Introducing the Spyderco Karahawk Knives – a perfect blend of tradition and innovation. These knives are inspired by the iconic Southeast Asian karambit, a formidable weapon and tool used for centuries. Spyderco has transformed this traditional design into a modern folding knife with unique features that make it highly versatile and convenient for everyday carry.

The Spyderco Karahawk is designed by Ernest Emerson, a well-known figure in the knife industry. The collaboration with Spyderco brings forward a knife that combines the best of both worlds – Emerson's design prowess and Spyderco's manufacturing excellence.

One of the standout models in the Karahawk series is the Spyderco SPY-C170GBBKP Karahawk. This knife features a 2.25" black TiCN coated VG-10 stainless hawkbill blade. VG-10 is a high-carbon stainless steel that offers exceptional edge retention, sharpness, and corrosion resistance. The black TiCN coating enhances the blade's durability and reduces reflections, making it ideal for tactical use.

The blade's hawkbill shape allows for efficient slicing and cutting, especially on curved surfaces. The Karahawk's blade is easily deployable with one hand, thanks to the thumb pull. The knife's design incorporates Spyderco's trademark Round Hole, which facilitates smooth and quick opening.

The handle of the SPY-C170GBBKP Karahawk is made from black textured G10, a high-pressure fiberglass laminate that is both lightweight and durable. The handle's texture provides a secure grip, ensuring that the knife won't slip from your hand even in wet or slippery conditions. The ergonomic design of the handle makes it comfortable to hold, and the finger ring at the end of the handle allows for various grip options and enhances control.

The Karahawk features a pocket clip, making it easy to carry and access. It also incorporates a sturdy back lock mechanism that ensures the blade stays securely locked in place during use, providing confidence and safety.

Made in Japan, the Spyderco Karahawk knives exemplify the precision and attention to detail that Japanese craftsmanship is known for. Each knife comes boxed, making it an excellent gift for knife enthusiasts and collectors alike.

Whether you're looking for a reliable everyday carry, a versatile tool for self-defense, or a unique addition to your knife collection, the Spyderco Karahawk series is a top choice. Its combination of traditional design, modern features, and high-quality materials make it a standout in the world of folding knives.
