Spyderco C242CFP Ikuchi S/E Folding Knife Black – Satin

The Spyderco C242CFP Ikuchi is an ultra thin, manual folding knife that was designed with a radically different approach to pocketknife form and function. Designed by Paul Alexander, a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering and a lifelong knife enthusiast, the Ikuchi (pronounced ee-koo-chee and named after a mythical Japanese sea monster) has an elegantly curved handle crafted with full, skeletonized stainless steel liners and stunning carbon fiber/G-10 laminate scales.

In the closed position, the handle’s narrow, open backed profile completely contains the knife’s blade, except for a small textured section of the tang that serves as a flipper opener. Stroking this section of the blade with an index finger or thumb provides leverage to swiftly pivot it into the open position, where it locks securely via the compression lock mechanism. The satin finished CPM S30V stainless steel blade is full flat ground for exceptional edge geometry and cutting performance and has an acute, scalpel like point for detailed work.

To ensure discreet carry while keeping the Ikuchi instantly accessible, its handle includes a low profile, deep pocket wire clip that is reversible for left or right side tip up carry.
