Spyderco Street Bowie – 5.05" Fixed Clip Point, Plain-Edge Black DLC VG-10, Black Textured FRN, Boltaron® Sheath w/ G-Clip (FB04PBB)

Model: FB04PBB • UPC: 716104650095 • Blade: 5.05" VG-10 stainless, plain edge, Black DLC (diamond-like carbon), clip-point • Handle: Black FRN (fiberglass-reinforced nylon) with molded texture & integral guard • Carry: Boltaron® sheath with G-Clip (multi-position belt/strap mount) • Designer: Fred Perrin • Origin: Seki-City, Japan

Purpose-built by French combatives expert Fred Perrin, the Spyderco Street Bowie (FB04PBB) blends field utility with discreet, defensive carry. Its long, lean 5.05-inch clip-point blade in premium VG-10 wears a durable, low-signature Black DLC coating that shrugs off corrosion and glare. A hand-filling black FRN handle with molded texture, integral guard, and palm swell delivers positive purchase in wet, cold, or gloved conditions. Paired with a slim Boltaron® sheath and an ambidextrous G-Clip, the Street Bowie carries comfortably inside or outside the waistband, vertical or horizontal, and under light cover garments—ready for real work from camp prep to back-country chores and professional duty.

Why the Street Bowie Stands Out

• Clip-point versatility: Generous belly for slicing, fine tip for detail work, and a long straight section for controlled push cuts.

• VG-10 + DLC durability: Japanese stainless balances edge retention, corrosion resistance, and easy maintenance; Black DLC adds surface hardness, scuff resistance, and non-reflective stealth.

• Confidence-first ergonomics: Contoured FRN handle with molded texture, integral guard, and thumb indexing points locks the hand in under stress or wet conditions.

• Carry your way: Boltaron® sheath is compact and secure; the G-Clip provides ambidextrous mounting on belts, MOLLE straps, packs, or waistbands, vertical, canted, or horizontal (scout).

• Field-to-duty pedigree: Designed by Fred Perrin for combatives; tuned by Spyderco for practical utility, control, and all-day carry.

Performance & Use Cases

• Field & camp: Food prep, cordage, feather sticks, and utility chores with a slicey grind that resists binding.

• Duty & defensive carry: Low-glare DLC, fast indexing ergonomics, and sheath options for IWB/OWB under uniforms or plain clothes.

• Backcountry & maritime: VG-10’s stainless character plus DLC’s added protection excel in sweat, humidity, and salt-laden environments.

Carry & Setup Tips

1. Choose your orientation: Run the G-Clip vertical for fastest, straight-line draws; cant slightly for seated access; go scout carry for backpack hip belts.

2. Dial retention: Boltaron® offers firm friction retention—add a drop of silicone on contact points if you prefer a smoother draw.

3. 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 responds quickly to ceramic/diamond stones; strop to refine and deburr.

• DLC care: Wipe with a soft cloth after use; avoid aggressive abrasives that can mar coatings.

• Sheath service: Rinse Boltaron® after grit/sand exposure; ensure the mouth is clear to maintain smooth, safe reholstering.
