Spyderco Farid Mehr is a British custom knifemaker best known for his heavy-duty, hard-use knives. His first collaboration with Spyderco, the K2, is a generously sized folding knife that definitely supports the designers reputation. Just shy of 10 inches (254mm) overall, it features a 4.53-inch (115mm) blade ground from CPM® 10V®the first high-vanadium tool steel made using Crucible® steels Powder Metallurgy process. CPM 10Vs toughness and machining characteristics are comparable to D2 and M2, but its impressive 9.75% vanadium content gives it extreme wear resistance. In a knife blade, this translates to superior edge retentiona highly desirable quality for a hard-use folder.
To balance the strength of its broad Bowie-style blade, the K2 features a full-flat grind that tapers over its entire width to a keen PlainEdge cutting edge. The blades spine is also precisely radiused near the handle to provide a comfortable bearing point for the thumb and a Trademark Round Hole ensures positive one-handed opening.
The K2s handle is also a study in strength. It consists of two extremely stout scales machined from solid titanium. The reverse scale forms the foundation of the knifes sturdy Reeve Integral Lock (R.I.L.) and faithfully includes Farids signature serpentine cut on the lock bar. A stainless steel pocket clip attached near the pivot pin supports convenient right-side, tip-down carry.
Spydercos K2 combines the durability and heft that characterize Farid Mehrs custom knives with the refined details that define Spydercos commitment to reliable high performance.
