The Spyderco Retract (Model: C276GP) is a high-performance folding knife designed by renowned bladesmith Ed Schempp, offering exceptional cutting capabilities in a compact package. Its most striking feature is the dramatically curved, full-flat-ground blade crafted from durable 9Cr18MoV stainless steel, which provides a keen edge and corrosion resistance. The recurved blade, reminiscent of a Nepalese kukri, is optimized for leverage and slicing efficiency, especially on draw cuts, making it ideal for tactical, outdoor, and everyday utility applications. The negative angle of the blade enhances cutting leverage, providing improved control and power during use.
Constructed with full skeletonized stainless steel liners and textured G-10 scales, the handle offers a sturdy yet lightweight grip. A partial G-10 backspacer adds to the structural integrity and aesthetic appeal. The knife features a reliable LinerLock mechanism that is machined nearly flush with the handle to prevent accidental closure, ensuring safety during operation. For convenient carry, the Retract includes a reversible deep-pocket wire clip suitable for left- or right-side tip-up carry, along with a lined lanyard hole for additional attachment options.
Measuring approximately 3.4 inches when closed, the Spyderco Retract balances portability with effective performance. Its sleek silver finish combined with black G-10 handle scales makes it suitable for a variety of settings, from outdoor adventures to everyday tasks. The knife is packaged in a box for secure storage and presentation, making it an excellent choice for collectors and users seeking a reliable, high-quality folding knife that blends innovative design with practical functionality.
