As a Spyderco owner I have always wanted to acquire this model. Upon arrival I discovered that the blade didn’t fit properly in the handle when closed. Only the tip of the blade was retracted in the handle – the serrated portion was totally exposed with a clear gap visible above the handle. I compared this with other samples and this was not correct. Although Spyderco offered to accept under warranty and refund shipping costs I did not want to go thru this hassle for such a basic QC failure. Returned for refund.

I’m new to Spyderco, but have been so impressed with quality that I have now purchased two of these knives. The first one was for me personally to carry with me all the time. It came highly recommended by friends who know a lot about knives. I was so impressed with quality, craftsmanship, and value that I bought a second knife for my dad for Christmas. It’s very light weight, I forget it’s in my pocket until I need it. I highly recommend it. And the price on Amazon is far less than I’ve seen elsewhere.

first i would like to state here that i am a really big fan of MOST spyderco knives. But this one takes the cake, its H1 Japanese steel that it is made out of form Seki-city. and yes that has alot to to with why i love this knife, only had it about an hour but in that hour i have done alot of cutting in that time with it, testing it out so to speak. the shape of the blade is perfect for what it dose in it dose not slip up on the cut, unless your trying to do a straight cut with it then i find it a bit hard, and i wont grade it down for something that it was not meant to do. i found it a bit strange that the belt clip was not down with the blade but made the blade fold up and the clip point down. till i pulled it out of my pocket and was doing a fast cut with it,and found that in the way you pull it out of your pocket and opened it up made it ready to cut as it was open, and to be honest i am not a big fan of sarations on a knife but this one i really have to admit helps to have them. i am shocked that it will not rust as well, thats the only thing i have not really be able to test out, but i will in time with the more i use it to cut, as i said i am only writing this review about an hour after getting it, and i really really do like this knife. in the end FOR THE PRICE OF 28 dollars here and reg. 75 and am impressed with this knife, light weight and great design.

I fully immerse my knives in salt water almost every day I work and the Spyderco “salt” knives DO NOT RUST!! often knives will have atleast 1 little steel part (usually the pin) that rusts and leaves the knife worthless or dangerous. This knife is so sharp rope cuts itself because it is scared. If you work around salt water but don’t cut alot of rope I suggest the pacific salt but every mariner owes it to themselves to own one of these!
