Introducing the Spyderco Stovepipe, a remarkable collaboration with renowned knifemaker David Rydbom, celebrated for his distinctive custom creations. Designed to embody Rydbom's meticulous craftsmanship and unique aesthetic, the Stovepipe is a standout addition to Spyderco's lineup.
David Rydbom, a self-taught artist and master knifemaker based in Ashland, Oregon, brings a blend of artistic vision and practical expertise to his designs. Inspired by nature and influenced by the American Arts & Crafts movement, Rydbom's knives are renowned for their functionality, beauty, and enduring quality.
The Stovepipe derives its name from the iconic "stovepipe" top hat worn by historical figure William Poole, reflecting its robust yet elegant design. At its core is a stout cleaver-style blade crafted from CPM-20CV stainless steel—a top-tier powder metallurgy alloy known for exceptional wear and corrosion resistance. The blade features a deep hollow grind for superior cutting performance and is adorned with machined details for added functionality and style.
The handle of the Stovepipe is meticulously crafted from solid titanium, with a stylish stonewashed finish that complements its industrial aesthetic. A Reeve Integral Lock (R.I.L.) mechanism ensures secure blade deployment and features an integrated overtravel stop for added durability. The handle includes a machined titanium clip for convenient everyday carry, emphasizing both functionality and elegance.
