Handle Material

Zytel is tough stuff. I've heard people say it feels cheap but if you break the zytel handle on a Spyderco folder you're doing something with a folder that you probably shouldn't even be doing with a fixed blade. For the price point it's amazing stuff. You'll pay a lot more for G-10 or carbon fiber and I'm not sure you'll get a lot more in performance.

These days I lean towards traditional pocket knives but I've carried more zytel knives, and for longer, than any titanium or G-10 handled knife. Never had a problem with zytel.
