Australian custom knifemaker Alistair Phillips specializes in slim, pocket friendly folders that blend classic styling with modern materials. Based on his custom “Redback” design, the Spyderco Kapara™ faithfully captures his unique style and craftsmanship. Its CPM® S30V® stainless steel blade is full-flat ground for exceptional edge geometry and is paired with a handle featuring full, skeletonized stainless steel liners, a high strength Compression Lock® mechanism, and beautifully contoured solid carbon fiber scales. A contrasting red G-10 backspacer creates a visual accent symbolic of the knife’s original name, while a reversible deep-pocket wire clip offers discreet left or right-side, tip-up carry.
