Kapara. yes - Spyderco Kapara

Functionality and beauty are in perfect balance in this amazing design. An elegant looking carbon fibre handle hides a relatively long slicer that can be flicked open instantly with ease. Thanks to the compression lock the blade just drops shut as quickly and easily as it opens - while the fingers are savely out of the way. I also love the pocket friendly shape, the wire clip and the weight.

Compared to other popular Spydercos this seems more like high-end pocket jewellery and less like a form follows function hard use tool. There is no jimping for extra grip and the CF feels very smooth, so I'd rather take my PM2 into the woods for example. But it's nice to know that the Kapara could handle all the abuse that I would ever put a folder through.

The people at Spyderco's Taichung plant have really outdone themselves this time, churning out production knives in custom knife quality, which makes the price a lot more justified.
