The Spyderco Chokwe is another winner from the “ethnic” series that Spyderco is famous for.

Its is largely a modern interpretation of the classic every day knife of the common man in africa however unlike the basic carbon steel and wood handled originals the Spyderco Chokwe features the traditional shape with a nice choil, a really beautiful S30V blade, black G-10 scales on one side with a titanium framelock on the other.

A perfectly executed modern reinterpretation of a classical tool.

 

What I love about the Chokwe is the blade, its just pure utility! A wicked slicer with a really great tip for detail work, add to that the robust framelock and it just becomes a great edc/backup tactical folder!

 

Basic stats!

• S30V steel.
• Ti Framelock.
• G-10 Scales.
• 3 3/4 in. (95 mm) Blade length.
• Interesting history.
• Sexy sexy blade!

 

Knife number 6 tomorow will not be a Spyderco (gasp!).

A+
