I am not going to get too technical on stating grades of knife steel, blade design, type of knife and so on and so forth. I am sure if you are buying a knife you are fairly familair with this type of information.
What I am going to review is how does this knife do on a day to day carry basis. First it has a nice apperarance and once you work with it some a fairly smooth action with satisfying clicks on opening and closing.
So why two stars – to put it simple you can sharpen it carry it around a couple of weeks and it feels like you have been sawing rope all day. The upshot to it is I own six Spyderco knives and this is common to all the straight edge models up to my top of the line titanium handle VG 10 blade model. The one little one that has the full serrated edge works very well in being and staying sharp.
All together I own well over a 100 pocket knives running the gamet from Benchmade to Maxxum and this is the only knife line that I have this problem with. So if you are considering a Syderco look at the full or at least partly serrated blade otherwise, unless you have a love affair going with a Lansky sharpner, avoid.

Great knife – perfect for carring in my back pocket when out on the road, on the bike. Can cut through almost anything. Had this years ago, some idiot stole it, and I was so glad they still made it.

I’ve carried a “Plain-Edge” for many years…so I will review that knife:
Very long blade ( almost 4-1/4″), super-smooth action, a tight locking mechanism, and the VG-10 steel takes (and holds). a sweet edge…The thin profile (1/4″ thick) may take some getting used to….but it’s well worth it.
For the same quality in a slightly smaller package, look at the knife my wife carries, the (Stainless) Spyderco “Endura”.
Endura 4, Stainless Steel Handle, Plain
One note: Apply some loc-tite to the screws holding the clip on, as they will loosen if you don’t.
6-Stars.

Quite a classy blade to have around. Everything to expect out of a Spyderco.

As the names implies, it is what’s now known as a “tactical knife”, designed no doubt for law enforcement & military personnel. Its long, relatively straight & slender blade renders it best for slashing & thrusting. It lacks the “belly” for a skinning knife although its sharp point might serve as a “caping” tool for a trophy. Since it’s somewhat narrow it might not be the first choice for a heavy-duty survival knife but if pressed into service it should be a big help nonetheless. Since it’s over 4″ in length it might be illegal in many venues. It would be prudent to check before carrying one in locales where their police are skittish about having anyone not in their profession possessing one. As with nearly all Spyderco products, it is of excellent quality, especially with the newer VG-10 steel.
