SPYDERCO C242CFP IKUCHI FOLDING KNIFE – CPM S30V STEEL – COMPRESSION LOCK – MADE IN TAIWAN – PLAIN EDGE CARBON FIBER/G-10 HANDLE
Spyderco Ikuchi CPM S30V – Ultra-Slim, Mechanically Refined
Designed by mechanical engineer and custom knifemaker Paul Alexander, the Spyderco Ikuchi reimagines the modern folder with minimalist elegance and cutting-edge mechanics. Its slim, open-backed handle houses a full-flat-ground CPM S30V blade that deploys via a unique tang flipper—no protruding tab, just a smooth stroke of the thumb or index finger.
The carbon fiber/G-10 laminate scales are paired with skeletonized stainless steel liners for strength without bulk, while Spyderco’s patented Compression Lock™ ensures secure, one-handed lockup. A reversible deep-carry wire clip rounds out this sleek EDC, offering discreet, ambidextrous tip-up carry in a package that’s as refined as it is functional.
