Spyderco X Kingdom Armory - Bomber Edition hand-ground Stovepipe*
A Note from Dave:
"Twelve - the number of years it took to bring this @spyderco_inc @kingdomarmory project full circle and to completion! In recognition of that, I have pulled and hand ground a stovepipe for each of those years. They are personally ground, signed, tuned and sharpened by me. I use no fixtures, all grinding is done free hand 🤚 ✋ - each will come with a COA denoting it as one of the first run - Bomber Edition 12 (for those of you that don’t know, my name amongst friends is Bomber - hence the nomenclature)"

*Stovepipe - Spyderco licensed and produced version of David Rydbom's Kingdom Armory Butcher Design. First catching Sal's Eye in early 2010, Spyderco expressed an interest in the Butcher design almost immediately after the first prototype was built in late 2009. Still, it took another 7 years until Dave and Spyderco formalized their relationship and a custom proto was built and delivered to Colorado to begin making the knife tour circuit with the Spyderco team. Now for the first time in that 12 year journey, Spyderco is proud to offer an almost exact duplicate of that custom Butcher as built ... now in full production and known as the "Stovepipe".
Manufactured in Spyderco's Tawain factory to ensure a build of the highest quality, the frames are meticulously 3d milled 6al4V titanium duplicating the exact pattern hand milled and ground in the original custom piece. Small but hugely important cross over details include a billet milled pocket clip, backspacer, and titanium pivot collar that functions as both lockbar stabilizer and overtravel. A seamless and functional method of incorporating that stability, and used quite often in Dave's custom builds. (collars and pivot screw designs inspired by Steve Kelly at Ti Connector). All blades are manufactured from 20cv stainless, and wear the appropriate origin and collaborative logos ... including the trademarked Stag Chop, with the Rydbom name now proudly settled under that skull!
