Farid Mehr is a British custom knifemaker best known for his heavy-duty, hard-use knives. His first collaboration with Spyderco, the K2, is a generously sized folding knife that definitely supports the designer’s reputation. Just shy of 10 inches (254mm) overall, it features a 4.53-inch (115mm) blade ground from CPM 10V—the first high-vanadium tool steel made using Crucible steel’s Powder Metallurgy process. CPM 10V’s toughness and machining characteristics are comparable to D2 and M2, but it’s impressive 9.75% vanadium content gives it extreme wear resistance. In a knife blade, this translates to superior edge retention—a highly desirable quality for a hard-use folder
The K2 was designed to withstand the rigors of serious cutting chores. It features a 4.53" Bowie-style, full-flat ground CPM 10V steel blade, radiused spin, titanium scales, Reeve Integral Lock, and convenient right-side, tip-down stainless steel picket clip.
