Spyderco Bushcraft G10 Handles

Spyderco's version of a Bushcraft knife results from a three-fold collaboration between Tactical Bushcrafter Chris Claycombe, a Bushcraft website called BushcraftUK.com and Spyderco designers.

Knives used in the practice of Bushcraft have specific parameters such as possessing blades between 4-6 inches. Spyderco's is typical of the genre with a 4-inch blade (no handguard) that's 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 don't 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-1's 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 black leather sheath. It is overall blueprinted for performing wilderness chores such as slicing, chopping, whittling and game processing all done in traditional Bushcraft style

I'll admit to have drooled over this at the store a couple of times but really, it's the price of almost 2 F1s or an F1 and a Laplander and change or a Mora, a nice axe, the mentioned Laplander and change. Hell, for that money I could almost get a proper custom Woodslore clone without logos and the hole. It's nice if you're a gucci bushcrafter but...my money goes elsewhere.

@903lew I agree about the price, I think you can get the same performance with a condor o mora knife. but it is cool too. thanks for watching man!

Great review. Beautiful knife, I love the buffed g10. I would love to pick one of these up, but wouldn't be able to find a use for it.

It's all good man, glad to see you're making videos again!

One thing with the woodlores - when carving wood get a good "motorcycle grip" on the handle. Thumb on top is great for fine carving but when you use a scandi for shaving it can become a little unstable in my experience.
