Manufacturers Description:
Recently, James A.
Keating (a master at arms) came to Spyderco with an intriguing knife design in
hand. This design entered the Spyderco R&D Department where it underwent
various tweaks and refinements emerging as a new CLIPIT dubbed the C63 Chinook.
Keating's design is capable of handling a gamut of strenuous cutting chores.
Spyderco uses a lock-back with strength beyond industry standards.
Originally developed for Martial Bladecraft and tactical applications,
the Chinook effortlessly transforms into a field knife, filling the varied
requirements for a hard-use hunting/camp knife. The upswept modified Bowie-style
blade is made of CPM-440V steel and is 3 3/4 inches long with substantial belly
and breadth for skinning and field dressing. Included is a substantial pocket
clip for tip-down carry. Outdoor adventurers and extreme sportspeople take
notice.
This model has 3 Generations. There is a Chinook I, Chinook II and Chinook III.
