Spydercos version of a Bushcraft knife results from a three-fold collaboration between Chris Claycombe, BushcraftUK.com and Spyderco designers.
Knives used in the practice of Bushcraft have specific parameters such as possessing blades between 4-6 inches. Spydercos is typical of the genre with a 4-inch blade (no handguard) thats fully-tanged. The blade is a Scandinavian or Scandi grind. Scandi edges have a single bevel grind, wide and flat that cuts with strength and is able to withstand twisting and hacking. The blade is made from O-1 tool steel. Bushcrafters generally dont seek the characteristics of stainless over the performance of high-carbon edge retention, and is why traditional Bushcraft knives are produced using tool steel for their blades. O-1s high carbon content holds a long-term edge but also sharpens easily when laying on a new edge.
The black G-10 handle is contoured for comfort with a backup lanyard hole and the knife carries in a leather sheath. It is overall blueprinted for performing wilderness chores such as slicing, chopping, whittling and game processing all done in traditional Bushcraft style
