The heart of the Spyderco ARK (Always Ready Knife) is its deeply curved clip-point blade ground from H-1 steel that is completely immune to rust. 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.

Are these the new (retention sheath) ARKs?

Thank you for contacting Top Quality Knives. To address your question the answer is yes along with a little information below. Again thank you for contacting Top Quality Knives and your business would be very much appreciated.

The ARK™ Just Got Even Better

Inspired by the Japanese concept of kaizen (literally, “improvement”), Spyderco’s policy of Constant Quality Improvement (C.Q.I.) is an insatiable quest to make our products better. One of the most recent examples of that is the ARK, or “Always Ready Knife.” This ultra-compact fixed blade was originally conceived as a personal-defense knife that can be carried anywhere—even in the shower. As a neck knife, it is designed to be worn inverted around the neck, supported by a breakaway ball chain. In this position, it is instantly accessible for a quick draw and, unlike most other fixed blades, its carry is not dependent upon support from a belt or waistband.

Although the first-generation ARK sheath functioned well, to further increase retention during vigorous activity, we’ve redesigned it to incorporate an integral retention tab. This tab keeps the knife locked in the sheath during carry, yet can be quickly released with the index finger to facilitate a rapid draw. For joggers and other folks with active lifestyles, this ensures that the ARK will stay securely in place, while remaining quickly available when you need it most.

I'm the co-designer of the ARK, I just wanted to make sure that your ARKs were the ones with the 2nd Gen sheath, so I can point people looking for one your way.

I started a thread with more pics of the new retention sheath here.
