Spyderco: Kapara Carbon Fiber - Compression Lock - CPM-S30V - C241CF

The Spyderco Kapara, designed in cooperation with Australian knifemaker Alistair Philips, is named after the Australian Redback spider. A practical every day carry knife, the Kapara’s main function comes from the need to tackle food prep. Its design is the direct result of Philips’s Redback folder, a knife he designed and made by hand as a practical EDC knife, made for peeling and cutting fruits and vegetables in any setting, including the office.

The Kapara’s blade is CPM S30V steel, thin enough to make cutting and peeling easy. At 3.59” long, the blade is designed to cut most types of fruit in half easily. The Kapara has a compression lock located at the spine of the handle, designed so that food is not caught in the locking mechanism during use. The handle of this knife is fashioned from carbon fiber and has been enhanced with a finger groove to support precise cutting tasks. The Kapara has Spyderco’s famous wire clip, which is a slim, solid pocket clip designed to fit with the lines of the knife handle. It allows the user to carry this knife with minimal exposure and keeps the weight down as well.
