Strider PT
==========
I purchased this knife new a few weeks ago. I really thought I was going to keep this knife, so I put it to use in some everyday tasks. In the process, I managed to scuff up the blade a bit, but nothing too horrible.
The opening and closing action is very smooth.
Please be aware that there is a small amount of up and down blade play. Not extravagant, but, noticeable.

Spyderco Sage 3
=============
I purchased this knife new. I carried it once or twice. Opened a couple of packages with it. Still extremely sharp. Very smooth action opening and closing action. The bolt lock just isn't for me, although I really like how soft the knife feels when I'm opening it, compared to a liner or frame lock; its a nice contrast. Nothing bad to say about this knife.

Spyderco Chicago
==============
This one is just too small for me. I haven't carried it. It is a little stiff to open and a little stiff to unlock, but not too bad. One thing to note, the clip seems to be just a tad loose. After tightening the screw holding the clip to the scale all the way, it is still loose. I'm not at all concerned that the clip is going to fall off or come out. Rather, it bugs me in that it taps against the scale just a little. To replicate it, tap the knife against a finger and you can hear a little click. Now, put your finger on the clip and tap the knife on a finger, no click. Minor annoyance that I wanted to disclose to the potential buyer.

Spyderco Cricket Stainless Steel
=========================
I also purchased this one new. Also too small for me (you'd think I'd learn that I only like small knives in theory, not in practice). I don't thank I've cut anything with it. I did end up using it as a money clip for a few weeks, so it does have some scratches in the stainless steel, but not too bad in my opinion.
