I use this as an edc and have no complaints about it for the price point it's sold at, only thing I would recommend for it is some jimmping on the lock.
Pros: Weight, Ease of Opening, Pocket Clip, Blade Material, Overall Quality, Blade Sharpness, Handle Material
Cons: None
This is one of the greatests knifes that you can buy.This is my 4 th knife.We work it hard and it lasts for about 4 years.We carry it every day and use it for skinning,deboning,cutting etc.
This is the best EDC knife out there period. The clip is mounted on the correct end. Opens easy and fast, light weight and excellent blade. I would carry nothing else.
I have a modest collection of folders in the $50-150 range. While I like the quickness of my flippers, I find myself choosing either my Delica or Endura most often for EDC. while they’re no longer the most budget friendly blade, their quality has consistently improved over the years.
Had 12 knives come in out of the 12, 9 had a bit of blade play upon lock up, maybe needs thicker liners. Don't kill me spyderco fans, I'm one of you, but this knife was a little disappointing for the price. The knives were received in 2009, may be spyderco adressed the issue, if you can hanlde the knife before purchase , open it an see if the blade wiggle from side to side a little. Other than that, SHARP!, Lightweight, good grip and a handy spot for the thumb behind the opening hole.
Hats off to Spyderco Engineering - they got this one right in all the right places. Make no mistake, it is a "less expensive" knife - hold it to the light and you see gaps in the plastic handle, the plastic pieces are not joined perfectly. But that is also why the knife is priced a lot less than a comparable Benchmade folder. But in the areas the matter: tightness of lockup, no blade wiggle, smoothness of opening - could not get any better, not at ANY price. So, I am highly recommending this blade, but buyer beware: it's over engineered where it matters the most, but if you want COMPLETE perfection even in the non critical areas, you'll need to pay much more money. (By the way: I listed ease of opening as a con. I don't really mean that. I assumed I could easily flick the knife open. I can open it one handed, but with just a hole you're probably not going to get the deployment speed you'd get with a different system.)
