SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Southern Grind Spider Monkey Natural Micarta Plain Satin Tanto is built for those who expect performance, reliability, and American craftsmanship in their everyday carry. This compact, hardworking folder features a 3.25-inch CPM S35VN stainless steel tanto blade—known for its exceptional edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness. Finished with a clean satin polish, the blade offers a sleek look that’s just as functional as it is attractive. Whether you’re opening packages, tackling camp chores, or managing daily cutting tasks, the Spider Monkey’s tanto tip delivers a strong point for piercing with excellent edge geometry for slicing.
This manual folder opens smoothly using ambidextrous thumb studs, making it accessible for both left- and right-handed users. A rock-solid linerlock mechanism keeps the blade securely in place while in use, so you can work with confidence. Built into a rugged yet comfortable natural Micarta handle, this knife offers a grippy, organic feel that only improves with age and use. The Micarta scales provide excellent traction in all conditions, dry or wet, without adding unnecessary weight.
At just 3.2 ounces, the Spider Monkey disappears in your pocket while still packing the toughness and utility you’d expect from a full-size blade. With a closed length of 4.19 inches and an overall length of 7.44 inches, it strikes the perfect balance between compact size and functional reach. The blade thickness of .13 inches ensures a stout profile that can handle real work without hesitation.
Additional features include a tip-up pocket clip for convenient everyday carry and a lanyard hole for personalized attachment or additional retention options. Whether clipped to your pocket or secured with paracord, this knife stays ready for whatever the day throws at you.
