Spyderco Skoli – 4.68″ 9Cr18MoV Flat Grind Plain Edge Blade, Contoured G-10 Handle – FB53GP

Designed by respected custom knifemaker Kevin Smock, the Spyderco Skoli is an all-purpose fixed blade built on his own hunting and camping experience. Its 4.68″ modified sheepfoot blade in 9Cr18MoV stainless steel delivers a well-centered utility point, a flat grind for clean low-friction cutting, and solid corrosion resistance — ideal for detailed outdoor tasks and hard field use alike. As a purpose-shaped design with grip security at its core, the Skoli offers a dependable edge for hunters, campers, and outdoor adventurers.

The full-tang G-10 handle features precision-machined contoured scales with a high-traction checkered texture, a single quillon (front guard), and spine jimping for positive control in demanding conditions. Model FB53GP is available in a stonewashed finish or a low-signature black oxide coating — the black-bladed version includes matching black-coated handle hardware for a consistent profile. Both versions include a custom-molded snap-fit Boltaron® sheath with a G-Clip™ mount that supports angle-adjustable belt carry and inside-the-waistband carry.
