Spyderco's Gooney folding knife features a distinctive 3.44" hawkbill/sheepsfoot blade in 9Cr18MoV steel with SpyderEdge, gray G-10 handle, back lock, and 7.71" overall length.
Designed by Spyderco co-founder Sal Glesser, a Blade Magazine Hall of Fame member, the Gooney represents a thoughtful departure from conventional folding knife design. This is not a knife built by committee—it is the product of decades of cutting experience and a clear vision of what a versatile blade should accomplish.
The Gooney's 3.44" blade combines three proven cutting geometries into a single, unified profile:
This hybrid approach creates a blade that excels at multiple tasks without compromise. Whether you're processing game, preparing camp meals, or handling everyday cutting chores, the Gooney adapts to the work at hand.
The blade is forged from 9Cr18MoV stainless steel, a proven performer that balances edge retention with corrosion resistance. The SpyderEdge grind enhances slicing performance and makes field maintenance straightforward. A satin finish resists glare and shows minimal wear over time.
The gray G-10 handle provides a secure, non-slip grip in wet conditions. The back lock mechanism is robust and reliable—it will not fail you when it matters most.
The Gooney is a knife for those who understand that form follows function, and that a well-designed tool becomes an extension of the hand.
