Not a cheap knife! - Ordered this knife Saturday, received it Monday. I've owned Spyderco knives since the early 80s and I own over a dozen of them. Most of my earlier Spydercos were made either in Colorado or Seki, Japan, but many of my later, less expensive knives are from China. Regardless, they still maintain an edge (I only use the Spyderco triangle system on all of my good knives) and the fit and finish is great. This knife is no exception. I've been looking for a smallish, fixed blade edc that I could carry a number of ways, so I opted for this knife. Mine came sharp enough to shave and the fit and finish was as good as my more expensive knives. My only complaint is that the kydex sheath is very tight and putting the knife in and withdrawing it were very difficult and not conducive to quick deployment. Luckily, I work with kydex, so a hairdryer and a few minutes solved the problem. I'd like to take a moment to address some comments by other purchasers who said the knife looked or felt "cheap" or that because it was made in Taiwan, it was cheap. First, maybe they got a defect, as I said, mine was close to perfect. Yes, the blade is thinner than that of the Yojimbo, but it was done to reduce weight because it's a full tang knife. It's in no way an overly thin blade. This blade was meant for self defense, not hunting or bushcraft usage. Second, the Spyderco factory in Taiwan makes excellent blades. Taiwan is not China! I also own the Techno, a $300 knife at one time, made from fine, powdered steel...in Taiwan. The Taipei factory is on a par with either of the Colorado or Seki plants and a search of knife forums will confirm this. Overall I expect this knife to perform as well as my other Spydercos. If not, I'll did an update! Review: Quickly became my favorite EDC knife. - Love it. Took me a long time to find the “right” kind of fixed blade that I wanted to carry, I’ve always carried a folder but wanted something small, light, tactical but still utilitarian, intimidating but friendly, non threatening looking, etc to compliment the folder..and I most definitely found all of it with the Ronin 2. Excellent craftsmanship, tough steel (you’ll see what i mean when you sharpen it), comes scary sharp out of the box. Tip looks frail-ish but trust me, it isn’t, nor is the sheath as some reviews have stated. The handle is a bit small but I believe it was designed this way, there’s no doubt that this knife was designed with self defense in mind. Despite having the typically slippery-ish G-10 handle, the ergonomics of this knife (for me) seem to contour to the hand, resulting in a rock solid grip and a feeling of confidence in a scary situation. I can’t stress how light this thing is, it’s lighter than my iphone. Very well balanced. In certain carry positions (such as scout), you’ll completely forget it’s there. Super easy to conceal for a fixed blade, the whole thing in the sheath (which is also great and holds the knife well, if you dont push the knife in far enough it can appear small but it isnt), can easily disappear into the pocket of your jeans if you don’t want it on your belt. Very sleek, not thick whatsoever as you can see in the pics! One of my favorite knives of all time now, and by far my favorite thus far from spyderco. Grab one, you’ll love it! ## Features - Reliable High Performance: Spyderco fixed blade knives offer the same performance you expect from our ground-breaking folding knives.

Retention could be an issue, too. If you know how to make your own kydex sheaths you might be able to custom make something that would work, but as is you might not like that method of carry. **Q: is the ronin 2 a flat or hollow grind?** A: It is flat ground and very sharp. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good blade.

It should be said though, that this is not meant to be a utility knife, for everyday use. The tip of the blade is thin and sharp, and meant for slashing. It is not meant to bee used in any way for prying or any hard use. Regardless of where it was made, this knife has the feel and function of a well designed and built quality knife. The grind on the blade was even and equal on both sides, the sharpness is more than adequate for a factory produced blade. Overall fit and finish is perfect. Only issue I had with the whole package, was the sheath, Kydex or whatever it is. The blade would not fit into it easily or without tremendous force. I had to shave the edge where the sharp side of the blade makes contact with the sheath, with a razor blade. Once I got that shaped correctly, so the blade could be inserted with one hand yet still have more than enough retention on the blade, it was perfect. I now carry this knife with me everyday. In fact I like the belt clip on this sheath so much, that I purchased another Spyderco belt clip to use on my Kershaw Skyline fixed blade, which surprisingly came with the sheath, but without a clip. I have wanted to buy this knife for over a year, but when in saw the price was lower than the past (apparently many spydies were on sale) I finally broke down and got one. So glad that I did. ## Frequently Bought Together - Spyderco Ronin 2 Fixed Blade Knife with 4.08" CTS BD1 Stainless Steel Blade and Premium Custom-Molded Boltaron Sheath - PlainEdge - FB09GP2 - UltiClip Slim 3.3 - Ulticlip 3+ --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/17165827-ronin-2-fixed-blade-knife-plainedge-7-84-overall-length](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/17165827-ronin-2-fixed-blade-knife-plainedge-7-84-overall-length) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-07-04*
