Spyderco Retract - Black G-10

9Cr18MoV Liner Lock with G-10 Handle

The Spyderco Retract is a dynamic folding knife designed by custom knifemaker Ed Schempp. Its distinctive recurve blade and full-flat grind make it ideal for users who need exceptional cutting performance in a compact package. The Retract is well-suited for tactical, utility, and aggressive cutting tasks, drawing inspiration from traditional Nepalese kukris.

Blade

The 3.4" recurve blade is crafted from 9Cr18MoV stainless steel with a full-flat grind. This steel offers good edge retention and corrosion resistance, while the recurve profile increases effective cutting length and excels at draw cuts. The blade's unique shape pulls material into the edge, enhancing slicing ability.

Handle

The handle features full skeletonized stainless steel liners and peel-ply-textured G-10 scales. G-10 is a fiberglass laminate known for its durability and grip. The partial G-10 backspacer adds balance and visual appeal. The knife weighs 4.2oz, making it lightweight for its size.

Carry

The Retract uses a LinerLock mechanism, which is machined nearly flush to prevent unintentional closure. The deep-pocket wire clip is reversible for left- or right-side tip-up carry, ensuring low-profile carry and immediate access.
