Cheapest Spyderco Knives
S30V is a very popular blade steel developed by Crucible Materials Corporation that is used in a large number of modern EDC and folding knives. What makes S30V knives so popular?

Spyderco Harpy Plain Edge
Archimedes wrote:I like a serrated knife and think the hawk bills are best when serrated. I feel the hawk bill is more of a self defense tool and not a knife I carry to really cut anything. I prefer to keep the edge factory sharp and unused. I am currently carrying a FRN Stretch in VG10 that is fully serrated and it is really fun to use. It slices amazing with serrations. It…

Spyderco Survival Knives
A dog is a man’s best friend, and his knife is a close second. With that said, I am often surprised when price is used as the limiting criteria of a new blade.
