Spyderco C177GP Roc Cleaver Liner Lock Knife Black – Bead Blasted

The Spyderco C177GP Roc was designed by custom knifemaker Serge Panchenko. It combines an unusual cleaver style blade with a gracefully curved handle and a sturdy LinerLock mechanism to create a uniquely functional cutting tool that challenges convention. Precision ground from VG-10 stainless steel, the Roc’s blunt tipped, plain edge features a low profile matte gray finish and a saber grind that balances high performance edge geometry with the strength and heft of a full thickness spine. A long section of jimping (textured grooves) on the blade’s spine provides a solid purchase for the user’s thumb, and an easily accessible Trademark Round Hole ensures swift, positive one handed opening with either hand.

The Roc’s handle combines full skeletonized stainless steel liners with textured G-10 scales and an open backed construction that reduces weight and simplifies cleaning and maintenance. Its thick liners also form the foundation of the knife’s sturdy LinerLock mechanism, which includes a Bod Terzuola inspired concave lock ramp on the blade’s tang. To ensure convenient carry and immediate access, the Roc features a reversible deep pocket wire clip attached to the butt end of the handle to offer left or right side tip up carry.
