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

'''FB45 Province'''

''im Ankerson is a passionate student of metallurgy and its relationship to knife design and performance. Drawing from his hard-earned practical knowledge and years of knife-testing experience, he teamed up with custom knifemaker Darrin Sanders to design a capable, all-purpose knife that is ready for anything.''

''The Province’s clip-point, Bowie-style blade is machined from CPM® 4V, a particle metallurgy tool steel enriched with vanadium and molybdenum for high-caliber strength, edge retention, and toughness. Its high-flat grind balances strength and edge geometry, while it full-tang handle and contoured G-10 scales safeguard a secure, hand-filling grip.''

''Ideally suited for survival, camping, and other demanding applications, the Province comes complete with a handcrafted leather sheath.''<ref name="The FB45 in Spyderco's online catalog">The FB45 Province in [https://www.spyderco.com/catalog/details/FB45G/1799 Spyderco's catalog]</ref>
