Spyderco Kiwi3 Stainless Steel PlainEdge Knife
The Spyderco Kiwi3 combines everything that's great about traditional old-world non-locking penknives with the technology of high-performing 21st-century blades. The Kiwi3 is equipped with an affable 2-inch 8Cr13MoV hollow-ground steel blade in a classically shaped Wharncliffe design, with a Spyderco round hole that makes the knife look almost bird-like. Above the hole sits a spine cusp, giving you a slip-resistant spot to place your thumb or index finger to increase precision and control while you cut.Classified as a non-locking folding knife, the Kiwi3 features a slip-joint pivot that resists closing, keeping the knife blade safely open while in use. Spyderco also added two deep-cut finger indentations in the handle's underbelly. The first positions the index finger in line behind the cutting edge. By acting as a stop, your finger keeps the blade from inadvertently closing. The second indent--cut just behind the first--accommodates the middle finger. Both indents improve your control and dexterity while gripping the knife. Finally, the Kiwi3 includes a stainless handle that's contoured and chamfered for pinch-free cutting. The handle is clipless with a lanyard for lacing a thong or leather strap.SpecificationsBlade: 8Cr13MoV steelHandle: Stainless steelHole diameter: 0.375 inchesBlade length: 2.438 inchesCutting edge: 2 inchesBlade thickness: 0.093 inchesClosed length: 3.313 inchesOpen length: 5.625 inchesWeight: 1.75 ounces
