Collection: SPY27 Knives

Step into the next generation of cutting performance with our collection of SPY27 knives at Blade Forge. SPY27 is a remarkable powdered metallurgy stainless steel developed exclusively for Spyderco by Crucible Industries. Engineered to be an exceptional all-rounder, it offers an outstanding balance of edge retention, toughness, and superior corrosion resistance, making it a definitive choice for discerning knife users in Australia seeking a high-performance, proprietary steel.

SPY27 Steel: Spyderco's Custom-Engineered Advantage
SPY27 represents a significant leap in stainless steel performance, designed to meet Spyderco's exacting standards for a do-it-all blade material. Produced via Crucible's advanced CPM (Crucible Particle Metallurgy) process, SPY27's unique composition includes:

• Optimised Alloy Mix: Its formula features a precise blend of Carbon, Chromium, Molybdenum, Vanadium, and importantly, Niobium and Nitrogen. Niobium contributes to extreme wear resistance and fine grain structure, while Nitrogen enhances corrosion resistance and hardness without forming large, brittle carbides.
• Exceptional Balance: The key to SPY27's appeal is its ability to deliver a superb balance across the most critical performance metrics. It's not just excellent in one area; it's highly competent in all.
• Fine Grain Structure: The CPM process ensures a very fine and uniform grain structure, which contributes to both its toughness and its ability to take a very keen edge.

Why Choose an SPY27 Knife from Blade Forge? A Truly Balanced Performer
Opting for an SPY27 knife means choosing a blade engineered for superior, well-rounded performance in real-world scenarios:

• Outstanding Edge Retention: SPY27 holds a working edge for a long time, allowing you to get more cutting done between sharpening sessions.
• Superior Corrosion Resistance: Its high Chromium and Nitrogen content make it highly resistant to rust and staining, even in humid environments or when exposed to moisture and acidic substances. This translates to less maintenance and greater longevity.
• Excellent Toughness: For a stainless steel that offers such impressive edge retention, SPY27 boasts very good toughness, resisting chipping and breakage during normal to hard use.
• User-Friendly Sharpening: While it's a high-performance steel, SPY27 is generally considered more approachable to sharpen than some other super steels, allowing you to restore a razor edge with relative ease.
• Exclusive & Proprietary: Carrying a knife with SPY27 steel means you own a piece of cutting-edge material science developed specifically for one of the most respected brands in the knife world.
