C263 Bodacious
"Designed by Spyderco co-founder and Blade Magazine Hall of Fame® member Sal Glesser, the Bodacious is named after an American bucking bull that became famous as “the world’s most dangerous bull.” Inspired by that legendary animal’s indomitable spirit and impressive strength, our Bodacious is a hell-for-stout folding knife designed for unfailing reliability. Its broad, leaf-shaped blade is full-flat ground from CPM® S30V® stainless steel and available in choice of PlainEdge™ or SpyderEdge™ formats. The knife’s handle is built on a framework of skeletonized stainless steel liners nested within smooth G-10 scales. In addition to providing 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."[1]
