Spyderco K14PRD Z-Cut Pointed 4.40″ Fixed Plain Stonewashed CTS BD1N SS Blade, Red Textured Polypropylene Handle

Description

The Spyderco Z-Cut Pointed features a 4.40" CTS BD1N stainless blade, plain edge.

The blade is CTS BD1N SS, a fine-grained American stainless that sharpens quickly and takes a keen edge. Stainless scales are durable and easy to clean, though heavier than polymer.

A fixed blade of this size suits hunting, camp and outdoor work where strength matters more than pocketability – there is no pivot to fail and it cleans easily.

Carry laws are set locally as well as by state, and a 4.4" blade is legal to carry in many places and not in others – check your state and city rules before you carry it. Knives ship directly to you with no FFL transfer and no background check, unlike a firearm. Keep the blade dry and the pivot clean, and touch the edge up on a strop or fine stone before it gets properly dull – it is far less work than bringing back a blunt edge.

Easily recognizable by their Z-shaped profiles, Spydercos USA-Made Z-Cut series elevates the time-tested concept of the "offset" knife to all-new levels of quality and performance. Offset kitchen knives are unique because their handles are above the level of the blade instead of in line with it. Like a classic chef's knife, this aligns the blade's edge with the finger knuckles while providing ample clearance for them when working on a cutting board. Unlike a chef's knife, however, offset knives are much smaller and lighter. The pointed version of Spyderco's Z-Cut knife combines all the advantages of an offset design with an acute point that is for detailed cutting tasks. Pointed Z-Cuts feature corrosion-resistant CTS BD1N stainless steel blades with PlainEdge cutting edges. Their ergonomic polypropylene handles are injection molded directly onto the blade tangs.
