Spyderco Charisma Lightweight Lockback Folding Knife

This is the lightest edc I own. Easy to carry and the wire clip is excellent. Blade is razor sharp right out of the box and I highly recommend this knife for anyone looking for a useful tool without too much bulk.

Pocket knife

I have some Spyderco’s folders and fixed blades. This is something very new and different. Solid and very well made! And in the USA! It is smaller without being small. If that makes sense? The blade is definitely not too small or short, the handle has cut outs along the side that fit you thumb just right. The pocket clip on the side allows your fingers to hold it firmly with the blade closed and helps fill the hand when blade is open. I added a lanyard which adds length. The edge was not ground correctly so I used my KME to make it right. The steel is very abrasion resistant, gets a good curl and yet removes easily! This is very hard steel but not brittle! Used 600 grit diamond and it cuts TP like a lazer! Wow what a winner!
