A foundry is a workshop for casting metal, which is why the name of this unique folder makes perfect sense. A collaborative effort between two industry titans in Spyderco and Carpenter, the Foundry features a stout 3.3-inch clip-point blade made from CTS XHP—which is similar to 440C but harder, giving it better edge retention. Though manufactured by Carpenter, the blade is slotted with Spyderco’s unmistakable thumb hole for one-handed opening. Despite the impressive blade, the handle is arguably the knife’s most distinct aspect. Made with Custom 465 stainless steel scales that are held together with a BioDur 316LS steel backspacer, it’s etched with the Carpenter logo in dark gray, like looking at a crop circle in a field of metal. Rounding out the knife is a wire pocket clip for convenient tip-up carry.
