The Spyderco Wakiita Series knives are equipped with precision-ground blades made from CTS® BD1N, a high-carbon, nitrogen-enriched stainless steel renowned for its superior balance of hardness, edge retention, and corrosion resistance.
These blades are ground exceptionally thin and straight, ensuring you can confidently achieve top-notch cutting performance every time. They proudly display the signature "Carter Elbow" – a distinct taper from the spine to the point that reinforces the blade's tip. In a nod to tradition, the Wakiita Series knives come with wa-style (octagonal) handles, meticulously crafted from durable black G-10, a fiberglass and epoxy laminate.
These handles not only ensure comfort and precise control but also connect you to the rich culinary heritage that inspired these knives. The Wakiita Series seamlessly blends time-honoured traditional designs with modern state-of-the-art materials, translating Murray Carter's prized custom designs into high-performance cutlery that will satisfy even the most discerning cooking enthusiasts.
