This appropriately-named folding knife, from innovative cutlery company Spyderco, has a hawkbill-shaped blade with a distinctive, claw-like tip. Based on knives used in commercial fishing, the blade's unique shape is ideal for downward, sweeping cutting performed at arm's length, and directed away from the body. Serrations across the entire cutting surface improve the blade's ability to slice through webbing and other fibrous material, and the hollow-ground blade offers jimping along the spine and choil for improved control. A black fiberglass is handle has a proprietary Bi-Directional Textured finish for nonslip precision, and nested inside are full-length, skeletonized steel liners, which increase rigidity and strength while keeping weight to a minimum. Screw-together construction is both durable and easy to clean and maintain. A four-way steel pocket clip and lanyard hole offer any number of carrying configurations. |
