The problem with some of the knives with stainless handles is that the quality of the blades steel seems to decrease. For example, the Delica and Endura(zytel) have ATS-55 blades and the stainless versions have AUS-6 blades. I do not know enough about the two to know if there is a big difference ...

Plain or Serrated and why?

I realize that the plain and serrated blades have different uses, but I was curious to find out the personal opinions of the Spyderco fans on this forum. The question is: What type of blade do you like to use the most and how does it come in handy for you? Thanks for your input. This will help me ...

Does anyone have any comments on the "Rookie"?

I know it's a smaller version of the Police, but I would like some positive or negative feedback from anyone who has one. Could it be used as an everyday carry? Thanks,

Matt

I need advice on the purchace of my first Syderco.

I would really like to buy my first Spyderco folding knife that has a removable clip. I am looking for an everyday knife to clip to my pocket. I think I want to start out with a plain edge blade, but will probably make my second purchase a serrated. I am not sure about the different grades of steel ...
