Product Overview
Designed by Spyderco co-founder and Blade Magazine Hall of Fame® member Sal Glesser, the Bodacious™ is a heavy-duty folding knife named after a legendary American bucking bull. Inspired by that animal’s strength and indomitable spirit, its sturdy construction offers unfailing reliability. This expression of the Bodacious elevates its performance even further with a blade crafted from CPM® SPY27® stainless steel. Exclusive to Spyderco, this elite steel contains a proprietary mix of alloys, including vanadium, molybdenum, niobium, and nitrogen. This advanced formula is amplified by its signature element—cobalt—and the state-of-the-art Crucible Particle Metallurgy process to yield a blade steel that offers excellent toughness, corrosion resistance, and edge retention. The leaf-shaped, PlainEdge™ blade of the Bodacious features a full-flat grind and a satin finish for low-friction cutting performance. It is paired with a handle featuring skeletonized stainless steel liners nested within smooth cobalt blue G-10 scales. In addition to providing impressive 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.
