Spyderco Stovepipe: A Bold Fusion of Custom Design and High-Performance Engineering
For knife enthusiasts seeking a blend of bold aesthetics, premium materials, and precision craftsmanship, the Spyderco Stovepipe 2.78" Plain Edge Folding Pocket Knife (C260TIP) is a must-have. Inspired by custom knifemaker David Rydbom’s acclaimed “Bill the Butcher” design, the Stovepipe brings dramatic style and serious cutting capability to the table.
A Cleaver-Style Blade Built for Performance
The defining feature of the Stovepipe is its 2.78-inch cleaver-style blade, crafted from high-performance CPM 20CV stainless steel. With a 4mm (.157-inch) thickness, this robust blade offers exceptional durability and edge retention. The deep hollow grind enhances cutting performance by providing superior edge geometry, making it an excellent choice for slicing and precision tasks.
Titanium Handle: Strength and Elegance Combined
The Stovepipe’s handle is constructed from two solid titanium slabs, joined seamlessly by a titanium backspacer. Each scale is meticulously machined to feature elegantly crowned outer surfaces, offering a comfortable grip with a refined look. The Reeve Integral Lock (R.I.L.) mechanism ensures secure and reliable blade lock-up, making this knife both stylish and functional.
Innovative Features for Ultimate Utility
Spyderco doesn’t just prioritize aesthetics—the Stovepipe is designed for practical use and durability. The oversized pivot pin doubles as an overtravel stop, preventing excessive movement of the lock bar. Additionally, the knife’s machined titanium pocket clip is configured for right-side, tip-up carry, ensuring convenient accessibility. The entire knife, from blade to handle to clip, sports an industrial-style stonewashed finish, reducing glare and hiding wear over time.
