I have a few Spyderco knives and this one is probably my favorite so far. It's lightweight and fits very comfortably in my pocket. Arrived VERY sharp and the VG10 steel should maintain an edge for a while. The 4-way position of the pocket clip allows for left or right hand carry, either tip up or down. The Wharncliffe blade shape is built to slice into material with precision and accuracy. I wouldn't call this a heavy duty blade but for EDC it's a winner.
