Turns out she worked as a knife dealer previously.
Very nice I do agree that serrations are great for that! Lovely knifes. And honestly I think spydercos are the underrated knife of the knife world. Everyone knows about kershaw, gerber, SOG etc. but spyderco hasn't been picked up by retailers yet, so there economy line with the tenacious and others they would be HIT sellers in Walmart and I'm sure the delica(which is a f'n amazing edc knife. 2.2 oz and paper thin are you kidding me??) and endura would be great sellers too just not on par with their economy line.

I LOVE the way sog does there aus8 steel.. Excellent work with that steel, I think it's the best aus8 of the knife world.. Some competition to the sog flash 2 that you might wanna look into:
Spyderco endura(if all you want to carry a knife for is to cut things and not self defense don't even remotely hesitate buy this knife)
Spyderco tenacious
SOG flashback
Kershaw lineup of knives.
SOG zoom is just amazing
And the trusty ol' sog trident is going great after 4 years of absolute hell.

Here's some stats
Dude that is one sexy ass knife... 8.5" tanto blade??? And the spine is sharpened for extra piercing capabilities???? That's what I would want on my belt if I was in a bad situation.

One grip is 440c steel.. Slap some 154cm steel on there and I'm set. What has been your take on edge retention and ease of sharpening?
