Spyderco is the only knife company in the world to consistently feature CPM 15V in production knives. Containing almost 15 percent vanadium, its unique alloy composition creates an exceptionally high volume of vanadium carbides in its microstructure, giving it the highest level of wear resistance of any cold-work tool steel available today. In knife blades, this translates to breathtaking cutting performance and unparalleled edge retention. Spyderco’s limited-edition CPM 15V knives are further enhanced by a specialized heat-treating protocol developed by renowned custom knifemaker Shawn Houston, aka “Big Brown Bear.” Symbolic of Houston’s input, the handles of these knives all feature a distinctive brown color and the reverse side of every blade is laser engraved with his “Triple B” logo. All other features of these knives are faithfully consistent with the standard production versions of each model.
