Have not heard much buzz on spyderco models Chicago and Cat?

I keep hearing too small or quality is not quite there...50> I think the materials and design is amazing for the price point. Still waiting on the dealer I ordered from to receive their batch.

Anyone else want to throw in their 2 cents with personal experience?
Not used to hearing spydies get dinged...
 
The cat is my favorite edc right now. Perfect size and looks.
The weight is ideal, I really like the thickness of the blade (thinner).
The tip is very pointy, good for piercing but fragile.
Love the finger chole.
The biggest con of mine is it has kind of a weak lock on it if opened lightly.
Wonder how hard it is to sharpen....
Like I said favorite after work edc right now out of

I've been looking to pick up a Chicago, but haven't done it yet. Haven't heard too much about it, so its preventing me from purchasing one.

finally some posts! hah
Thanks guys for the input, I still have both on order so I will throw my 2 cents in once I receive and use em' a bit. Leanin towards the cat a bit more than the Chicago, but nonetheless will be added to the collection.
 
I have both and they are great. Neither have any F&F isues and they lock up like tanks. I really like them.

Just picked up a Chicago 2nd at a good price. Bought it because I like my Navigator and Ladybug and it's about the same size. We'll see how it feels with a liner lock.
 
I have both. I prefer the Cat but both are quite nice for the money. I can't think of any knives that can top S30V and CF for under 50.00 bucks:thumbup: I can say after carrying the Cat for awhile my Paramilitary looks like a broad sword!
 
Where are you guys getting your Cats? Every place I've looked is on back order or is pre-order only.
 
Still waiting on my 2nd CAT from the SFO sale. Friend has not had time to ship it I guess.
 
I (impulsively) picked up two Chicagos back when they were available, but I haven't done anything with them, as they just can't compete with my Lava for pocket time...
 
I really like the Cat.

Really want to get my hands on one!

The two I had ordered are currently being disputed due to a seller that flaked and fled.
