Product Description
Since starting spyderco we’ve been told our knives are different, peculiar, even out there. All true. Thinking beyond established knife industry barriers allowed us to introduce new and Radical innovations to the knife culture including: one-hand opening, serrations on a folder and a clip to attach a knife to a pocket. We didn’t go into business to rake in a mountain of dough we’re here for more selfish Reasons- indulging our passion for creating knives. Spyderco is definitely out of the norm in the knife industry in our dedication to researching and developing fresh, improved and better performing materials all with function and reliability being key. Someone once said to sal glesser, spyderco’s owner, “you must design in the dark because your knives look so strange.” true again. Our recognizable appearance is a result of designing ergonomic functional tools rather than applying lipstick and nylons to a pocketknife. We may look curious, homely, whatever, but we’ll never be called unusable or undependable. Making knives that consistently deliver reliable high-performance requires an ongoing commitment to testing.

The knife is part of Spyderco’s Bill Moran-designed line, and features an upswept, Bowie-style blade with Moran’s engraved signature. |
This classic, durable knife is part of Spyderco’s Bill Moran-designed line of cutlery. Heralded as the father of modern Damascus steel forging and the founder of the American Bladesmith’s Society, Bill Moran — during his “retirement” years — collaborated with Spyderco to create a fixed blade design that remains a bestseller many years later.
This knife has an upswept, Bowie-style blade, flat-ground from VG-10 steel and featuring Moran’s engraved signature. The blade is tapered, starting thick where it joins the handle, and thinning down along the spine to a fine, uniformly ground tip. The remarkably well balanced knife feels very natural in the hand, providing steady control over the cutting edge during use. An FRN handle fits comfortably and naturally in the palm, and is inlayed with a panel of nonslip Kraton material. Ideal for hunting, camping, and many other outdoor applications, this knife additionally includes a convenient molded Boltaron sheath with multi-position G-clip that attaches easily to a belt or pack.
