Named after one of the most legendary bucking bulls in American rodeo history, the Spyderco Bodacious brings a bold personality and serious cutting performance to the pocket. This distinctive folding knife pairs a high-performance CPM CRU-WEAR blade with classic brown canvas Micarta for a combination that blends modern materials with old-school character.
The 3.63-inch blade is precision machined from CPM CRU-WEAR and features a full-flat grind with a satin finish. Produced through Crucible’s Particle Metallurgy process, CPM CRU-WEAR has an exceptionally fine microstructure and uniform alloy distribution. Those characteristics make it exceptionally tough while providing excellent edge retention, giving the Bodacious a blade that can handle demanding cutting tasks while maintaining dependable performance over time.
Spyderco’s signature round opening hole provides an easy, reliable way to deploy the blade, while the high-strength Compression Lock keeps it securely in place during use. The lock is integrated into a handle supported by full stainless steel liners, creating a solid foundation beneath the scales and adding strength to the overall design.
The brown canvas Micarta scales give this Bodacious its unmistakable Cru-Carta identity. Smooth to the touch yet naturally grippy, Micarta offers a comfortable feel in the hand while bringing a warm, traditional appearance to the otherwise thoroughly modern folder. Even better, the material is intentionally suited to developing a natural patina with age and use, allowing the handle to take on its own unique character as it becomes part of your everyday gear.
A stainless steel backspacer ties the handle together and complements the full liners, while the broad-based pocket clip provides a secure carry option. The clip is reversible, allowing for left- or right-side, tip-up carry so you can configure the knife to suit your preferred setup.
At 8.27 inches overall and weighing 4.4 ounces, the Bodacious offers a substantial presence without becoming cumbersome in the pocket. Whether you’re tackling everyday utility work, cutting through packaging and cordage, or simply adding a dependable folder to your collection, this Cru-Carta edition delivers the performance Spyderco is known for with a distinctive classic aesthetic.
Available at Smoky Mountain Knife Works, a Tennessee landmark and the world’s largest knife store.
