Spyderco Gooney 3.46" Folding Knife

The Spyderco Gooney: Unconventional Design Meets Practical Performance

The Gooney represents a thoughtful departure from conventional folding knife design. Its defining characteristic is an unorthodox blade shape that merges the functional strengths of three distinct cutting patterns: the sheepfoot, the hawkbill, and Spyderco's proprietary Reverse S geometry. The result is a remarkably versatile cutting edge capable of handling a wide range of cutting tasks with equal competence.

Blade and Steel

Designed by Spyderco co-founder Sal Glesser, the 3.46-inch blade is crafted from 9Cr14MoV stainless steel and employs a full-flat grind. This geometry delivers exceptional edge performance and low-friction cutting characteristics—the blade glides through material rather than forcing its way through.

Handle and Locking Mechanism

The handle features gray, peel-ply-textured G-10 scales mounted on a linerless construction, providing a secure grip in wet or dry conditions. The blade is secured by a stout back lock mechanism—a proven design that offers reliable blade retention without unnecessary complexity.

Carry and Deployment Options

The Gooney accommodates a full range of carry preferences through its four-position pocket clip, which can be configured for tip-up or tip-down carry on either side of the body. A generously sized lanyard hole in the butt of the handle allows for the attachment of fobs, lanyards, and safety lines, adding another layer of security and accessibility.
