Pros: Weight, Ease of Opening, Handle Material, Blade Material, Overall Quality, Blade Sharpness

Cons: None

Cuts above it's weight!

First, let me admit that I am a big fan of sheepsfoot blades for their all around utility. I find that I use the sheepsfoot on my 3-blade stockmans more often than the other 2 blades combined. This handy little knife with it's good handle erganomics is the equivalent cutter of the sheepsfoot blade on a considerably larger-handled medium stockman. Very handy on a keychain or when wering dress slacks, and a great compliment to a larger lock blade for folks like me who carry more than one knife.

definitely unique

I bought this knife because I wanted a small in-pocket EDC, and was intrigued by the design philosophy and appearance. (I really like the way sheep's foot blades look.) The knife is very high quality for the price. It opens and closes with a two-step feel: there is a detent halfway through the process. I particularly appreciate this when closing, as the spring is stiff and I'd otherwise worry about cutting the hand holding the handle. (The spring is so stiff that you HAVE to hold the handle with a grip that puts your fingers in harm's way. Of course, it's that same stiff spring that ensures the blade stays in the open position!)

My first Spydie Slipjoint & My first Italian Spydie

I love this knife. It's definitely sheeple friendly, being about the same size as a Case Peanut. Razor sharp out of the box. Love that they have a 1/2 stop. Nice and light too. Definitely recommend. Can't beat the price point.

Nice little knife. Maybe a little too small for EDC.
