The Centofante 3 is a lightweight knife with a slim handle made of FRN material. The handle features two grooves for improved grip, and it has a Palladium silver Spyderco bug logo embedded on its surface. The back-lock mechanism is positioned in the middle of the spine for added security and convenience, and it has a David Boye Dent cutout for easy operation. The VG-10 blade has a hollow-grind and swedge-grind, with serrations on the spine that provide grip for the thumb while cutting. The knife also comes with a black steel pocket clip that can be positioned for tip-up or tip-down, right-hand carry. Frank Centofante, a well-known and respected custom knifemaker and former President of the Knifemaker's Guild, has collaborated with Spyderco on this design. The Centofante 3 is a sophisticated folding knife suitable for gentlemen.
