An Elegant Spyderco Classic
The Centofante III is a refined gentleman’s folder created in collaboration with one of the most respected figures in American custom knifemaking. Frank Centofante was a celebrated craftsman, former President of the Knifemakers’ Guild and an influential voice within the wider cutlery industry, making this collaboration a particularly meaningful part of Spyderco’s design heritage. The Centofante III distils his understated approach into an exceptionally slim and lightweight folder, combining elegant proportions with the practical ergonomics and cutting performance expected from a Spyderco. Discreet enough for everyday carry yet distinctive enough to appeal to collectors, it remains a particularly characterful example of Spyderco’s gentleman’s folder designs.
This example is in pristine, as new condition. Complete with original box and papers.
"A knife that's as unique as it is elegant. A staple Spyderco." - Mr. Narwhal 
Custom Heritage, Production Precision
The full-flat-ground VG-10 stainless steel blade combines a refined hollow grind with a swedge-ground spine, while textured jimping provides a secure thumb position for greater control during detailed cutting. The slim handle is injection moulded from lightweight FRN and features two longitudinal channels that add subtle texture and improve grip without compromising its sleek profile. A polished Palladium silver Spyderco bug is inlaid into the handle, providing an understated finishing touch. The blade is secured by a centrally positioned back lock incorporating a David Boye Dent, while a black steel pocket clip provides versatile right-hand tip-up or tip-down carry. Lightweight, elegant and unmistakably influenced by Centofante’s custom-knifemaking heritage, the Centofante III is a sophisticated interpretation of the classic everyday gentleman’s folder.
