Re: Your favorite Features of Spyderco Knives in Ranked Order
I don't know about being in order, but I appreciate the following:
- Sal's willingness to listen to customer requests and his overall transparency
- H1
- Thinly ground edges compared to competitors
- Every knife is always sharp and ready to go right out of the box
- G-clips
- Their fixed blade sheaths typically have excellent retention
- They offer many lightweight models, both folding and fixed
- Opening hole
- Bringing back discontinued models
- The amount of backlocks they make compared to most modern knife makers
- Their pocket clips seem consistently well done.
