Spyderco FB35PBK ARK “Always Ready Knife”
The Spyderco ARK is an ultra-compact fixed blade designed by U.S. Army combat veteran John Shirley and his friend Sam Owens as a personal-defense tool for military personnel. Built to be carried at all times, the ARK is exceptionally lightweight and designed for secure neck carry.
Its blade is crafted from H-1 steel, a nitrogen-based alloy that is completely rust-proof, making it ideal for maritime environments, sweaty carry, or any conditions where corrosion is a concern. The blade features a curved profile with a sharp point optimized for last-resort defense.
The handle is made from FRN (fiberglass-reinforced nylon) with bi-directional texturing, ensuring a positive grip despite the knife’s small size. The package is completed with a molded Boltaron neck sheath for discreet carry.
