Description of Spyderco C66PBK3 Centofante III Knife
The Centofante III is thin profiled and has a lightweight FRN handle. It has two channels that are furrowed out of the handle for better grip. The VG-10 blade has both a hollow-grind and wedge-grind with non-sharpened spine serrations. It also has a black steel pocket clip positions for tip-up/down, right-hand carry.Frank Centofante is well known in the custom knife industry, a celebrated veteran knifemaker, past president of the Knifemaker's Guild, and respected voice in the cutlery community. Innovative knife company Spyderco has collaborated with Centofante several times, with this model being the latest result.
The Centofante 3 offers a sleek profile with lightweight fiberglass reinforced nylon (FRN) handle. Two channels are furrowed into the handle for improved grip, and an eye-catching palladium silver Spyderco bug is inlayed into the handle's surface. For convenience and improved security, the back-lock is positioned at the midpoint of the blade's spine, with a clever David Boye dent cut from the locking lever. The razor sharp VG-10 steel blade has both a hollow grind and Swede grind for versatile use, and -- when it's time to be on the move -- a black steel pocket clip offers a variety of carrying configurations.

Sports reviews of Spyderco C66PBK3 Centofante III Knife
Customer Review: Nice knife.
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
I've only had this knife for a couple of months and have only carried a handful of times as I also purchased the SOG Aegis at about the same time. I really like Spyderco products, and this knife is no exception. It is very light and comfortable to carry. The blade is also very sharp. I think it's a great every day carry blade.Customer Review: Reliability

Customer Review: Disappointed
Sport shop rating: 3 Stars
I was really disappointed with this knife. The VG-10 hollow-ground blade is beautiful to look at, but clearly fragile. It arrived with a nick on its edge, and clearly wouldn't stand up to determined use.
The handle doesn't contain steel liners, which makes it very lightweight and does nothing for the balance or durability. It is pinned (rather than screwed) together, which makes longer term blade tension adjustments and cleaning impossible.
It definitely doesn't look like a $50+ knife, being made from the cheapest-looking plastic. The tacky logo on the handle makes it look more like a teenager's toy rather than a gentleman's tool.
