Spyderco Kapara Folding Knife Reviews

4.8 Rating 4 Reviews
Read Heinnie Haynes Reviews

The Spyderco Kapara is based on Australian custom knifemaker Alistair Phillips’ popular “Redback” folder design. Named after an Australian spider with a distinctive red stripe along the back of its abdomen, Spyderco’s Kapara (another name for the same redback spider) faithfully replicates Phillips’ distinctive style and craftsmanship, as well as the signature red backspacer of his custom knife.
Phillips originally created the Kapara as a personal carry knife to help him prepare healthy, vegetable-based meals. Its CPM S30V stainless steel blade is full-flat ground for exceptional edge geometry and has a fully accessible Trademark Round Hole for convenient one-handed opening with either hand. The gracefully styled handle has full, skeletonized stainless steel liners that provide structural strength and form the basis of the knife’s patented Compression Lock mechanism. They are capped by stunning solid carbon fiber scales that are precisely crowned to provide a secure, extremely comfortable grip. An index-finger choil at the base of the blade allows the user to choke up for enhanced control and helps draw attention to machined details on both sides of the blade’s pivot.
To keep the Kapara poised for instant access, it includes a reversible deep-pocket wire clip for left or right-side, tip-up carry and a generously sized lanyard hole for the easy attachment of fobs or lanyards.

Knives are built for one thing right? To cut. So, I shouldn't be suprised at the fact when one does ,right? Thing is, this blade cuts on a different level. It sails through anything you put in front of it ; food, cardboard, string, fingers. Just glance at her wrong and she may bite you. This beauty loves to slice. It's built for food prep . On the aesthetics though, this is a gorgeously turned out folder, impeccably finished by those in Taiwan,.and it really is a good looker with it's full milled carbon fiber scales and it's "Red back spider" back spacer. It's a pleasure to own .....just watch those fingers !

Lovely knife- smooth, sleek and lightweight. Perhaps not everybody's taste in blade shape but I love it's balance between handle and blade. Prepping lots of meals with it- the slenderness of the handle makes peeling potatoes a pleasure.

What can I say, Spyderco at they're best. Another beauty from theTaichung factory. Mine arrived absolutely perfect, maybe needed a little lube but wow. The action OOTB was analagous to a nicely broken in PM2/Caribbean hybrid. Fidget friendly and opens in a multitude of ways. The lock up is solid and does so with a satisfying clunk. Some say that the Spidey hole could have done with some chamforing but the sharp edge on the hole really does help when performing your flicks and will smooth out in time.What a cracker. Thanks HH
