The Spyderco FB02P Moran delivers professional-grade cutting performance in a compact fixed blade design that excels in tactical and everyday carry applications. This collaboration with knifemaker Bill Moran combines traditional drop point geometry with modern materials and manufacturing precision. The 3.88-inch blade length provides optimal balance between cutting capability and portability for users who demand reliable performance.
What Makes This Different
The FB02P features VG-10 stainless steel construction, a premium Japanese steel known for superior edge retention and corrosion resistance compared to standard 440C or AUS-8 alternatives. The full-tang construction extends through the entire handle length, providing structural integrity that withstands heavy-duty tasks. Spyderco's precision heat treatment process achieves optimal hardness ratings while maintaining the flexibility needed for demanding applications.
Key Features
- 3.88-inch VG-10 stainless steel blade with satin finish for corrosion resistance
