Spyderco Bodacious Black G10, Black DLC CPM S30V by Sal Glesser Knife (C263GPBK)

Bodacious, Black G10, Black DLC, the design of knife with an extremely strong construction, designed by the founder of Spyderco, Sal Glesser. Its name pays homage to the wildest rodeo bull, one that was never tamed. Proven CPM S30V steel, G10 composite handle, a great tool for everyday use.

CPM S30V - one of the best knife steel, corrosion resistant, mechanical stress resistant American CPM S30V martensitic powder steel with carbon, chromium and vanadium with a hardness of 58-59 HRC. Developed by Dick Barber of Crucible Industries in collaboration with knife maker Chris Reeve to offer the best combination of strength, abrasion and corrosion resistance. Manufactured by US Crucible Industries according to the Crucible® Particle Metallurgy (CPM) process. The CPM process yields a very homogeneous, high-quality steel with excellent dimensional stability, grindability and ductility compared to steels produced by conventional methods. The alloy contains 1.45% carbon (C) and a significant admixture of vanadium carbides 4.0% (V) and chromium 10.5% (Cr). Thanks to its properties, it holds sharpness for a very long time and provides high corrosion resistance.

Compression-Lock - (similar to Liner-Lock) Blade locking mechanism patented by Spyderco (made in USA). Extremely durable, it provides extreme strength and ease of use. Located on the back of the Handle, it protects the knife from inadvertent locking. When releasing the lock, the fingers are not in the path of the folding Blade.

DLC (Diamond Like Carbon) durability of the blade's surface is enhanced by a matte black nanocomposite coating, which exhibits the unique properties of natural diamonds, such as exceptional hardness and low friction, also resistance to corrosion. It is one of the most resistant coatings to scratches and abrasion that are used in the industry, including the knife industry.

Blade - wide, Leaf Shaped, with an enlarged 14 mm SpyderHole cutout (Spyderco patent) allowing quick opening of the knife also with a glove, thumb ramp with notches (spine jimping) helps to control the large blade. Plain blade combined with Flat Grind gives excellent cutting edge geometry and extreme cutting performance. Coated with black DLC coating.

Handle - full-length, contoured, covered with non-slip grips made of durable, temperature- and chemical-resistant G10 composite (pressure-pressed fiberglass with synthetic resin) screwed to steel liners. The folder is equipped with a screw-on metal clip with double-sided attachment (right/left), which allows the knife to be carried in tip-up position. In the back of the tang, an enlarged hole (lanyard hole) for pulling alanyard or safety line.
