C226 One-Eyed Jack
"Designed by acclaimed custom knifemaker A.T. Barr, Spyderco’s One-Eyed Jack faithfully translates the painstaking craftsmanship of Barr’s prized handmade creations into an extraordinary factory-made folder.
The One-Eyed Jack’s full-flat-ground PlainEdge™ blade is crafted from premium CPM® S30V® stainless steel and includes a fully accessible Trademark Round Hole for easy, ambidextrous, one-handed opening. It is paired with a custom-quality handle featuring full, skeletonized stainless steel liners, stainless steel bolsters, and ivory G-10 scales. The obverse (near-side) scale is embellished with black and red G-10 inlays of a spade and a heart. These inlays are seamlessly fitted into the scale and both sides of the handle are thoughtfully contoured for a comfortable grip. As an extra touch of class, the stainless steel backspacer and the liners that form the foundation of the knife’s sturdy LinerLock mechanism proudly showcase intricate decorative filework—a feature rarely seen on a production knife. A deep-pocket wire clip mounted to the butt end of the reverse-side scale allows discreet right-side, tip-up carry. With craftsmanship that truly rivals the custom knife that inspired it, the One-Eyed Jack is a landmark achievement in manufacturing quality."
