Spyderco Bodacious CPM SPY27 3.63" Folding Knife

The Bodacious: Built for Unfailing Reliability

Designed by Spyderco co-founder Sal Glesser, the Bodacious draws its name and spirit from an American bucking bull legendary for its indomitable strength and dangerous reputation. This is a hell-for-stout folding knife engineered for those who demand reliability above all else.

Blade Design and Steel

The broad, leaf-shaped blade is full-flat ground from Spyderco's proprietary CPM SPY27 steel—a state-of-the-art powder metallurgy material developed in close cooperation with Crucible Industries. This advanced stainless steel builds on the proven cobalt-enriched chemistry of VG-10 and supercharges it with niobium, nitrogen, and increased volumes of carbon, molybdenum, and vanadium.

The result is an exceptional balance of:

• Edge retention that holds up through demanding use
• Toughness for real-world reliability
• Corrosion resistance in harsh environments
• Ease of sharpening when maintenance is needed

Handle and Locking Mechanism

The signature cobalt blue handle is built on a framework of skeletonized stainless steel liners nested within smooth G-10 scales. This construction provides structural strength while serving as the foundation for the knife's high-strength Compression Lock mechanism—one of the most reliable locking systems in modern knife design.

The broad-based pocket clip is reversible for left or right-side tip-up carry, accommodating both right and left-handed users with equal ease.
