Spyderco Vallotton Lil’ Sub-Hilt Dual-Action Automatic Knife (3.125″ Satin)

This Spyderco Vallotton Sub-Hilt folder has been converted to a dual-action automatic by the Vallotton crew. It features a scale release and automatic action that is simply terrific!

The Spyderco Lil’ Sub-Hilt is a smaller version of the original design featuring the same superb fit and finish.

Butch Vallotton, like most knifemakers, started making knives as a hobby, had to start selling knives to pay for his hobby and before he knew it became a professional fulltime knifemaker in 1984 with a waiting list of customers at the age of thirty. A self-proclaimed gadget freak, a good part of his business comes from automatic knives and he is credited with inventing the ambidextrous blade thumb stud.

A long time fan of Italian-style, heavy-stock folders the Sub-Hilt bears an international flavor with a modified coffin-shaped handle of polished black G-10 with tongue-and-groove fitted stainless bolsters. Further complementing the handle is a Michael Walker LinerLock® a four-way: tip-up/tip-down, right- or left-handed steel clip and screw-together scale construction.
