Perfect Knife
By Ian Shelton
I have owned spyderco knives for many years now. My daily carry knife when i was younger was a ladybug. Now currently an endura ss. They are great knives for everyday use. This is the first spyderco i have bought for a specific use. This knife is really only good for cutting rope in the salt water. However for that use it is perfect. It slices through rope, webbing, nets and line effortlessly. It is also rust proof.I will definately use it every time i dive from now on.for my day to day carry i still recommend the endura or ladybug models.

It really depends upon your tasks for any knife. This one is terrific for opening those horrid hard plastic clamshell display packages so many things come in. It's big enough to keep your hands away from the sharp plastic when you're cutting it open, and sturdy enough you don't worry about it like with a crappy box opener, and shaped so you don't cut the item you're trying to free from it's plastic prison. Can't tell you how many times I've cut myself on the plastic of the container and not the knife or box cutter -- just getting the dang item out of the package. These are so terrific I consider them great gifts -- but only to those who can appreciate their cost/value. Also great for many other everyday tasks -- but not ALL. I don't expect one tool to do all things, same with shape of a knife. That's why so many kitchen knives for different purposes. You don't have to be a "knife person" to appreciate the fact that these don't rust and cut through that hard plastic like butter!Be aware, this is what I'd consider a medium-size pocket knife -- it's narrow profile, but very wide when closed due to the curved shape. Please do NOTE the serrations do NOT go completely into the handle, but so far no problems and it's not sharp when knife is closed and you feel outside of serrations intentionally. The blade is only about 0.7" longer than the Ladybug (1.687" cutting edge)-- which I also love and which cuts said plastic well -- but is not shaped nor long enough to keep my fingers out of trouble on those clamshell pkgs. (Did I mention I hate clamshell pkging?!) So at last a WIN in the hassle of a decade.From the spyderco website (should be on description):length overall 6.812" (173 mm) blade length 2.938" (75 mm) blade steel H-1length closed 4" (102 mm) cutting edge 2.5" (64 mm) weight 2 oz.

A great knife! Design is perfect for carrying in the waistband of jogging shorts or swim-wear, it's longer clip holds the knife secure, even when active and the handle length is sized right to not cause any discomfort while wearing. Being waterproof, no discoloration due to water or sweat. Also, the larger hole makes the blade easier to engage.A great EDC self-defense knife for active individuals while on the water or jogging. It's not a great blade design for general use however. Also the larger hole, while enabling a quick deployment of the blade, does cause I've found some fouling when pulling the knife from the traditional front pocket carry. Also, while the longer clip seems to cause no issue with a waist-line carry, does seem to catch a little when drawing from the pocket.A great knife, very sharp and quick, that fits a specific purpose. Would highly recommend to anyone who wants to have a rust-proof, self-defense blade available while around the water or jogging. I initially questioned my purchasing the bright yellow handle compared to the black, but since I'm outside the majority of the time when carrying the knife, it's easy to spot to retrieve if dropped.
