Bill Moran, renowned as the pioneer of American custom knife making and the founding figure of the American Bladesmith Society, has shaped the industry for over five decades. His custom knives command substantial prices, reflecting their esteemed craftsmanship and design. Spyderco proudly presents a production fixed-blade collaboration that honors Moran's timeless tradition. Available in two distinctive blade styles, the FB02 features a drop-point shape, while the FB01 offers an upswept Bowie-style blade. Both blades are flat-ground VG-10 steel, bearing Bill Moran's signature and taper elegantly from the handle junction to a finely honed tip. This design achieves a balanced feel often described as a "sweet spot," where the weight distribution between blade and handle ensures steady control over the cutting-edge. The FRN handle fills the palm comfortably and includes a non-slip Kraton inlay, enhancing grip security. Ideal for hunting and camping, each model is accompanied by a Boltaron sheath equipped with a versatile G-Clip fastening system.
