Great ergonomics and wicked sharp! By M Wojo from Chambersburg, PA on 08/26/2009 Pros: Comfortable Grip, Durable, Opens Smoothly, Sharp Blade Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Another great Spyderco design. Great ergonomics and wicked sharp blade makes for a great EDC knife. We need a G10 handled version now.
Superb knife at a fantastic price. By senoB from Sacramento, CA on 08/25/2009 Pros: Comfortable Grip, Compact, Durable, Easy To Use, Good Weight, Sharp Blade, Versatile Best Uses: Campgrounds, Day Trips, River Trips, Road Trips Describe Yourself: Casual Adventurer Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I primarily use it for food prep and cutting rope, boxes, and other fibrous materials during camping (or while in the city).
The serrations work perfectly and a breeze to touch up on most triangle-shaped ceramic or diamond hones. They do not rip or shred on most materials, but cut almost as smoothly as a well-sharpened plailn edge would. Does not need sharpening often, but is easy to sharpen compared to the very hard, high-end steels.
Ergonomically, it works fantastic in three of the main grips, forward edge out and in, and reverse out. Reverse grip in seems to make it more likely to actuate the mid-lock and therefore unlock the blade during use. The handle fits naturally in the hand especially in saber grip, with the index finger in the choil, and thumb pad pressed against the jimped thumb ramp.
Carry is fantastic: the deep-carry wire pocket clip is very discreet and blends in with a large number of clothing colors (if that matters to you) and is very secure in mine (no sliding at all). The knife is very slim and fairly lightweight: you literally will not know it's there until you reach for it.
The only con is the pinned handles, this doesn't allow disassembly to properly clean, lubricate, and tune the knife to your preferences (though the pivot is adjustable). The knife apparently lacks washers between the liners and the blade - while action is smooth, this results in circular scratches on the blade tang. However, this may also help prevent dirt and such entering this area due to the high tolerances and minimal space between liners and blade tang.
By An American from Denver on 08/23/2009 Pros: Comfortable Grip, Durable, Sharp Blade, Smooth Locking Mechanism Describe Yourself: Casual Adventurer Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I would have given this knife five stars if it weren't for having to use two hands to close it. I have been sitting in bed and locking and unlocking it for a week now and it is getting easier to unlock. Once open, it will not close on you, which is nice. The blade is razor sharp right out of the box. I had been looking at this knife for some time and when Sierra Trading Post gave me a 30% off of one item I jumped on it and I am very happy with my purchase!
By Bri from Pacific Northwest on 08/22/2009 Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: On first use, the clip screw broke off, rendering the knife useless. [...]. Oh well, win some, lose some.Nice design, with the ball bearing lock, but I suggest looking elsewhere for a quality knife.

By elkhunterbill from Emmett, Idaho on 08/12/2009 Pros: Compact, Durable, Sharp Blade Describe Yourself: Outdoor Professional Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: The knife would be better if it had rubberized grips-I did the plastic dip stuff and made it much more comfortable and less likely to slip when using. Get rid of the clip on device.
