Here it is, the famous Lance “Surfingringo” Clinton’s folder: the Siren. Une sirène in French is a mermaid. This knife is maid to be an rustproof EDC. This is more a glimpse review, first impressions but you will have a follow up in the coming weeks. So far I’m very impressed by the quality of the knife. Also this is a knife designed as an EDC tool not a mall ninja nightmare. As Lance Clinton has repeated: this is not a specialized fisherman knife but an EDC knife designed by a fisherman. Immediately you notice how grippy the G10 handle is. Even with oily hands you got a grip. Also the guard is substantial. This shape makes the choke up of the knife easy with the ring finger anchored in the guard, as seen in the video. So this is a aquatic tool. A knife Lance Clinton tosses and forgets in the bottom of his sea kayak. For his living, he is a professional fisherman. The smoothness of the action is uncanny. I’m also able to flip it open with a push from the index in the Spyderhole. It would be also a great folding diving knife like all Spyderco Salt. For the record the Salt Pacific was used by Navy Seals. LC200N got an amazing edge retention which made it perfect for an EDC solution. Anyway the Siren is a well balanced all terrain workhorse. Spyderco’s backlocks are some of the strongest made and there is no blade play in any direction. It is also a light folder which disappears in the pocket. The black deep carry clip makes it invisible. So far I’m very impressed and I’m looking forward to playing with it.
Good-looking, the fit and finish are superb. Scary sharp. The LC200 steel means I'll not be too concerned with the blade's appearance and condition for the forseeable future. Has been used to process fish and game, as well as for tasks in the kitchen, garden, and yard - this knife has already proven itself worthy of the investment.
Having used Spyderco's since childhood, am confident this will be in that same great experience... heritage that I will pass on to my son. Loved the video;-! The Spyderco should be commended for showing how sharp the blade is as well as what not to do. Good visual lesson! Given the poor clip (we cant all be perfect) will use a lanyard with a carabiner attached to a belt loop. Or, maybe a breakaway chain like in the ARK.
