Lookin at the Chinook I'm concerned about tip strength. I don't want to be afraid to pry open a stuck window or remove a tire from its rim with my knife. As for the mini-manix it looks like it may have the tip strength and it definitely has the lock strength. Gonna have to handle one to see if it's a match. Any other Spydies you'd suggest for heavy duty abuse. And Whitefeather is right, although my CQC lock has never failed me, there are better systems out there (that was hard to admit to).

You might want to check out the A.T.R. as it has a more robust tip. I hate to say it, but I moved away from Spyderco for hard-use, because I felt their most rugged knives lacked in tip strength. Give the Mini Manix a sheepsfoot or tanto blade option and they'd be there with Striders, IMO.

I got a Para a couple of days ago and it is built to take a lot of hard use. I owned an Emerson a few years ago and I would say the Para is its equal.
