The Spydiechef is a refined folding knife that takes the user-friendly ergonomics and balance of a world-class chef's knife and translates them into an all-purpose, everyday-carry folder that is impervious to the elements. A member of Spyderco's Salt Series of ultra-corrosion-resistant knives, the Spydiechef features a gracefully curved blade crafted from LC200N. The nitrogen-based alloy is extremely corrosion resistant and is actually used by NASA for the ball bearings used in aerospace applications. The blades broad profile and full-flat grind create exceptional edge geometry that ensures precise, low-friction cutting performance. The Spydiechef features an open-backed handle constructed with two precision-machined solid titanium scales. The reverse-side scale houses a stout Reeve Integral Lock (R.I.L.) mechanism that locks the blade firmly open when in use. For additional security when working around water, the handle also includes a lined lanyard hole for easy attachment of safety lines and lanyards and a reversible deep-pocket wire clip for convenient, ambidextrous carry and quick tip-up access.
