I bought Spyderco Military G10 in a shop near my hotel on Nakano in Japan several months ago. The knife was wrapped in a Spyderco black and red traditional box. After holding the knife for the first time I saw why they said it is so difficult to resist this toy. It is beautiful, very big, and very sharp. Syderco had a philosophy as Design for your hands, not for your eyes but in this particular knife I think they design for both. The blade is well known for maintaining its sharpness and its durability. The heat treatment is around 59. The handle is G10 which also maintains a good grip and the lock blade is also of high quality. The G10 scales and the satin finish are flawless. The centering and materials are also flawless. Everything is flawless. I always feel such confident when rambling on here with this tool in my pocket.
spyderco military g10 review, spyderco military for saleIf something you can put your trust on, it should be the 4 length S30V steel blade. The blade sat perfectly centered in the handle. S30V is fantastic blade steel used on this knife. It is strong, resistant to corrosion, takes a wicked sharp edge. Anyone who owns a Spydercos products knows how sharp they are delivered. It isn't surgical scalpel sharp, no pocket knife is, but this is by far the sharpest I've ever seen. And it holds its edge very well. The S30V steel blade is strong enough to help you do hard works event in the wild. I've cut plastic strapping, open food cans, shave piece of wood to make sticks and the edge is still sharp enough to make the hair jump off my arm. Very impress! I dont want to abuse this knife like my fixed blades because its beautiful and just a folding knife (and its not cheap). However, Id read other reviews on Google and look like Spyderco Military G10 can deal with those hardcore tasks.
The thumb hole on the blade is a big enough to work well with gloves or bare hands. The Spyderhole is something that you either love or hate. If you're not used to it, it might seem odd at first. Use it for a while and you'll never want anything else. This one seems slightly larger than most and I think that it was designed for use with gloves. Both opening and closing can be done with one hand which is a great feature. It will be a little tight at first, but give it a good lube job and work the lubricant in by cycling the knife a few hundred times (seriously) and it will become very smooth.
The blade rides on buttery smooth, low friction phosphor bronze washers. It swings up, hits the stop pin and the liner lock slides into a notch in the tang. Disengaging the lock and supplying a light flick of the wrist sends the knife swinging closed. Very nice being able to open and close with one hand. Simply pull it out of your pocket by gripping the hole in the blade with thumb and the clip with your forefinger, give the knife a gentle downward snap while keeping your grip on the blade, and the Spyderco Military G10 opens. During this movement, the knife is mostly concealed by your hand so there is no flashy and intimidating blade flicking going on.
The G10 handle is beautiful. Moreover, its functionally superior. The grip texture is awesome. No worries of it shredding my spyderco military g10 review, spyderco military for salepockets, but it grips amazingly. The bright silver pocket clip, standard spoon style, works excellently and is 4 way positionable. Left/right, tip up/down. I wish all pocket knives can do this. It carries fairly deep, about a half inch or so sticks up above the pocket in the tip up orientation. Not too bad. The steel liners are aggressively skeletonized, reducing weight quite a bit. This knife doesn't weigh you down. The overall grip easily accommodates my hands.. A+ on the handle and ergonomics.
The ergonomics of this knife are just amazing. It fits in the hand so naturally and can be gripped comfortably is a variety of positions, up and down. The hand feeling blows away other folding knives I've ever tried in this regard. If carried tip down as it comes from the factory, it is also has the most intuitive, swift and discrete deployment of any knife I've seen. While no folder can be as strong as a fixed-blade knife, this one comes close. Once it's locked, one would have to put a lot of effort into making it close unintentionally. A LOT of effort... The kind that would more accurately be called abuse. I usually use my knife in daily tasks or business (I have a ton of carton boxes to check everyday), so this is important to me. You can open any Spyderco folder like this, but with the way the Military is designed, it just works better. Anyway, I could go on and on about how awesome this knife is, I carry it 99% of the time and feel bereft on those rare occasions when I don't have it on me.
I have a collection of best survival knives which I found and test by myself. 90% are fixed blade. I also have got a few high end priced knives to include Busse and Chris Reeve. Theyre rarely found on the market today. I almost dont care about folding knives except for small SAKs for daily EDCs, until I pick up Spyderco Military knife. It was the best Spyderco design ever.
