The '''C160 Foundry''' was designed as a special project between Spyderco and Carpenter Technology. It is made entirely from Caprenter's own steels.

==Designer==

==History, mentionings from the forums etc.==

==Information from the Spyderco catalog on the web==

C160 Foundry:

"''At this time, the C160P Foundry is a special project between Spyderco, Inc. and Carpenter Technology, Inc. to bring a unique offering available exclusively to Carpenter Technology, Inc. employees and retirees. The good news is Spyderco will be offering a Foundry CLIPIT to the general market after we have fulfilled our exclusive commitment. The general production Spyderco Foundry CLIPIT will be publicly unveiled in the Spyderco product line as a line-item CLIPIT folder and will carry an MSRP of $349.95.''

''At the Foundry’s core is its wide, clip-point blade, machined from Carpenter CTS® XHP. CTS® XHP is an exceptionally tough powder metallurgy steel that is air hardened with added carbon and chromium for exceptional corrosion resistance and edge retention. The blade is machined with a fine cutting edge and full flat-ground for even higher strength and superior edge geometry. The Spyderco Trademark Round Hole™ makes the knife easily accessible for one-hand opening.''

''The handle scales are engraved with the Carpenter Steel logo and are Carpenter Custom 465® stainless steel with a Project 70®+ Type 316L stainless back spacer. Its wire pocket clip is Custom 465 stainless affixes to the handle for right-hand, tip-up pocket carry. A sturdy Chris Reeve Lock (R.I.L.) mechanism locks the blade in the open position and ready for use.''

''The Foundry symbolizes the spirit of American manufacturing-pride and innovation. It showcases both the Spyderco and Carpenter brands in a single unique knife design made with preferential alloys. ''"

===Questions regarding collecting the C160===

Some interesting questions we are looking for an answer to:

Questions with an answer: '''Q:''' Wasn't there supposed to be a version with BioBlu handles? '''A:''' Yes, there was. But difficulties in manufacturing with BioBlu forced Spyderco to abandon this version.
