I personally prefer good quality liner locks. Both lock designs have their uses. Which one do you prefer, and why?

My favorite non-Spyder folder has got to be the Emerson CQC7b. It fits my hand just right, and I consider the design to be nothing less than a work of art.

Thanks for the info Sal. I still have a lot to learn about Spyderco's products and lingo. I've been an Emerson fan for years, but I am starting to appreciate the quality and design of Spyderco. My Endura 50/50 has yet to let me down and is in my pocket all the time.

Ernest Emerson (the custom knife maker of Emerson Knives) knows that in some situations it necessa...

Useless clip on old Endura

I have an old, discontinued Endura (titanium coated blade of some sort) with the old-style plastic pocket clip on it. The knife is an excellent tool, however the clip is just about worn out. It has fallen out of my pocket several times, primarily when I wear lightweight clothing. I've heard that Spy...
