Recently, James A. Keating (a master at arms) came to Spyderco with an intriguing knife design in hand. This design entered the Spyderco R&D Department where it underwent various tweaks and refinements emerging as a new CLIPIT dubbed the C63 Chinook. Keating’s design is capable of handling a gamut of strenuous cutting chores. Spyderco uses a lock-back with strength beyond industry standards.
