SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Spyderco ARK (Always Ready Knife) Fixed Blade Knife Black FRN is a masterclass in lightweight, tactical design, making it an essential tool for those who demand reliability in extreme conditions. This knife is engineered for those who need a dependable blade that can be carried discreetly and accessed quickly, whether you're in the wilderness or on duty.
The ARK features a 2.56" H-1 stainless steel clip point blade with a satin finish, a combination that ensures both corrosion resistance and razor-sharp performance. The H-1 steel is nitrogen-based, making it virtually rustproof and ideal for use in wet or humid environments. The clip point design provides a fine tip for precision tasks, while the serrated edge ensures it can handle tougher materials with ease.
The knife's hidden tang is encased in a black fiberglass-reinforced nylon (FRN) handle, known for its strength and durability despite its minimal weight. The ergonomic design of the handle ensures a secure grip even in adverse conditions, and the lanyard hole offers additional versatility for carrying options.
At just 4.98" overall and weighing a mere 0.9 oz, the ARK is incredibly light and easy to carry. The included black injection-molded polymer neck sheath with a breakaway ball chain makes it an ideal neck knife, providing quick access without sacrificing safety. The sheath is designed to be worn comfortably under clothing, making it nearly invisible until needed.
Spyderco’s attention to detail shines through in every aspect of the ARK’s design, from the blade's performance-oriented geometry to the practical, lightweight handle and sheath. This knife isn't just a tool—it's a reliable companion, ready to perform whenever you need it most. Order it today from Smoky Mountain Knife Works!
