- Bodacious Black G10, Satin - an incredibly strong knife designed by Spyderco founder Sal Glesser. Named after the American bull renowned as “the world’s most dangerous bull.” Crafted with proven CPM S30V steel and a G10 composite handle.

This product is intended for use only by adults with knowledge and experience in handling sharp cutting tools. Improper use of the knife can result in serious injuries. The blade is extremely sharp and can easily cut through skin and tissue; therefore, extra caution should always be exercised while cutting, and hands should be kept away from the cutting edge. To prevent the knife from slipping, it is recommended to cut on a stable, non-slip surface and avoid excessive force, which may cause uncontrolled blade movement.
Leaving the knife on the edge of a table, countertop, or in easily accessible places—especially where children are present—poses a significant safety risk. The knife should always be properly secured after use, ideally by placing it on a stable surface or storing it in designated knife blocks, protective sheaths, or magnetic strips. The knife should never be used for tasks it is not designed for, such as opening cans or prying objects, as this can damage the tool and lead to dangerous accidents.
A dull blade increases the risk of injury, as it requires more force and is more likely to slip from the material being cut. Therefore, it is essential to sharpen the knife regularly to maintain optimal sharpness. Additionally, proper cleaning and drying of the knife are necessary to prevent corrosion and bacterial growth. Periodic inspection of the handle and blade is recommended to check for cracks, chips, or looseness. If any damage is detected, the knife should be repaired or replaced immediately.
When using the knife, focus solely on the task at hand—avoid talking on the phone, watching television, or other distractions while cutting. Ensure proper lighting in the workspace for better visibility and control. Please note that some countries or regions have laws restricting the ownership and carrying of knives. Before purchasing or using this knife, verify that its use is legal in your location according to applicable regulations.
Following these safety guidelines will help ensure safe and effective knife use, minimizing the risk of accidents and extending the lifespan of the tool.
Bodacious Black G10, Satin design of knife with an extremely strong construction, designed by the founder of Spyderco, Sal Glesser. Its name pays homage to the wildest rodeo bull, one that was never tamed. Incredibly strong, tough, and reliable. Infernally strong, tough and reliable. Proven CPM S30V steel, G10 composite handle, a great tool for everyday use.
CPM S30V - one of the best knife steel, corrosion resistant, mechanical stress resistant American CPM S30V martensitic powder steel with carbon, chromium and vanadium with a hardness of 58-59 HRC. Developed by Dick Barber of Crucible Industries in collaboration with knife maker Chris Reeve to offer the best combination of strength, abrasion and corrosion resistance. Manufactured by US Crucible Industries according to the Crucible® Particle Metallurgy (CPM) process. The CPM process yields a very homogeneous, high-quality steel with excellent dimensional stability, grindability and ductility compared to steels produced by conventional methods. The alloy contains 1.45% carbon (C) and a significant admixture of vanadium carbides 4.0% (V) and chromium 10.5% (Cr). Thanks to its properties, it holds sharpness for a very long time and provides high corrosion resistance.
Compression-Lock - (similar to Liner-Lock) Blade locking mechanism patented by Spyderco (made in USA). Extremely durable, it provides extreme strength and ease of use. Located on the back of the Handle, it protects the knife from inadvertent locking. When releasing the lock, the fingers are not in the path of the folding Blade.
Blade - wide, Leaf Shaped, with an enlarged 14 mm SpyderHole cutout (Spyderco patent) allowing you to quickly open the knife even with a glove, thumb ramp with notches (spine jimping) helps control the large blade. Plain blade combined with flat grind (Flat Grind) gives excellent cutting edge geometry and extreme cutting performance.
Handle - full-length, contoured, covered with non-slip grips made of durable, temperature- and chemical-resistant G10 composite (pressure-pressed fiberglass with synthetic resin) screwed to steel liners. The folder is equipped with a screw-on metal clip with double-sided attachment (right/left), which allows the knife to be carried in tip-up position. In the back of the tang, an enlarged hole (lanyard hole) for pulling alanyard or safety line.
