Spyderco Subway Bowie FB48PBK

Spyderco Subway Bowie FB48PBK

ASPFB48PBK

The Subway Bowie is a faithful expression of Perrin’s handcrafted custom design, executed with the advantages of an injection-molded handle and state-of-the-art blade steel. The heart of the knife is its blade, which is made from LC200N, one of the best steels from Spyderco’s popular Salt series. This advanced high-nitrogen tool steel is specially formulated to offer exceptional corrosion resistance and superior strength, even at high hardness levels. The advanced processes used to manufacture this steel give it a fine, homogeneous microstructure and allow it to be easily machined and polished. Its remarkable qualities make it a preferred material for applications involving high static and dynamic loads in corrosive environments, and it is even used by NASA for the ball bearings used in space equipment.

The knife’s fiberglass-reinforced nylon (FRN) handle is injection molded directly onto the blade tang for maximum strength and durability. Like its larger siblings, the junction of the handle and blade features Perrin’s iconic deep index-finger choil and a section of jimping (textured grooves) on the spine. Together, these design elements allow an exceptionally positive grip through focused pressure from the thumb and index finger. The rest of the contoured handle provides room for the middle and ring fingers to create a secure three-finger grip.
