You can with this thing all day long and ever feel like your using a meat clever to peel an apple, something that happens quite often with bigger knives.
#Strider knives special edition full
It feels like a sub-3 inch folder thanks to the nested liners and impressively tapered full flat grind. No other knife carries so small yet is actually so big. I think there is good reason to believe that this, not the Worker, the Delica, or the Cal圓, is the finest Spyderco design ever, a lofty statement given Spyderco’s impressive design history. This is thanks to great steel and an amazing, amazing design. This is the Ariel Atom of the bunch–the cheapest and most stripped down of the knives on this list, but like the Ariel Atom, it punches well above its price hanging with the big dogs with ease. Now there are no fewer than five excellent options.
That significantly alters the equation which used to be Sebenza and Strider.
For example, two years ago Jon Graham did a run of small Razels and they were amazing–great quality decent materials and a good price ($350 table). In part this is because the mid-tech market and high end production market have expanded significantly. In terms of knives for around $300, there are a ton of choices, so many that I believe is necessary to devote a whole article, just to the knife choice of this pair. After all–why bother when the Sebenza is so damn good. Making a knife that is $300 but fails in a comparison to the Chris Reeve icon is just a bad idea. Getting a knife more expensive than this is a concerted effort and honestly, if a knife is even close to $300 (or more) it will always be compared, for better or worse, to the Sebenza. Now there are whole brands where the product line is more expensive, but for many years, this was it.Īnd to a certain degree it still is. In a market where the Delica and the Mini Grip were high end, the Sebenza was ludicrously expensive. For many years, it was THE most expensive.
The Sebenza, from Chris Reeve Knives, is one of the most historically important production knives of the last 50 years. With this edition, we have arrived at a very important price point in the market–the Sebenza Barrier.
