I have two Spyderco carry knives, had them for probably 10-12 years, still look like new. Spyderco offers free resharpening too, which is badass considering the serrated blade.

I'm sure there are better knives out there, but I've had Bucks, Gerbers, S&W, and a Kershaw, and every time I need a carry knife, I always go with my Spydercos because even after an hour or so on the stone, none of the others can touch the sharpness.

These guys:

Microtechs are production . Some of the sharpest I have ever touched. I have carried a Chris English base model knife for about 5 years. Best knife I have ever had. I traded a Ruger 10/22 for it. Before it I carried a bench made.

I do have 4 other Chris English knives that I leave in my showcase for sale. Too nice to carry.

just picked up a 5.11 tactical karambit folder. metal compares to spyderco blade quality, razor ship wicked wicked curve. i modified the top of the blade with my dremel, to where i get the blade to snag on my pocket and open automatically when i pull the knife out of my pocket.

I didn't know Spyderco's customer service is so good, I'm sending mine back for a full makeover!

Yep, $5 to cover return shipping IIRC. I had chipped one of the serrations on my delica 2 blade, and they reshaped that tip. Looks like new again and I could even shave with it

$5 for basic reconditioning. Mine (I paid $4) was run over by a steam roller and dragged 100yds. $25 to retore it to near new condition. Still a good deal for me on a $135 blade

Run over by a steam roller and dragged 100 yards, that's all?
