Spyderco Kapara

Spyderco Kapara

  • slim EDC pocket knife with compression lock
  • Design by Alistair Philips
  • Carbon fiber handle and CPM S30V blade

Foldable kitchen helper
The Spyderco Kapara is a design by Australian knifemaker and designer Alistair Phillips. The idea behind this slim clunker was to build a knife that was a good EDC size on the one hand, but also cut really well and could be used primarily in the kitchen.

While Phillips is by no means a vegetarian, he had primarily cutting fruits and vegetables in mind when designing the Kapara. This consideration pays off completely: first of all, there is the slim but nevertheless very well in hand handle with a 3D milled carbon scales. Accessible on the back of the handle sits Spyderco's famous Compression Lock closure, which is considered one of the safest locking systems around and is very easy to use thanks to its position. In reference to the red-backed spider (Kapara Spider) native to Australia, the knife was given a red backspacer made of G10, which makes for a visual eye-catcher.

The blade is - typical for Spyderco - made of CPM-S30V steel, which is not only very resistant to rust and fruit acid, but also keeps the sharpness for a long time. So that the knife is easy to clean, a grippy jimping was deliberately omitted. Instead of ball bearings, phosphor bronze washers were installed for the same reason, which are also very easy to clean. A small feature is that the Kapara is equipped with a bushingsystem, similar to the Chris Reeve Sebenza. Here, the blade does not just run on an axle, but on a bushing, which provides for an improved and smoother blade run.

The fully raised flat grind provides excellent cutting properties that ensure effortless work, not only in the kitchen. Spyderco and Alistair Phillips have delivered here together with the manufacturing plant in Taiwan an incredibly good, very high quality pocket knife, which knows how to fully convince in everyday use. Thanks to the convertible wire clip, the 96 gram knife disappears discreetly in the pocket and thus hardly wears on.

Warn-/Sicherheitshinweis:

Schnittverletzungen: Die häufigste Gefahr bei der Verwendung von Messern ist das Risiko von Schnittverletzungen. 

Scharfe Klingen können schnell durch Haut und Gewebe dringen. Abrutschen des Messers: Ein unsachgemäßes oder zu starkes Drücken kann dazu führen, dass das Messer abrutscht und unkontrollierte Bewegungen entstehen, die Verletzungen verursachen können. Verletzungen durch 
Stürze: Messer sollten niemals ungesichert oder in der Nähe von Tischkanten abgelegt werden, um zu verhindern, dass sie herunterfallen und jemanden verletzen. 

Stumpfe Messer: Stumpfe Messer stellen ein größeres Verletzungsrisiko dar, da sie mehr Kraft erfordern und leichter abrutschen können. Messer sollten daher regelmäßig sachgemäß nachgeschärft werden. 
Nicht bestimmungsgemäße Nutzung: Das Verwenden eines Messers für Aufgaben, für die es nicht vorgesehen ist (z.B. als Hebelwerkzeug), kann nicht nur die Klinge beschädigen, sondern auch zu Unfällen führen.
