Elegant Utility. Culinary Roots. A Slim Folder That Cuts with Purpose.

The Kapara is Spyderco’s refined collaboration with Australian custom knifemaker Alistair Phillips, inspired by his “Redback” design. Originally created for food prep, this knife blends graceful styling with high-performance materials.

With a crowned CPM S30V blade, contoured carbon fiber scales, and a red G-10 backspacer, it’s a sleek EDC that feels as good in hand as it looks in pocket. Skeletonized stainless liners keep it light, while the Compression Lock™ delivers secure, one-handed closing. A satin finish with crowned spine adds refined aesthetics and comfort, and a generously sized lanyard hole takes fobs, beads, or paracord. Built for everyday carry and culinary prep, it packs premium materials into a slim format.
