The C151 Tuff was introduced in 2012 and was the result of over 8 years of refinement.

Appearance in catalogs

The C151 Tuff appeared in the following catalogs:

Designer

Ed Schempp

History, mentionings from the forums etc.

Prototype from the Amsterdam 2011 meet. Note the square texturing, which was changed to circular divots for the production version.

It seems Sal was carrying a Tuff prototype as far back as 2005.

Some discussion from back in 2006 about the choice for using 3V.

The Tuff originally was planned with full Ti scales and an integral compression lock.


Information from the Spyderco catalog on the web

C151 Tuff:

"The Schempp Tuff is one knife that truly lives up to its name. The brainchild of renowned custom knifemaker and design consultant Ed Schempp, it reflects his deep understanding of what it takes to make a tool that is both highly functional and practically indestructible.

Its stout CPM 3V blade is mated to a handle featuring a G-10 scale and stainless liner on one side and a sold titanium scale on the other. An oversized pivot and a Chris Reeve Integral Lock (R.I.L.) with a hardened steel insert ensure superior strength and increased wear resistance, while its dimpled texture and four-position clip provide exceptional grip and ease of carry."
