78 Flippers Edge Length 3.18 in 81 mm Blade Length 3.26 in 83 mm Made in Taiwan Closed 4.35 in 110 mm Lock Compression Lock Weight 2.4 oz 68 g Blade Thickness 0.098 in 2.5 mm Steel CPM S30V Grind Full-Flat Edge Configuration PlainEdge Carry Options Ikuchi™ C242CFP Hole Diameter 0.22 in 5.6 mm Overall Length 7.61 in 193 mm Handle Carbon Fiber/ G-10 Laminate Designed by Paul Alexander, a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering and a lifelong knife enthusiast, the Ikuchi (pronounced ee-koo-chee; a mythical Japanese sea monster) is a thoroughly different approach to pocketknife form and function. Its elegantly curved handle is crafted with full, skeletonized stainless steel liners and carbon fiber/G-10 laminate scales. In the closed position, the handle’s slim, open-backed profile completely contains the knife’s blade—except for a small textured section of the tang that serves as a flipper opener. With a stroke of an index finger or thumb, the full-flat-ground CPM S30V stainless steel blade opens and locks securely via Spyderco’s patented Compression Lock mechanism. A reversible deep-pocket wire clip completes the package, providing discreet, left or right-side tip-up carry.
