Bill Moran is recognised as the grandfather of American custom knife-making and the founding father of the American Bladesmith Society. He started pounding steel, making knives more than fifty years ago. If you’re lucky enough to find a custom-made Moran to buy, expect to shell out five-figures, minimum. His work and designs are that revered. Spyderco is privileged to offer a production fixed-blade collaboration patterned in Bill Moran’s ageless tradition. We’ve made it available in two distinct blade shapes. The FB01 has an upswept Bowie-style blade, the FB02, a drop-point shape. Both blades are flat-ground VG-10 and carry Bill’s signature. They are tapered, starting thick where the blade joins the handle, thinning down the spine to a fine, uniformly ground tip. In the hand the knife conveys a unique feeling of balance, called by some a sweet spot. The sweet spot is due to the blade and handle being comparable in weight. This balance transfers into a feeling of steady control over the cutting edge. The Fibreglass-Reinforced-Nylon (FRN) handle three-dimensionally fills out the palm and is inlayed with a panel of non-sliding Kraton. Highly recommended for hunting and camping both models come in a moulded Boltaron sheath with multi-position G-Clip fastening system.
