Description: The FB26 is a bushcraft knife that was designed in collaboration between Chris Claycombe, BushcraftUK.com and Spyderco. The knife has been discontinued in Wood, but is still available in the Skeletonized version as a limited production. The Wood verisons had cracking in the wood of the handles due to the changes in climate and were sold by Spyderco as Factory Seconds for $90. The remaining knives have JUST been released by Spyderco (as of 8/14/2010) as they have been sitting on their shelves to ensure that no more cracking will occur.
