Spyderco Moran™ Upswept – FB01P

The Spyderco Moran™ Upswept (FB01P) is a lightweight, high-performance fixed blade created in collaboration with legendary American bladesmith Bill Moran, founder of the American Bladesmith Society and one of the most influential knife makers of all time. This knife honors his iconic craftsmanship through refined ergonomics, exceptional cutting performance, and an elegant, timeless design.

The Moran Upswept features a 3.92-inch full-flat-ground VG-10 stainless steel trailing-point blade, delivering outstanding slicing ability, edge geometry, and corrosion resistance. Its upswept profile excels in detail work, food prep, field dressing, and general utility—making it a superb companion for hunters, outdoorsmen, and everyday users alike.

The handle is constructed from lightweight, durable FRN (Fiberglass Reinforced Nylon) with textured Kraton® rubber inlays, ensuring a secure, comfortable, and slip-resistant grip in any environment. At only 3 ounces, the Moran offers the agility of a much smaller knife with the performance of a full-sized fixed blade.

Every knife comes paired with a custom-molded Boltaron® sheath featuring Spyderco’s versatile G-Clip™ system, allowing multiple carry angles including vertical, horizontal, or canted positions.

A tribute to an American master and a practical tool for real-world use, the Moran™ Upswept stands as one of Spyderco’s most respected and enduring fixed blade designs.
