Spyderco C10FCP Schempp Bowie Folding Knife
Experience the perfect fusion of heritage design and cutting-edge performance with the Spyderco C10FCP Schempp Bowie. Born from Spyderco’s legacy of innovation—dating back to the very first one-hand opening hole—this folder channels the spirit of the classic American Bowie into an everyday carry powerhouse.
From its inception in 1976 in Colorado, Spyderco has redefined what a modern knife can be. The Schempp Bowie pays homage to that pioneering spirit. Renowned custom knifemaker Jens Ansø Schempp collaborated with Spyderco to transform the legendary Bowie profile into a sleek, robust folder optimized for all your cutting needs. The result? A compact blade with immense presence and performance.
At its heart lies a premium CPM S30V stainless-steel blade in an iconic clip-point silhouette. Its full-flat grind slices through ropes, fabrics, and even light wood with surgical precision, giving you consistent control on every task. Flip it open in a flash using the signature Spyderco round hole—ideal for lefties and righties alike.
The handle is a masterclass in materials and ergonomics. Carbon fiber/G10 laminate scales deliver grippy traction and feather-light durability, while skeletonized stainless-steel liners reduce weight without sacrificing strength. A solid steel backspacer and dovetailed old-school bolsters marry modern engineering with a nod to traditional craftsmanship, and the integral double guard keeps your fingers secure under heavy use.
Every detail is tailored to your lifestyle. A stout liner lock mechanism guarantees rock-solid blade retention under pressure. A reversible deep-pocket wire clip lets you carry discreetly, right- or left-side. At just 4.6 ounces and under 8.5 inches open, this Bowie folder is at home in any setting—from urban commutes to backcountry adventures.
Whether you’re a collector seeking a slice of American cutlery history or a practical EDC enthusiast, the Spyderco C10FCP Schempp Bowie delivers legendary style, uncompromising quality, and razor-sharp performance in one compact package.
