John Shirley's Review of Spyderco ARK Lightweight 2.56in Fixed Blade Knife

Fair disclosure: I am one of the knife designers. I believe Optics Planet is both under and over-selling this knife in the description, and I would like to give a more accurate description that might help potential buyers make a more informed choice. (If Optics Planet would like to use my description instead, you are welcome to.)

The ARK was designed to be a very compact and lightweight knife that deployed US service members could have on them at all times, even in the shower. It is made of completely rustproof H-1 steel. The handle is designed to give the best possible grip with a knife this short and flat. While primarily designed for self defense, the ARK's sweeping cutting edge makes it a very useful knife for most daily tasks.
