Spyderco Yurco Ginunting Fixed Blade – 8.08″ 9Cr18MoV Satin Full-Flat Ground Ginunting Plain Edge Blade, Natural G-10 Handle – FB54GP

Four decades of custom knifemaking, three black belts, and a career on the SWAT line don’t produce a concept knife — they produce the Spyderco Yurco Ginunting. Designed by retired law enforcement officer and martial artist Mickey Yurco, this full-tang fixed blade is a modern combat-ready interpretation of the traditional Filipino ginunting sword, built for collectors, martial artists, and serious fixed blade enthusiasts who want provenance and performance in the same package.

The ginunting is a traditional Filipino sword of the Visayan region — its name derived from the word gunting (scissors) in reference to its distinctive Wharncliffe-style tip. That concave blade profile isn’t decorative: it delivers exceptional leverage and cutting power while keeping the point naturally aligned for thrusting. Yurco’s collaboration with Spyderco translates those same dynamics into an 8.08-inch fixed blade built around 9Cr18MoV stainless steel — a high-chromium, molybdenum-vanadium alloy that provides reliable corrosion resistance and solid edge retention in a hard-use platform. The full-flat grind maximizes edge geometry across the entire blade height, balancing acute cutting performance with the structural strength the profile demands. A harpoon-style swedge at the tip preserves a strong but acutely pointed terminus — the ginunting’s signature thrusting capability, retained in full.

Key Features:

Mickey Yurco brought every credential he has to this blade — and it shows in every curve, fastener, and geometry decision.
