I don't have any Spydercos, and might want to jump in the shallow end of their pool without going nuts. At 40-ish dollars, affordable, and worth it?
I have liked their designs for many years, just never taken the plunge.
Its great. It fits what i was looking to do with the boxes and what not. The 8cr13mov will rust on you if you dont keep it wiped wown with rem or 3in1 oil. Im in florida and it doesnt get much more humid and ive only had an issue with one of my 8cr13mov knives. Avoid saltwater like the plague. So far with the minor things ive used it for edge retention is decent. Its very easy to sharpen. and for ~$40 for a knife with a 4+ inch blade id say you cant beat it if your looking into spydies. The G10 i would say is light to medium if you get sweaty hands it will lock in better. comes out fast and locks up strong.

Ill tell you what, if you do buy it and you dont like it ill buy it from you.

How badass would I be dual wielding resiliences?!
