Spyderco FB35PBK ARK S/E Fixed Blade Knife Black – Satin

The Spyderco FB35PBK ARK is a fixed blade knife that was designed to be an “Always Ready Knife”. It is a purpose designed personal defense knife conceived by U.S. Army combat veteran John Shirley and his friend Sam Owens. Drawing from his knowledge of the Japanese martial arts and with the help of Owen’s skills as a craftsman, they developed the ARK as a lightweight self defense tool that can literally be carried anywhere.

The heart of the ARK is its deeply curved slip point blade ground from H-1 steel, a nitrogen based alloy that is extremely corrosion resistant. The curved edge packs impressive cutting power into the compact blade and the clip point profile ensures a strong, extremely sharp point. The ARK’s fiberglass reinforced nylon (FRN) handle is molded directly onto the tang and features Spyderco’s proven Bi-Directional Texturing pattern and an index finger groove to guarantee a secure grip, even with wet hands.

To ensure universal carry, the ARK includes an injection molded polymer neck sheath with a breakaway ball chain. Best of all, at the ARK and its sheath together weigh only 2.0 ounces (57 grams), so you’ll hardly know it’s there, until you need it.
