Spyderco Spur review

[VampyreWolf]

Spur review, day one
Blade:
2.5" drop point, just about perfect for a working knife. Plenty of grip options, can get very fine tip control. Blade is nicely centered when closed.

Handle:
best case scenario it's a 3 finger knife with my mitts. Either thumb along the spine and my pinky floats out on space or my index is along the spine and it's locked into my hand.

Lock:
Smooth, solid, no play. But that's typical with a stainless spydie.

Overall:
This may almost be the perfect work knife. Granted, the Spin and Lava will knock it down a couple notches as the 3 fight for top spot, but at least for now it's the perfect one. Small enough in your pocket, both in profile and thickness.

Get one while you can. Small enough to not cause stampedes, should be big enough to do most of your daily cutting(should be good for pretty much everything but food).

Spur 2 week review
Ok, had this baby for 2 weeks and love it.

The more I use it the more I love it. despite not getting a full hand grip on it(if you don't count 3 on the handle, index on the spine, and it's not going anywhere).

Smooth, tank-like lockup(that nice solid CLICK that a stainless spydie always gives off). The lock is getting annoying with the sharp edges, might sandpaper or dremel those smooth(one of the many reasons I don't like the dent).

The 2.5" blade hasn't caused any shock among sheeple yet. It's only "short" coming is when you want to cut food. Makes a hell of a mess to cut apart a mango with it http://spyderco.com/forums/images/smilies/tongue.gif http://spyderco.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif

Hate to say it but if I can get a kydex sheath for this sucker it MAY just replace the dragonfly as my 24/7 carry. Just may be the perfect knife(so far, waiting for a spin and lava).
