Great small EDC

I was originally using a shi**y no name folding knife up until it completely broke on me. Blade completely snapped out of the handle. I was looking into investing into a nicer edc but I didn't want to break the bank either. I work at a grocery store here in Chicago so I carry it for small things like tape and cardboard, but also around the city, it gives me a higher sense of safety compared to having nothing on me. Overall, the knife feels well built and sturdy, blade is very sharp and even, and it fits well into any pocket. The only con is that the locking mechanism is a little stiff at first but I'm hoping it eases up with more use.

My Favorite Spyderco. Ever.

I'm an Archivist & Librarian who uses this knife as part of my EDC. I have 4 other Spyderco blades, but this is by far my most favorite everyday carry. Period. Its small, but sharp and ready to use with the flick of my thumb. Its usually used to cut parcels and such open, but I've used it to cut steaks at lunch, and whittled tent stakes on the fly. Awesome tool, never leave the house without it.

Excellent EDC Knife

I bought this knife because I live in NYC. Carrying a blade longer than 2 " will get you arrested. This knife has excellent construction. It is obvious that Spyderco makes excellent, high quality products. The blade is thick, high quality metal and it comes razor sharp. Even though it is not classified as assisted opening, once the knife is broken in, it is very easy to open one handed. This is the best designed and constructed pocket knife I have ever owned. I will buy other Spyderco knives, they are a great company.
