Spyderco Knives: Spyderco Watu Knife, SP-C251CFP
The C251CFP Spyderco Watu Knife, part of Spyderco's Ethnic Series, features a 3.26 inch modified clip point blade made of CPM 20CV stainless steel, .100 inches thick, with a full flat grind and the Spyderco hole for ambidextrous one hand opening. The slim profile carbon fiber / G10 laminate coffin shaped handle, 4.17 inches closed, has milled holes for visual interest (and to lessen weight), full skeletonized stainless steel liners, sturdy Compression Lock and a side to side reversible wire clip mounted at the butt end. The Spyderco Watu Knife has an overall open length of 7.35 inches and it weighs 3.0 ounces. Made in Taiwan.
From the Spyderco 2020 Reveal Product Guide: Drawing inspiration from the traditional knife of the Chokwe people of Central and Southern Africa, the original Spyderco Chokwe was a revered member of our Ethnic Series of knives. The Watu continues this proud tradition, translating the original ethnic pattern into an even smaller, handier form.
Its distinctive triangular blade is full-flat-ground from CPM® 20CV stainless steel and paired with an open-backed, coffin-shaped handle with full, skeletonized stainless steel liners, a high-strength Compression Lock® mechanism, and stunning carbon fiber / G-10 laminate scales. These features are complemented by a reversible deep-pocket wire clip that offers a choice of left or right-side, tip-up carry.
Spyderco is honored to support Keep a Child Alive, an organization dedicated to providing life-saving anti-retroviral treatment, care and support services to HIV / AIDS-afflicted children and their families in Africa and the developing world. The Watu was inspired by traditional ethnic knives of Central Africa, so we are honored to give something back to its homeland by donating a portion of the receipts of each one sold.
