Roc - G-10
Ukrainian-born Serge Panchenko has been making custom knives for only a few years, but in that time has gathered a following. His first collaboration with Spyderco, the Roc, combines a unique cleaver-style blade with a gracefully curved handle featuring skeletonized full stainless steel liners and textured black G-10 scales. Precision ground from VG-10 stainless steel, the Roc’s blunt-tipped, PlainEdge blade features a low-profile matte gray finish and a saber grind that balances high-performance edge geometry with the strength and heft of a full-thickness spine. A long section of jimping (textured grooves) on the blade’s spine provides a solid purchase for the user’s thumb, and an easily accessible Trademark Round Hole ensures swift, positive one-handed opening with either hand.
The Roc’s handle combines full skeletonized stainless steel liners with textured G-10 scales and an open-backed construction that reduces weight and simplifies cleaning and maintenance. Its thick liners also form the foundation of the knife’s sturdy Linerlock mechanism, which includes a Bob Terzuola inspired concave lock ramp on the blade’s tang. To ensure convenient carry and immediate access, the Roc features a reversible deep-pocket wire clip attached to the butt end of the handle to offer left or right-side tip-up carry.
