I wish they would do serrations on the compact version. Imagine the attacker had thick clothes on. I mean serrations would do a much better job

Theres a few Spydercos out there with some unique features that seemingly only design/engineering nerds realize. For example, the opposing internal stop pins in the Swayback and the clutched coil spring to create close bias in the Szabo Folder are both "smarter" designs than this, IMO.

So cool.

That’s the old Spartan, the new Spartan has a full flat grind which makes the knife look plain.

Want

This blade is the definition of _wicked._

I shortened the upper guard on my GI Tanto for the same reason, and it made a world of difference in hand. I'm looking at the Kyoto II as a horizontal carry. Not too long, and the handles aren't too thick or too thin. Add a Tec-Loc and this might be great for scout style carry. Great review and appreciate your honest opinions.

I have a few of cobras switch blades, absolutely love the company and have the abalone trapper in 154CM, beautiful knife

their entire new fixed blade line is awesome (EF121 to 147). their folders will blow you away, too. and they have big bangers like the EF904/905/906. beware of KAS (knife acquisition syndrome). edit: 6:30 you can slide this button to the side to secure it.

I'm so glad that you are doing actual reviews again. I don't mean to sound like a tool but i absolutely hate when people just make shorts every day and I refuse to watch/support that. Glad you're back to making some! 😊😁🙋🏻‍♂️👍🏻👌🏻🤷🏻‍♂️ I have a few eafengrow knives and they are all great quality for the money for sure the folding knives are good also.

Want something a lot cheaper, looks good and has a better blade steel? Check out the Ruike P155. It has a 3 1/2 inch long blade made of 14C28N. It's also Persian inspired and is a manual. Also has a flipper tab and dual thumb studs. .

I bought one just to add to my collection. Blade steel is Sandvik 12C27. I wish they went all the way and used 14C28N.

Thats actually pretty reasonable. And its good quality?

Needs a 7 1/2 blade...

Have the black one best thing ever

Where did you buy this from? I want one!

🫡💯

I got mine in the mail today! Unfortunately it's raining today so can't get out to do some shopping yet, but it's definitely coming soon!

True

That needs some sharping I’m a knife collector

Sized just right.

Id get one if I had more bandaids ready.

Nice knife

Beautiful knife but why would you chop with a fighting knife. Not at all made for bushcrafting.

Valid criticism... my only gripe with CS is that some of the secure-ex sheaths dull the blade every time i pull the blade out or put it back in, and doesn't matter how carefully i do it trying to put the pressure on the spine avoiding edge hitting the sheat, or in knives like Recon 1 or Ti-lite the blade grind stops then there's this ridiculous thick spot of steel before the ricasso? Like it makes no sense, and makes sharpening unnecessarily hard.. Other than that i love CS knives and appreciate the unique features and the bomb proof durability, the super tight pocket clips is not good for daily use, but i like it in those situations that a looser clip might cause the knife to fall, like when im boating or biking etc...

As a Knife collector and user who owns litterally dozens of Cold Steel knives and dozens of spyderco knicves...... I disagree, syderco is no where near the level of cold steel, despite being WAY nmore expensive. Also, anyone knows from experience that you NEVER buy serrated blades for working or utility purposes unless they are disoposable....... You should know that working at a knife store, Id hate to think how many people you have told to buy serrated knives to trim their plants outside. Maybe yall are getting counterfeit cold steels from your supplier and just dont realize it because they are hands down the best production line knives on the maeket. They crap on spyderco dollar for dollar and pound for pound. In fact, spyderco blades go dull faster than most other cheaper Chinese brands out there in my very extensive experience with them.

What’s your opinion on the trail master and the leatherneck Lynn Thompson edition?

Is that real abalone with 154cm?

Thats going in the bugout bag

Looks great for kindling!

That tipis a trailing edge in ripping motion

Used to be my vest knife, still got it on the trophy board

jeez, that handle looks RIDICULOUSLY uncomfortable... the regular wood handles look super sexy though... seriouisly considering picking up this knife in wood

Carried one for years ,good blade wicked nasty bad edge !

That kubun clip always sucked! 🤣 something that should have been fixed ages ago. Too add, about people not buying cold steel knives I was once in the boat of hating the company because of their naming schemes that just gave them flea market vibes.

I like it. It looks a lot like a chopper im having a local guy make for me. I based the blade shape on the Subvert, but toned down the recurve.

That looks like the world's best bolo!

Rip Elijah Isham

Yeah thats not great howeverI still wouldn't want to get hit with it

I have the Tanto version in black. Great vest knife.

The police is a great knife, but its not even the best big knife that Spyderco makes, let alone _best_ big knife. Most people haven't handled a K2, Tatanka or even a Native Chief, so thinking its the best that Spyderco makes could be forgiven, but calling it the best big knife, in general, is just wild.

Crkt clever girl and pillar

Crkt minimalist

Dude I'm not trying to be a jack ass here but your technique is suspect.

Very nice I like

I love these so much that as soon as I got one I had to buy another one just to be safe. I recently had a custom kydex sheath made (with basket weave look it complements the design quite well) and now it really is the perfect edc fixed blade that you're never afraid to abuse or lose since it's so cheap. The steel isn't the worse, not great edge retention for hard tasks but it strops back good. I really hope that CS will make a special edition in 3V or some like that some day.

Appreciate honesty.

BLADE HQ as of 4/23/24 are still available 199.00$ that screw on sheath is a retention screw for custom draws!!
