Spyderco maybe?

[Ben Worthy]

Alright, so I’m looking at getting a nice knife. I currently carry a Kershaw Cryo and I like it but I’m thinking Spyderco. I like the looks of the paramilitary 2, manix 2, delica 4, shaman, and native 5. I really love the grey native.

Someone help me decide. Or give other options in the $150- range.
I’ll just cut everyday things with it- plastic, tape, cardboard, etc.
I would like something very sharp that holds its edge.

Benchmades can be had well under retail... $80-100 range

I personally like ZT's over Spyderco

They are built like tanks and are very heavy duty

Take a look at the 0350's! These can be found under $120 if you look.

Ben Worthy . I have a manix 2 and a couple Para 3's. if you like bigger blades, go with the manix2
the para series (1,2,3) are all exceptional and hold an edge well... the 3 is right @ a 3 inch blade and is a personal favorite. either way you'll be happy

0350 is nice but very wide and takes up a alot of pocket room. If your going with a ZT get the 0562 in G10 or the Carbon fiber for a few dollars more. Fantastic knife.

I preferred the 0350 over the others based on my EDC usage. I also didn't feel like it was too beefy and took up min pocket space but that was just me.

Hinderers XM18's Skinner is my preferred carry but a little higher on the spending spectrum

Adventure Outdoors in Symrna has a good selection of Benchmades. I only have one the Mini Loco 818.

Going Gear not too far from Adventures Outdoors carries a variety, benchmades/spyderco/ZT/Hinderer/We Knife/Rike/Boker/CRKT/Kershaw.

Buying/trading/selling/customizing in Knife World is almost as much fun as gun world.
