Is this to be built with American, Japanese, or other steel? "High Speed", Tool, Stainless, Carbon Steel? Flat, Convex, Saber, Hollow Grind? Personally, my feelings are that if it supposed to be a user and everyday knife, and not a collector knife, you may have to keep the price down. I ce...

"Utility" knives don't come with a MBC rated lock and indexing divots. So this puts it in the same category as the Yojimbo and Gunting. It can be used for the most mundane tasks, but was designed around self defense. Just like the original Temperance. Which also has the indexing divots. Bu...

Well, I didn't have to sharpen it, but I do carry it regularly. I like the blade shape, and it is very small in the pocket

I have a theory. When folks discover Spyderco, they usually have seen a current, production model. And that's what they buy first. Maybe their local knife shop only carries current models, so that might be all they know about. But when they start doing a little research, and begin shopping around on...

1. Military SE in 440V 2. Police SE in VG-10 3. PE Manix in S30V Anytime I carry these three, I feel completely confident in cutting anything and everything.
