Serious Steel for Serious Users
At the heart of the knife is REX45® an ultra-hard powdered tool steel originally developed for industrial applications, prized for its extraordinary wear resistance and edge life. Spyderco is one of the very few manufacturers to have successfully mastered the machining and heat treatment of this demanding alloy. The full-flat-ground, leaf-shaped blade maximises REX45s strengths, offering great edge retention, toughness, precise point control and low-friction cutting performance. It is secured by Spyderco’s patented Ball Bearing Lock™, which provides outstanding strength while allowing safe, one-handed operation with fingers kept clear of the edge. Completing the package is an ultra-light, FRCP handle with Bi-Directional Texture™, plus a reversible wire clip for fully ambidextrous tip-up carry — a purpose-built workhorse with serious long-term appeal.
