Construction

Like the prior model, the Cara Cara 2 retains spine and choil jimping and a four-position clip for a variety of carrying configurations. Skeletonized nested handle liners add strength while keeping weight to a minimum, and the screw-together construction is both sturdy and easy to clean and maintain. The 3.75-inch 8Cr13MoV stainless-steel blade has a comet-shaped hole, and the jimped crosshatching alone the spine helps the thumb's grip on the top of the blade for precise, comfortable, nonslip use. A finger choil enhances the ergonomic stainless-steel handle, and the mid-positioned back lock has a David Boye cut-away dent, a safety feature allowing tight gripping without accidentally releasing the lock. This Cara Cara 2 was designed with a black G-10 handle that is hyper-resistant to warping and fading, while also provided a non-slip grip.
