A pollywog represents metamorphosis in the animal kingdom, adapting and changing its form to survive in its environment. The same principle applies here. The Spyderco Poliwog CLIPIT® thrives in a small-knife-friendly environment while keeping the features necessary to excel in a harsh, heavy cutting and performance setting. Its distinctive opened-ended Ball Bearing Lock™ exposes the knife's inner workings for easy cleaning and rates as one of Spyderco's highest strength locking mechanisms. Pulling back on the ball unlocks the blade ambidextrously from either side of the knife.

The hand settles on the curved handle positioning the index finger into a choil that optimizes control and generates less fatigue and pressure on the hand during cutting. Made from VG-10, the blade has a hollow-ground edge with a weight reducing swedge-grind extending mid-spine to the tip. It is available in PlainEdge. Its ambidextrous wire-tension pocket clip sets the Poliwog tip-up in the pocket.

Designer Notes

Michael Walker is to the knife industry what Michael Jordan is to basketball or Wayne Gretsky is to field hockey. He shattered established standards, jumping into uncharted territory and elevating the art of cutlery to greater heights of innovation and modernity.

In 1980, the folding knife industry had few locking innovations and only the traditional Back Lock existed. In 1981 Walker invented, developed and eventually trademarked the Michael Walker LinerLock® adding a leaf spring that locked the blade open, making it a true one-handed openable folding knife. He also included a latch to hold the blade closed using the force of the inner folder spring so it wouldn't open in a pocket to the user.

This innovation of his opened the door to modern cutlery, allowing for multiple new designs and future developments up to today's SubFrame Lock, Frame Lock, Flipper Folder and IKBS ball bearing opening systems.

Other inventions include the "Lake and Walker Safety System" or LAWKS, BLADELock, Ball bearing lock, and Tough Lock.

Some of the manufacturing companies he has worked with include Spyderco, Columbia River Knife and Tool, Schrade, Böker, and Klotzli.

Walker's knives and designs have inspired many other custom knife makers, most notably Bob Terzuola and Ernest Emerson. Terzuola credits Walker with teaching him how to make a linerlock folder and Emerson said that seeing a Walker knife at a gun show gave him the inspiration to become a knifemaker.

Walker's knives can be found at the Artifex Gallery in Taos and in most prestigious collections around the world.
