Spyderco Forums

Holey crap!(couldn't resist the pun) I thought I had a few knives. Nice collection.

I like the larger blade on the Military but on the flip side the CQC7 has dual titanium liners plus G-10 scales. I am not to crazy about the chisel grind but it is easy to sharpen and seems to have more metal near the tip to reinforce it. Maybe its not the size of the blade but how you use it.

I thought this might be a good topic of discussion given I can't afford a Military right now and a own a BM Emerson CQC-7B. (Bought a few years ago when I had money and no kids) How would you compare a Military vs the BM/ Emerson or the current Emerson CQC-7B. Here are the facts: Spyderco Military B...

Yester5,

Don't hold back. Tell me how you really feel. (Ha Ha) I wasn't planning on buying it I just thought it looked cool. Is it really that bad of a knife?

This is the Cold Steel Ti-Lite.

It designed to look like a 50's style switch blade. I thought it looked pretty cool.

I have no side to side play.

I just bought an FRN CE Delica for EDC at the fire house. I love the knife. I compared it to some of the other knives I own and it is top notch. You are able to pack a lot of blade into a small handle. But the blade isn't so big it is intimidating. The SS model feels realy nice in your hand but I de...

I did a little research and found that a lot of web sites are comparing AUS6 to 440A. They go on to describe 440A as low grade steel found on cheaper knives. I find it hard to belive that a company like Spyderco would use cheap steel. What is the general opinion? Also,if Sal could comment on this, i...

How about

1. Assist
2. Persian
3. Chinook
4. Millitary (Maybe I have a large blade with my SS Endura.)

I love my SS PE Dragonfly. It is my EDC for the office. I switch to my newly purchased CE FRN Delica for the firehouse.

I noticed the other day that I can hardly find the pivot pins when looking at the SS handle of my Dragonfly. However, when looking at the SS handle on my Endura the pivot pins are very easy to spot. They fit flush but are just easy to see. Is this purely cosmetic or could this effect the knive loose...

Sal, As hard use kives, how would you rate the SS AUS6 Delica and Endura to some of the G10 Titanium handle, ATS-34(or equivalent steel) knives offered on the the market? I have two of the really expensive folders and I think the feel and quality of the SS Delica and SS Endura are superb. I would ac...

I like tip up. For the obivious reasons I can't carry my FRN Delica or Dragonfly tip down (won't let me) but I like the fact that the butt of the knife is the first thing you touch. I switched the clip on my SS Endura for that reason plus it seems that less steel/handle sticks out of your pocket(at ...

I would have to agree with chux. Except mine would be a CE SS Endura. However, I do own I knife that my father gave to me when I was little that I might be more inclined to bring along. It is an early 80's Buck 110 Folding Hunter with finger grooves. The steel on the early 80's Buck Knives seems bet...

LJK,

It was my Eclips and Mini-Stryker. The play on both is back to front.

Cool to hear. I have a SS CE Edura with AUS6. I love the knife but all this talk of VG-10 made me think I made a bad choice.

Steve, One of the guys at the staion has that S&W Knife and after very little use the thing seems to be falling apart. After holding the Assist it seems rock solid and made extremely well. I also carry a CRKT KISS clipped to the outside of my Turnout Gear in case the need for a "pointy"...

Thanks for all the input. Reading all the postings over the last few months led to me buying the Spydies I own now. It took a while to decide to get into the discussions.

I am a Volunteer Fire Fighter in Delaware and I was thinking about a new rescue knife. I currently carry in my gear a Gerber Gator because of the big handle. I was at a knife shop the other day (buying my Delica) and a saw the Assist. It seems like a well made and well thought out knife. I like the ...

CKE,

I agree the Emerson/BM is one heck off a kife but I was comparing it to my SS Endura and I actually like the feel and overall design of the Endura better. I am sure there are quite a few people that will disagree with me.
