Fred Perrin is an accomplished custom knifemaker and craftsman, specializing in his own uniquely functional designs.
Perrin’s original FB04 Street Bowie was one of Spyderco’s earliest fixed-blade collaborations. Its versatile Bowie-style blade offers both power and finesse, making it suitable for a wide range of cutting chores. The injection-molded fiberglass-reinforced-nylon (FRN) handle features hand-filling contours and molded Kraton inserts that, together with the deep index-finger choil, literally lock the knife into the user’s hand for superior control.
Long a favorite among savvy knife users worldwide, the Spyderco Street Bowie is now back by popular demand. Like the original, the current version boasts a flat-ground VG-10 stainless steel blade. In classic Bowie style, it features a straight clip point that centers the tip on the knife’s centerline for maximum control. An extended section of jimping (textured grooves) on the spine of the blade mates seamlessly with a molded, textured panel on the handle for additional security and control. To reduce its reflective properties, the blade has a durable black ceramic coating.
The new Street Bowie features a completely redesigned sheath. Injection moulded from polymer, it has a high throat for positive retention while still providing a full grip on the knife at the outset of the draw. It includes Spyderco’s versatile G-Clip attachment, which supports both belt carry and clip-style inside-the-waistband carry. Configurable for vertical, horizontal, or diagonally canted carry, it can be attached to both sides and both faces of the symmetrical sheath.

I'm pretty impressed with this blade, more so than I thought. Hats off to Fred Perrin and Spyderco, who have actually pulled off a functional knife that meets the Martial Artist needs. I often get suspicious when eminent names with martial or combat pedigree are attached to knifes but I have to say the design works and works well for me and my style. Lovely balance and perfect grip in my hand whether held in an open or reverse grip. The sheath looks the part too and retains the knife well. Fast becoming one of my favourite training knifes and one of the few that actually feels comfortableand secure to hold . The knife itself is fairly lightweight and I won't be using it for bushcraft or camping, reserving it's use solely for the dojo.
