while maintaining the unmistakable Spyderco profile.

Despite the MicroJimbo’s compact dimensions, the Round Hole remains a prominent and functional part of the design.

Designed by Michael Janich

The MicroJimbo was designed by Michael Janich, whose collaborations with Spyderco have produced several of the company’s most distinctive Wharncliffe-based folding knives.

The MicroJimbo scales the concept into a significantly smaller package while preserving the recognizable blade geometry and ergonomic philosophy associated with the larger designs.

The result is a knife that looks unmistakably related to the Yojimbo family without simply feeling like someone hit “75% scale” on the photocopier.

Compact Everyday Carry

At just 2.45 inches of blade length, the MicroJimbo is considerably more compact than many mainstream Spyderco folders.

That makes it particularly appealing for users who want legitimate cutting capability without dedicating substantial pocket space to a larger knife.

Its combination of compact dimensions, G-10 construction and efficient Wharncliffe geometry creates an excellent platform for everyday utility.

Distinctive Premium Spyderco EDC

The Spyderco MicroJimbo C264GPCBL combines premium materials, compact dimensions and unmistakable Michael Janich styling in a highly distinctive folding knife.

Its 2.45-inch satin CPM SPY27 Wharncliffe blade, cobalt blue G-10 handle, Compression Lock and Round Hole opener create a compact folder with excellent cutting control and serious collector appeal.

For buyers searching for a Spyderco MicroJimbo CPM SPY27 Cobalt Blue G-10 knife, the C264GPCBL delivers premium Spyderco materials and distinctive Wharncliffe performance in an exceptionally portable package.
