Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

A definite upgrade over the delica and vg-10. My only complaint is it is a lot of money for knife &amp. I'm usually not a fan of frn but this just works so well, and the action is amazing!

Solid steel and firm lock-up. Chamfered edges make for a more comfortable grip. Love the compression lock.

I find myself sharpening this knife far more often than others. Sharpened it the first time. Compared it to my manix 2 that i know is real and there is really no deference both sharp as heck.



Cons

Finger flicking is just annoying. Spyderco’s warranty allows owner disassembly but since i broke it the warranty is void. Ergo, i have to pay for a new clip and the shipping for it.

This thing is a ripoff. Way too much blue loctite from factory.

Quality


I own a few other quality edc knives there are other less expensive options out there


Also its a great quality one as well


With the clip and frn you hardly notice it even in workout shorts


Ultimately i bought a para 3 as my primary edc because it has the heft and the grippyness i’m looking for

Price


I got this at a great price shipped free with prime


The different steels affect the price of knives


4 stars instead of 5 due to mine coming with the blade not centered and i think the price is pretty high for a knife like this

Packaging/appearance


I dont plan to give up my mingriptillians for rugged outdoor activities but i do plan to carry the spyderco as a gentlemans knife


The blade arrived shaving sharp so it’s ready to use out of the box


Not a deal breaker and maybe a little lubricant

Competitiveness


I’m a spyderco fan and this is one of the best allaround knives i’ve ever had


Its a spyderco so you know youre receiving a great knife


If you’ve never had a spyderco i would suggest this one for your first


Well first off its an americanmade spyderco

    I wish the company would have gotten back to me about authenticity and warranty


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Decent but overpriced and overhyped for what it is


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Lightweight plastic handle also makes it questionable regarding long term durability under various usage conditions


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I really love this knife lookwise the blade looks great especially in black and i love the look and feel of the frn handles also the lightweight makes it very nice to keep in your pocket however out of the box the action is super stiff i had to do a lot of pivot screw fidgeting and add a bunch of oil the finally get it to fall smoothly when using the compression lock and it still occasionally gets stuck
