The Warrior combat knife is based on decades old models from Al Mar
Knives. This version is both modern and brilliantly designed. The main
differences from the old models are materials, amount of serrations on
the top side of the blade and the guard curves in the opposite
direction.
Spyderco Info: The Warrior fixed blade is one of the world’s most
intriguing combat knives. Based largely on the groundbreaking research
of close-combat icon Michael Echanis, the original Warrior was a radical
design intended primarily for use with reverse-grip tactics inspired by
the Korean martial art of HwaRangDo. Produced in limited quantities by
the late Al Mar and later resurrected by the martial artist Bob Taylor
and Echnais contemporary Randy Wanner, it is one of the most coveted
combat knives ever made.
The Spyderco Warrior faithfully retains all the salient features of the
original, while adding a number of performance enhancements. Its
revitalization happened at the request of our Israeli customer, Guy
Rafaeli.
Ground from rust-free austenitic H-1 steel, it possesses the same
differential hardness properties of a clay-tempered Samurai sword,
giving it extreme cutting power and shock resistance. Its full-tang
construction and textured handle scales provide a superior grip and edge
orientation, maximizing the knife’s effectiveness when employed with its
signature tactics. The sheath is a black ballistic nylon snap-closed
sheath with Molle-vest attachment capability.
