Spyderco c170gp karahawk plain edge black g10 handle vg10 blade folding knife.

The Karahawk is a highly evolved folding version of the traditional Southeast Asian knife.  Its gently curved hawkbill blade is precision machined from VG-10 stainless steel and features both our Trademark Round Hole and an Emerson Opening Feature to ensure swift, positive blade deployment.  It is supported by a high-strength back lock mechanism designed to withstand the stresses of defensive use and mated to a handle constructed of full skeletonized stainless steel liners capped with textured G-10 scales.  The handle features a ring at the butt to facilitate traditional knife manipulation techniques and is sized to keep the knife exceptionally compact and easy to carry.  New and improved, the ring on the current version of the Karahawk is reinforced with a machined G-10 insert and its edges radiused and polished for high-speed manipulation. A reversible hourglass clip supports tip-up standard-grip and reverse-grip carry on both sides of the body.
