Kershaw Orange vs. Spyderco Orange

[Wavester]

2 Heavyweights battling it out - and I was there to catch the action!

Nice!

Only thing the Kershaw is a trifle chunky, but it's still a nice knife.

Thanks for the comparison. Which texture do you like best?

 

[Reeek]

How have those Kershaw blade fusions held up over time? Has anyone given that seam a go for it's money before?

 

[Toyz]

How do you like the blade shape on the Kershaw? Is it fully functional or limited to chopping?

It looks like Kershaw and Spyderco have the same idea on what orange should look like! Both of my orange Tyrades got here Saturday, and I really like the dark orange color, and the contrast between the orange handle and black backspacer/screws/pocketclip. I say black pocketclip because I always cover my clips with black 3M Stair Step tape. great pics btw!

The only orange knife I have is the Spyderco millie and it is very nice.

Nice complementary pair. The Military has that full flat grind, pointy tip thing going on with low weight. The Kershaw is just the opposite. Sweet pix. :thumbup:

We've done serious internal stress tests on the CB blades, and have found them to quite durable in their strength. Have never had one come back broken. Hope that helps

That's good new. I'm awaiting a 3 piece CB: D2, 154CM, D2, it would look cool. Like a 154CM sandwich so it has a stripe on the middle.

which model is the kershaw?

The one that says Kershaw and doesn't have the huge Spyderhole in the blade. So the bottom one.

 

[Wavester]

which model is the kershaw?

I've used mine for fine slicing, and heavy cutting through wood and it's performed well for both. I even stabbed it through the casing of an old microwave just for kicks and grins and it didn't show mark. I'm very pleased with the way this knife performs for such a beefy blade.

G-10 Tyrade

I love the blade shape... The Kershaw Blur is one of my favorite knives and the Tyrade to me is like a bigger version of the Blur. Fully functional knife, good for more then just chopping...a good edc, though some (not myself) might find too heavy for that purpose.

Nice photo but how about a Kershaw Orange vs Rat Orange? I just wish the G10 would have had the grip grove things across the back of the blade (yeah I know... technical term, which I do not know the correct term for...gimping??) Other than that its a great knife.

Hard to pick between the 2...like choosing between Oranges and Oranges (heheheh like my choice of fruit! ) Both are Excellent IMO.

great pics btw!

Thanks!
