Spyderco Kiwi Slipjoint

The German is under review der englischen Version.

Sometimes it has to be a Kiwi. Kiwi is not only a delicious fruit, and the name of a bird, but it is a really great little knife made by Spyderco.
The original Kiwi series was a series of high-class knives, made in Japan. Like the Kopa I reviewed earlier, the Kiwi was made with different handle materials, and designed to be a gentleman EDC and collectors knife.

It is a shame, but the wonderful Kiwi was discontinued in 2009. One year later, an all new Kiwi was introduced. While the original Kiwi was quite expensive, made of VG10 steel, had a backlock and was made in Japan, the 2010 Kiwi is a chinese-made slipjoint made of 8Cr13MoV steel.
The all new Kiwi is a bargain, it costs under 20 - dollars, but still is a great and high value knife. While it is inexpensive, it looks and feels like a much more expensive knife.

The blade is made to perform well on EDC duty, normal tasks are not the slightest of a problem. The spring of the slipjoint is strong, so the knife is not easy to open one handed, but it feels safe and sturdy.

If you are looking for an inexpensive folder gentleman, the Kiwi might be the right choice.
