Opinel No. 12 vs Spyderco Tenacious G-10

The blade came sharp, but as a professional sharpener, I made it sharper up to 10,000 grit utilizing a Chocera stone. The blade length is more like a #10 Opinel - which is fine for me. The locking mechanism works well - even better than wood handle Opinels which opens with a bit more resistance. The lanyard works well

The Spyderco "bug" and company name seems to be etched into the blade. This is a nice touch, many of Spyderco's competitors appear to use an ink or dye for blade logos. With that said, quality control was asleep at the wheel with my knife because the etching on my knife is offset when compared to others. Recently, my knife was put to the test when we had to cut the rear window out of a truck(I know,use the proper tool, and no,I did not lock my keys in the truck)

Definitely NOT an Every Day Carry. Weight 5.3 oz, length 6", no clip. I am putting it with my camping gear

Put you right here. It holds up, it's in the same ballpark size wise. I mean, obviously the CQC9K is beefier, but it's a decent size blade. Let's go o...

You know just the normal one and save yourself like 30 bucks, so not impressed. I will have links in description below over to Amazon for these. If yo...

The Para 3 you're getting over $100 at that point, but frankly, if all you can afford is the 50 bucks, I would say go with one of these knives, don't ...

It's a big knife and a little unwieldly. I tried batoning it for some kindling. It'll do in a pinch but I think for processing wood I'd rather use an axe or a fixed blade knife.

For the durability I was looking for, I thought I needed a little weight. Now currently I am carrying a Buck Ghost Rider. It was a Buck/Strider colaboration and I really liked the look. But it did not perform as well as I thought

If you ask me all right so now we got all those chunks there. So now what I want to do is just take them all off. Take them all off, got ta, make arro...

Now this knife is, I don't know, I guess you'd call it a mid-size pocket knife. It's, let's see, measurements-wise, it is around, it's a little bit, a...

I have no problem with that, but a knife. This way you can see. It's pretty big, and this sticks out the end here and my hand is all palm no fingers a...

The handle scales are the oh-so-popular G-10, which is kind of an epoxy-fiberglass concoction. They feel tough, dry, and grippy, but not too rough. The edges of the scales are chamfered for comfort. They could be more rounded, but are fine as-is
