We see a lot of unique product names but the Spyderco Szabo folding knife gets its name not from some far off land, but rather its creator Laci Szabo, a law enforcement officer, a veteran U.S. Marine, and a word-class martial artist. The visionary knife designer created a folding blade that reflects his philosophies regarding folding knife design as it applies to both utility and personal defense. Its large size creates a commanding presence and offers increased reach when used with fencing-style skills.
The scimitar-shaped blade has a long, gently curving belly to maximize cutting power, while leaving the tip well centered to support point-oriented tactics. The handle is constructed of full stainless steel liners capped by black Cubic Check carbon fiber/G-10 laminate scales while the blade features a non-reflective titanium carbonitride coating. This year has seen the introduction of the all-new all-black edition that is better suited to tactical applications.
But you don’t need to be Special Forces to get your hands on one, and anyone in the field or camping can benefit from this lightweight and incredibly durable blade that promises to provide a secure, non-slip grip.
