Compact, concealable, and relentlessly capable—the Spyderco Street Beat (FB15PBBK) distills Fred Perrin’s field-proven Street Series into a lighter, sleeker package that carries all day without printing. Its 3.51-inch Bowie/clip-point blade in premium VG-10 wears a tough, low-signature Black DLC coating for added abrasion resistance and glare reduction. The hand-filling Black FRN handle features molded texture, a palm swell, and an integral double guard that lock your grip in wet, cold, or gloved conditions. Paired with a slim Boltaron® sheath and an ambidextrous G-Clip, the Street Beat rides IWB or OWB, vertical, canted, or horizontal (scout)—ready for real work from camp prep and utility tasks to low-profile professional carry.
Why the Street Beat (Black DLC) Belongs on Your Belt
Purpose-built blade geometry: The Bowie/clip-point profile combines a fine, controllable tip with useful belly for slicing—perfect for cordage, food prep, and detailed utility.
VG-10 + DLC durability: VG-10 stainless balances edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance; Black DLC adds surface hardness and a non-reflective finish that hides wear.
Confidence-first ergonomics: Contoured FRN handle with molded traction, integral guard, and indexing points ensure a locked-in grip when conditions are slick or stressful.
Carry your way: The compact Boltaron® sheath with G-Clip enables ambidextrous, multi-angle mounting to belts, MOLLE straps, packs, or waistbands for discreet, repeatable access.
Lightweight, all-day comfort: The thin, skeletonized tang and FRN scales keep weight down without sacrificing control or strength.

Performance & Use Cases
Everyday utility: Compact length and controllable point excel at package breakdown, zip-ties, rubber hose, and camp kitchen tasks.
Duty & discreet carry: Low-glare DLC, slim sheath, and secure ergonomics make it a natural for plain-clothes or low-profile setups.
Outdoors & backcountry: Stainless VG-10 plus DLC’s added protection stand up to sweat, rain, and coastal humidity.
Carry & Setup Tips
Select the orientation: Run vertical for fastest straight-line draws, canted for seated access, or horizontal (scout) for backpack hip belts.
Tune retention: Boltaron® provides firm friction—lightly polish or apply silicone at contact points if you prefer a smoother draw.
Edge strategy: Keep a slightly toothy finish (800–1200 grit or light strop) for aggressive slicing on fibrous media.
Care & Maintenance
Edge upkeep: VG-10 refreshes quickly on ceramic/diamond stones; strop to deburr and refine.
Coating care: Wipe DLC with a soft cloth after use; avoid harsh abrasives that can mar coatings.
Sheath service: Rinse Boltaron® after sand/grit exposure; keep the mouth clear for safe, consistent re-sheathing.
