Spyderco – SC242CFP – Ikuchi Compression Lock – Folding Knife – CPM-S30V Satin Upswept – Carbon Fiber G10 – Black

Crafted with meticulous attention to detail by renowned designer Paul Alexander, the Spyderco Ikuchi (pronounced ee-koo-chee) represents a paradigm shift in pocketknife design. As a Ph.D. holder in Mechanical Engineering and a lifelong knife enthusiast, Alexander brings a unique blend of technical expertise and passion to this masterpiece. The Ikuchi’s handle boasts an elegant curve, constructed with full, skeletonized stainless steel liners and adorned with carbon fiber/G10 laminate scales, ensuring both durability and sophistication. In its closed position, the Ikuchi presents a slim, open-backed profile that fully encases the blade, save for a strategically textured section of the tang functioning as a flipper opener. With a simple stroke of your index finger or thumb, the full-flat-ground CPM-S30V stainless steel blade springs into action, locking securely via Spyderco’s patented Compression Lock mechanism. Furthermore, the reversible deep-pocket wire clip offers versatile and discreet tip-up carry options, accommodating both left and right-handed users with ease.
