Spyderco Kiwi™ 3 Stainless Steel Slip Joint* Archived Products

Kiwis Combine Everything Great About Traditional Old-World Non-Locking Penknives With Techno Twenty-First Century Performance Blade-Steel And Ergonomics.

Its Affable Two-Inch Long 8Cr13Mov Blade (Hollow Ground) Is A Classically-Shaped Wharncliffe With A Spyderco Round Hole Giving An Animalistic Appearance. Above The Hole Sits A Spine Cusp, Making A Slip-Resistant Site For Thumb Or Index Finger Placement Adding Precision And Control While Cutting. Classified As A Non-Locking Folder, The Kiwi Has A Slip-Joint Pivot That Generates Resistance To Closing, Keeping The Blade Safely Open When Used. Bitten Out Of The Handle’S Underbelly Are Two Deep-Cut Finger-Indentations. The First Positions The Index Finger In Line Behind The Cutting Edge And Doubles As A Stop, Keeping The Blade From Inadvertently Closing. The Second Indent (Cut Just Behind The First) Accommodates The Middle Finger. Both Indents Jog The Fingers To A Position On The Handle Offering Control, Dexterity And Conveying The Impression Of Gripping A Larger Knife.

Kiwi’S Stainless Handle Is Contoured And Chamfered For Pinch-Free Cutting. Handle Is Clipless With A Lanyard For Lacing A Thong Or Leather Strap.
