I’ve been watching the Strizh closely lately. You might say drooling. Think a small is likely my next purchase.
That’s a beauty you’ve got!

Thank you for the kind words! I'd been wanting one for awhile, and when one dropped last week I was finally in a position to swoop in. It's such an elegant, simple knife that will be perfect for office EDC, it'll definitely be in my pocket tomorrow. I do recommend them. Have to say, it's kicked a carbon fiber Atom out of my pocket and I think it's going to be going on the chopping block next week as a result. It just does some things better that I really appreciate. I wish you success on your hunt for yours!

Hmmm, interesting that you mention that, as the atom has gotten 80% off my pocket time this week (excluding weekends at the cabin…where I have different choices in the drawer). Now I’m doubly intrigued by the Strizh.

Here's a quick comparison shot before I head out for the night, to give you an idea of how they stack up:

My first Spyderco. This PM2 is pretty good. Compression lock is amazing. I've had plenty of good production folders, Benchmades, ZTs etc and most of my focus has been mid techs but this is a keeper. What took me so long to get one? I wasn't sold on the Spidy hole and flick.....I am now.

I like it but I moved the pocket clip to tip up right handed and 2 of the 3 screws are "loose" and won't tighten. I ordered a deep carry clip with screws and I hope that fixes it. My only complaint is the compression lock is hard on the fingers.....

btw....the factory edge is very sharp. I stropped it with 4 strops from 4k to 32k and it scored a 115 on my Bess Sharpness tester. Almost double edge razor sharp....

Did you check the tips of screws to see if there stripped ? Hopefully that’s the case or it’s stripped in the handle and that wouldn’t be good. If it’s the screws I’m sure spyderco will send you some there very good about that type of stuff. Did you buy it new or used ? If used I hope the previous owner didn’t strip them out. You never want to crank down on them I just use some blue loctite very sparingly and just snug them up gently. Here’s a picture of mine with a MXG DP clip that I really like to.The compression lock doesn’t give me any issues as far as comfort but that’s just me. I’ve had a few when I just sat on the couch and flicked them for hours my finger got a little sore lol while watching TV 😁
But normal fidgeting and use it’s very comfortable for me but I do use both hands as far as switching off because I’m a dominant lefty in a right handed world lol.

I was roaming around BF a couple of weeks ago and saw an Atom someone posted. I'd looked at them a few times before but didn't feel the need to chase the drop. Anyway after seeing the one a couple of weeks ago I went to their website and shock of shocks they had some in stock so I grabbed one, checked a few hours later and they were all gone. I have been carrying it for over a week now and really like how slim and light it is not to mention my favorite blade steel. Simple straight forward knife on washers with good steel, there's a lot to like. My only issue was the sharpness of the corners on the scales but I fixed that quick with a couple of passes with 600 grit paper. And by far the sharpest out of the box knife ever.

Did a bit of rose bush pruning this morning.
