The knife is well put together, feels solid, has great traction on the scales, and comes razor-sharp in the box.

This is my first partial serrated knife since I started my knife hobby over 10 years ago. I took a chance because I knew the blade length was long enough to enjoy some serrated edge. To my surprise, the Spydie edge was extremely sharp, being able to glide through paper when caught in one of the teeth. The only tiny grip I have is it’s off centered and cannot be centered no matter the method. But knowing the China factory from Spyderco, I expected it. Still highly recommendable
