The Spyderco ARK (Always Ready Knife) fixed blade knife is a lightweight self-defense tool designed by U.S. Army combat veteran Sam Owens. At less than 1 oz., this extremely versatile knife features a generous upswept clip point style blade with a very sharp point which allows for a high degree of cutting power for such a small knife. This particular Spyderco model is part of the Spyderco Salt series which was purposely designed to help solve the rusting problem that many users can attest to. The H-1 steel found on this knife is a non-carbon based austenitic steel which means it is not heat treated but, thanks to the small addition of nitrogen, still offers steel-like qualities. This model, the FB35SBK, features a black bidirectionally textured lightweight FRN (Fiberglass Reinforced Nylon) handle and a fully serrated (SpyderEdge) satin finished blade. This subcompact fixed blade also includes a redesigned injection-molded polymer sheath with incorporated integral tab for retention and a breakaway ball chain for a neck carry option.
