Yeah, I like the Amalgam, even though I haven't mastered avoiding the flipper tab as the blade closes.

The Amalgam is one of my favorite knives. Did mine with a Lynch Blue clip and custom blue Ti hardware. Closing it is easy once you get used to unlocking and just pulling your finger back up as you flip it closed.

Hey Dan, the only Amalgam I have is in my gob, filling holes in teeth, mate.

Thank you and big thanks to Spyderco. I like the blade shape sorta has a Kephardt flavor . Dan

If you are a one knife sort of person, the Amalgam could easily be the one. I should have grabbed a second one.

Have to say that is what I think of the knife myself . Very well designed for a lot of tasks just not excelling at just one . Very thoughtful comment . Dan

Already posted this in the choil discussion thread, but I feel it should be copied here as well, for anyone scrolling this thread and thinking of buying an Amalgam.

A really well-done choil that I actually like is the choil on the Amalgam. If you haven't yet had the joy of encountering an Amalgam in person, I've attached some photos to demonstrate (with Police 4 as contrast). You can see that the choil on the Police is large and jimped, and would absolutely snag any material that happens to catch on it during use. You can also see that the choil on the Amalgam is super thin and shallow, and not snaggy at all; any material that lands there will just slide right off the choil and onto the blade. It's blunt enough to be safe for your fingers to curl around if you want to use the choil, but if you prefer to hold your knife on the normal handle area, the outstanding thinness and slipperiness of the choil means that it basically disappears in use -- no snagging, you still feel like you've got a full blade's worth of cutting edge. The little point where the choil transitions into the edge can even work almost like a serration, gives a little extra bite to your cuts. This style of choil is FANTASTIC and I'd love to see it on more models.
