Description: The 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 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.This knife is a Spyderco Factory Second because some aspect of it didn't meet Spyderco's very stringent quality-control standards. While this flaw(s) may affect the product’s appearance, most are imperceptible and they do not compromise its proper mechanical operation. Regardless of the specific reason a knife is declared a second, it remains safe for normal use. To clearly differentiate Factory Seconds from Firsts, they are all marked with a small nick on the spine of the blade near the handle on the right side (See Photos). Factory Seconds are not sold with boxes or paperwork. However, if you're the type that plans to use your knives then Factory Seconds are the right option for you. You'll get all the same performance as a first but at a much lower price. I purchased this knife new at the Spyderco factory in Golden Colorado during the OpFocus (Military and First Responders Only) Factory Seconds sale on 6/23/24. If you have questions, don't hesitate to reach out.
