This FB26PWDP Spyderco Bushcraft Knife is a discontinued item with serial number; BNIB.

From the Spyderco Archives: The Bushcraft knife pattern was created with outdoor use in mind. Spyderco fixed blades, just like our folders are fabricated using high tech materials, attention to ergonomic comfort and cutting safety as a primary focus.

Bushcraft as an outdoor sport has an interesting history. It follows a regime of survival skills derived originally from southern hemisphere Bushmen. Today it's mainstreamed by UK resident Ray Mears through his televised programs outlining how to thrive and survive skillfully and comfortably in nature with nothing but a knife. Spyderco's version of a Bushcraft knife is a result of a three-fold collaboration between Tactical Bushcrafter Chris Claycombe, a Bushcraft website called BushcraftUK.com and Spyderco designers.

Bushcraft knives have specific parameters such as having blades between 4-6 inches. Spyderco's is typical of the genre with a 4-inch blade (no handguard) that's fully-tanged. It has a Scandinavian grind, or Scandi grind. Scandi edges have a single bevel or double bevel but use a zero grind no secondary bevel. The result is wide and flat, cutting with strength and able to withstand twisting and hacking. The blade is O-1 tool steel. Bushcrafters don't seek the characteristics of stainless over the performance of high-carbon edge retention and this is why traditional Bushcraft knives are produced using tool steel. O-1's high carbon content offers long-term cutting retention but sharpens easily when laying on a new edge. The knife carries on a belt or strap encased in a leather sheath. Blueprinted for wilderness chores, it slices, chops, whittles and processes game in traditional Bushcraft style.

True Bushcraft knives have organic-material handles. Our handle is spalted maple burl that's contoured for continuous comfort and comes with a backup lanyard hole. Spyderco chose end grain spalted maple burl for its beauty.
