General Spyderco | Waterway™

Waterway Designer Lance Clinton Is A Lifelong Knife Enthusiast And Professional Kayak Fisherman Who Has Spent Literally Thousands Of Hours On The Water, Making His Knowledge Of Hard-Use Marine Knives Unparalleled. Clinton’S Vision For The Waterway Was To Create An Ultra-Corrosion-Resistant Knife That Would Excel At Fishing Tasks While Remaining Well Suited To General Utility And Outdoor Use.

The Waterway’S Blade Is Crafted From Lc200N—A State-Of-The-Art High-Nitrogen Alloyed Tool Steel Specifically Formulated To Offer Superior Corrosion Resistance And Extreme Toughness, Even At High Levels Of Hardness. To Maximize Its Strength And Balance, The Waterway’S Plainedge™ Blade Features A Full Tang. It Is Flanked On Both Sides By Solid G-10 Scales That Are Meticulously 3-D Machined To Create A Non-Slip Diamond Pattern. The Scales Are Attached By A Specialized Process Involving Blind Pins And A High-Strength Industrial Adhesive, Ensuring A Permanent, Water-Tight Bond.

To Allow Convenient Carry And Keep The Waterway Instantly Accessible, It Comes Complete With A Custom-Molded Boltaron® Sheath With A Versatile G-Clip™ Attachment. The Snap-Fit Sheath Retains The Knife Securely, While Allowing A Smooth, Easy Draw, And The G-Clip Can Be Configured To Provide A Full Range Of Carry Positions.
