Spyderco Knife
C251CFP Watu
The Watu's iconic clip-point blade is crafted from CPM 20CV, a high-chromium, vanadium-enriched, particle metallurgy steel that offers an excellent balance of edge holding and corrosion resistance. Its full-flat grind and nearly straight edge give it exceptional edge geometry and point utility, while its fully accessible Trademark Round Hole allows convenient one-handed opening with either hand.
The coffin-shaped handle profile and two large holes of the traditional Chokwe fixed blade allowed it to be securely lashed to a pole to fashion a makeshift spear. The Watu's handle retains these classic design features but expresses them with high-tech materials and flawless workmanship. Its full stainless steel liners provide structural strength while allowing a lightweight, easy-to-clean, open-backed construction. They also serve as the foundation of the knife's high-strength Compression Lock mechanism, which locks the blade securely open in use and allows it to be safely closed with only one hand. The liners are capped with stunning carbon fiber/G10 laminate scales that have a subtle peel-ply texture to enhance grip security. To allow discreet, convenient carry while keeping the Watu instantly accessible for use, its handle also includes a deep-pocket wire clip that is reversible for left or right-side, tip-up carry.
