The Yojimbo 2 is an updated version of the original Spyderco Yojimbo design, which was created by renowned personal-defense trainer Michael Janich. The original design introduced the Wharncliffe blade to tactical folders. Janich's evolved design includes refined ergonomics that complement the natural contours of the hand, ensuring maximum surface contact and positive control. The design also encourages a thumb-forward grip, which makes the 3-1/4-inch CPM S30V blade a natural extension of the hand.

The hollow-ground blade features a PlainEdge straight cutting edge, which allows for extreme cutting performance by transferring power all the way to the tip and provides improved point strength. The knife's high-strength Compression Lock® mechanism is supported by nested stainless steel liners, which provide structural strength and form the backbone of the knife.

To ensure a non-slip grip, the Yojimbo 2 features textured G-10 scales, and a four-position clip allows for rapid deployment from all carry positions.
