Product Description
Spyderco Bodacious, Folding Knife, 3.63 Leaf-Shaped Blade, 8.27 Overall Length, CPM SPY27 Blade Steel, Plain Edge, Satin Finish, Silver, Blue G-10 Handle, Compression Lock C263GPCBL
Designed by Spyderco co-founder and Blade Magazine Hall of Fame member Sal Glesser, the Bodacious is named after an American bucking bull that became famous as the world's most dangerous bull. Inspired by that legendary animal's indomitable spirit and impressive strength, their Bodacious is a hell-for-stout folding knife designed for unfailing reliability. Its broad, leaf-shaped blade is full-flat ground from their proprietary CPM SPY27. Developed in close cooperation with Crucible Industries, this state-of-the-art powder metallurgy steel supercharges the cobalt-enriched chemistry of VG-10 stainless steel with niobium, nitrogen, and increased volumes of carbon, molybdenum, and vanadium. The resulting material offers an exceptional balance of edge retention, toughness, corrosion resistance, and ease of sharpening. The knife's signature cobalt blue handle is built on a framework of skeletonized stainless steel liners nested within smooth G-10 scales. In addition to providing structural strength, the liners form the foundation of the knife's high-strength Compression Lock mechanism and provide a secure mounting platform for its broad-based pocket clip, which is reversible for left or right-side tip-up carry.

About brand
Quick! List the most respected and innovative knife companies you can think of. If you know anything about knives, Spyderco is somewhere near the top. Spyderco Inc. makes some of the most unique and downright bizarre knife designs you'll see on the market, but from the number of passionate fans discussing, debating, and learning everything they can about Spyderco knives, it's clear that the company has done something right.
From the Glesser Family and the Spyderco Crew:
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. In our million-dollar testing facility we examine edge retention with a CATRA machine, look for rust development with Q-FOG, check the force needed to open and close a knife. We also repeatedly test for stress, wear, optimal heat-treating and actively search for higher quality, performance enhancing steels and materials.
As a customer you probably don't think about this, or much care, but it allows us to put forth a promise. When you purchase a Spyderco you are buying a high-quality reliable cutting tool designed and manufactured for peak performance and ergonomic comfort. Those Who Know Carry Spyderco.
