The basis for the Spyderco Bodacious design was another hard-use, Sal-designed Spyderco folder—the Shaman—which itself had its roots in his iconic Native model. Introduced in 2017, the Shaman took the refined ergonomics and proven design dynamics of the Native and expressed them in a larger, even more capable format. It replaced the Native's traditional back lock with Spyderco's high-strength Compression Lock mechanism, but faithfully retained its sleek, "humpless profile and its signature index-finger choil. Bridging the juncture of the blade and the handle, this feature allows the option of a forward-positioned or "choked-up" grip for enhanced control and dexterity. It does so, however, at the expense of edge length.

Although the profile of the Bodacious is the same as the Shaman, its design eliminates the forefinger choil to maximize the length of its edge. Its broad, leaf-shaped blade is crafted from Crucible Industries' CPM S30V particle metallurgy stainless steel and features a full-flat grind and satin finish. The blade's minimal ricasso (the unbeveled portion of the blade closest to the handle) gives it almost three-eighths of an inch (nearly 10mm) more edge length for maximum cutting performance. Veteran Shaman users who are sensitive to the potential "bump" of the blade's lower guard when closing the knife will also find the Bodacious' choil-less design eliminates this experience.

The gracefully curved handle of the Bodacious is built on a framework of skeletonized stainless steel liners nested within smooth black G-10 scales. The liners work in concert with a partial stainless steel backspacer in the butt of the handle to give the knife impressive structural strength and deft balance. They also form the foundation of its high-strength Compression Lock mechanism, which locks the blade securely open when in use and allows safe, easy, one-handed closing. This style of construction also allows most of the handle's back to remain open, reducing the knife's weight and facilitating easy cleaning. Unlike the contoured scales of the Shaman, the Bodacious' matte-finished scales are flat with gently radiused edges. This allows the handle to lie flat across the hand and instinctively orients the edge by tactile sense. To ensure convenient carry and keep the knife poised for immediate access, the handle of the Bodacious includes a broad-based pocket clip, which is reversible for left or right-side tip-up carry. The base of the clip also straddles a generously sized, lined lanyard hole that allows the easy attachment of lanyards, fobs, and safety lines.
