Bodacious Cobalt Blue G10, Satinis a rugged EDC folder designed by Sal Glesser himself – founder and chief designer of the Spyderco brand. Inspired by the legendary rodeo bull, the Bodacious represents strength, reliability and uncompromising durability. It’s a tool designed for users who demand from the knife not only precision, but also resistance to heavy loads and extreme conditions – both in urban and off-road environments. The centerpiece of the design is a blade made of CPM SPY27 steel, developed in conjunction with Crucible Industries and available exclusively from Spyderco. It is characterized by excellent corrosion resistance, high hardness and stability of the cutting edge, which translates into long-lasting sharpness and reliability. The G10 handle in Cobalt Blue was developed with durability and safety in mind – regardless of weather conditions or intensity of use. The refined handle layout and solid construction support ergonomics of the grip and allow full control over the blade. The Compression Lock mechanism used in this model guarantees a high level of safety and easy one-handed operation. Spyderco Bodacious is a knife that will stand up to the toughest tasks – not only as an everyday tool, but also as a partner in demanding field situations.
CPM SPY27 – a proprietary blend of alloys, including vanadium, molybdenum, niobium, nitrogen and cobalt. The high-alloy stainless steel contains 1.4% carbon and a 1% admixture of niobium (Nb), one of the best carbides, which contributes to the steel’s wear resistance. Thanks to its properties, the steel holds sharpness for a very long time and guarantees aggressive cuts for a long time. It is easy to sharpen, corrosion resistant and contains a high admixture of 14% chromium. It provides good strength and cutting edge retention, as well as a fine-grained structure. Produced by US Crucible Industries using the particle metallurgy / Crucible® Particle Metallurgy(CPM) method. The CPM process produces a very homogeneous, high-quality steel with excellent dimensional stability, grindability and ductility compared to steels produced by conventional methods.
Compression-Lock – (similar to Liner-Lock) Spyderco 's (made in USA) patented blade locking mechanism. 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.
Blade – made of modern CPM SPY27 steel, developed specifically for Spyderco. It is characterized by high wear resistance, excellent sharpness retention and excellent corrosion resistance, which makes it extremely effective for long-term use, even in harsh environmental conditions. The Leaf Shaped profile, with its gently rounded backline and wide belly, guarantees cutting versatility, proving itself in both precision work and heavy-duty cutting. The full flat grind used allows the blade to run smoothly through the material and increases cutting efficiency while maintaining working strength. The satin finish adds to the elegant appearance of the blade and effectively masks micro-scratches that occur during daily work. The Spyderhole allows for quick, intuitive opening of the blade with one hand, which significantly increases functionality in dynamic situations.
Handle – full-length, profiled, covered with non-slip grips made of durable, temperature- and chemical-resistant G10composite (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.
