Spyderco Volpe Pocket Knife - Liner Lock, Plain Edge

I love this knife. Everyone who sees it agrees as well. It takes a little getting used to but I love the locking mechanism and it's easy to open and close one-handed once you get the knack of it. It stays nice and sharp and I carry it most days. Love it.

I've always wanted a Spyderco and this was a great first purchase. It's VERY sharp, extremely well made, smooth to operate and stylish. I like the wood inserts on the handle. It's more of a gentleman's knife than my SOGs and perfect to carry in my briefcase. Highly recommended.

Great design, quality.

This, like many frame locks, is not too easy to close but easy enough. A big sharp knife should not be too easy to close. I think it's no more challenging to close that a CR frame lock knife. Since it is steel framed it is moderately heavy. Fit and finish are excellent. Fits my hand well.

Just getting into knives, but this one is a beauty! You know you have it in your pocket. Maintains an edge for a good period. First knife I've owned with this type locking mechanism. It was cumbersome at first, but now when I pick up a lock blade with the locking mechanism in the back - it seems cumbersome. Beautifully crafted, and Spyco has stopped production, so get them while they last.

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!

Distinctive Italian look and feel. Will make for a good Urban Carry folder. Razor sharp right out of the box, what you would expect from Spyderco. Solid construction, no side or up & down play. Would have like Spyderco to provide a clip with the blade up option for faster deployment and also some teeth on the jimping but other than that a steal at this price.

My sister bought me this model as a gift a few years ago. Recently, I seem to have lost it. After considerable research, I ended up buying it again!

Spyderco the best.

Very nice knife. Opens well, and very nice to look at. Great edge. Closing is a little stiff. So far so good.
