- Reviewed in the United States on November 7, 2024I have this knife and bought it for my friend for his birthday since I liked it so much. This knife fits well in the hand and is super thin which makes it especially great for food prep. I use this as my travel kitchen knife since I'm on the road for 6 months out of the year and hotel knives are crap. This processes onions, cuts chicken, slices through 5 slabs of thick cut bacon with ease. The leather sheath is ok. The handle adds flair and looks great and stays in the hand even when wet. The stainless is great and requires minimal cleaning. My blade is still sharp after 2 months of use. The price point is great for the quality of this knife. If you are on the fence, buy it. You won't be disappointed.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 24, 2020Yes, I know it's got "Made In China" on the blade. But set it side by side with some of SpyderCo's more pricey offerings and I defy you to tell the difference.
First off, it came out the box perfectly sharp. Razor sharp. Not kidding. It's the sharpest out of the box knife I ever bought, and I have some of the best... The edge is perfectly ground. The blade pattern is very good, useful as a hunting knife for sure, and great for EDC. It's not for heavy duty "bushcraft" duty--though it could handle some of the lighter tasks--but the pattern and construction makes it good for just about every thing else.
Second, fit and finish all-around is perfect. Really. I was astonished. The G-10 handles are perfectly smoothed out and perfectly aligned with a edges of the full tang blade. All screw heads? Perfect. Brass lanyard eye? Perfect. Don't know who's doing the hand finishing on this model--but they did a perfect job. Did I say "perfect" enough times? Maybe. But it's the only word that fits.
Third, The sheath is an outstanding, great looking black leather, belt hanger that fits perfectly.
Fourth, The Chinese made 8cr13Mov steel is said to be a sightly improved version of Japanese AUS-8, and from what I can see, it's a good steel. This knife blade came without blemish or stains, perfectly ground, and "shave your face" sharp. Time will tell on durability, but right now, edge retention is great, and the steel has a good reputation.
Fifth, Amazon had this knife shipped to me in a day. For free. It came a full four days before Amazon said it would--packed up tight, via the USPS. (Now this might be because they had to cancel a previous order a few weeks ago because of a fraudulent third party seller--I'm told they keep track of such things and expedited this order to make up for it. Whatever the reason, it came fast.
So, Total cost was $40. For everything.
For that money--I can't possibly think of a better choice.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 1, 2025I'm really pleased with the overall quality/style of this knife. It came with a nice edge out of the box, not really razor, razor sharp but the knife would shave hair off my arm and slice thru a piece of paper. I'll clamp it on my KME and get the edge polished up without having to spend a lot of time working on it.
The sheath seems ok, but I would rather it have been a polymer sheath even if the cost was a little more.
IMO, for $51.45, I think it's a deal. It will definitely be used for slicing my steaks at the dinner table along with a lot of other uses.
Now the down side - The knife didn't look used, but the box had been opened. On the blade they were fingerprints so it had be handled. Was it a return, IMO it may have been, someone had definitely handled the knife.

- Reviewed in the United States on December 15, 2024I was dissapointed to see this is a chinese made spyderco allthough in hindsight for the price and brand it makes sense. That being said it has immediately become my favorite fixed blade knife. Im not going to split a log with it but its my go to backpack knife for food prep and family visits ( they never have sharp knifes in the kitchen). Do i look like a douch when i show up with my purrty spyderco to help my mom make diner? Yes i do. But it is a perfect multi purpose cooking knife for any kinda food prep. Sheath is ok. Its just cheap leather. Handle could have a bit more texture for an outdoor knige but its perfect for what i use it for. The little finger dip also makes it a great cooking knife because i feel comfterble choking up on the blade if im scraping something or cutting shapes. I wish they made a whole set with this design concept. A full sized chef knife and a santoku with this handle and metal and finish would be a game changer. I have large hands for a woman. Medium mens gloves and large or extra large in womans and the handle fits well in my hand. I would give full 5 stars if they could manage a made in america vesion with either a kydex or better leather sheath for within 30 dollars of this price.

- Reviewed in the United States on July 26, 2024This is a genuine Spiderco article as far as I can tell although it was mfg in Asia not Colorado. It is well made, flawless and sharp as a razor. The materials are not particularly exotic but more than adequate for the purpose. This is a small fixed blade and just perfect for opening mail snd packages. Ive been using it several months almost daily and it has kept its edge and met my expectations for a very reasonable price. No complaints. Amazon delivered this in several days and Im very satisfied with the item.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 20, 2024Classic style knife and sheath. Great quality. Stitching in leather sheath looks to be sturdy. I have smaller hands and this knife fits them well.
