Need help to decide between SOG, CRKT, Eickhorn, Camillus or Spyderco

Hello,
A Spyderco Assist AND :o an Endura 4 are on their way to Spain (I hope!!)
Thanks to all for your help :thumbup: , I will let you know my impressions as soon as I´ll receive them :D

If you look at my knife collection you'll notice I have a bunch of Spyderco's and none of the others. :) I think you made the right decision.
 
Congrats on your knife choices!! I look forward to hearing from you when they arrive!!
 
Yep, Spyder knives are great for EDC! Look at the Native I/III and the Mini Manix too! ;)

Nice to see another spanish guy in the forums! :D My vote goes for Spyderco too but I reccomend you taking a look to a Benchmade Minigriptilian (especially the Dough Ritter version) or any other benchmade model, I like Spydies and Benchmades a lot, both have great knives. I warn you, after the first ones you just can't stop getting more and more ;)

Por cierto, dónde los has comprado? Para próximas ocasiones te recomiendo www.bestknives.com, rápido y sin problemas en aduanas!

Of the knives and makers you mention, I'd go with Spyderco, no question. Can't say which model is best for you, I don't like all their designs. I would recommend looking for a Spyderco model that uses VG-10 steel, which is terrific IMO.
 
Hello,
Thanks for all yours answers and help, I got both knives (Endura and Assist) this week, both seems strong with a blade wider than I've normally seen (for example wider than my Wichard considered to be a correct marine duty knife). They are also really sharp out of the box, you can shave your forehand easily :thumbup: (of course, if you feel you need it and don't care about an accidental suicide :D ). Both are easy to open one handed although not assisted. Blades of both are made with VG 10 steel and made in Seki-City (Japan). If you have any question about the Assist (I assume everybody is more or less familiar with the Endura) I will be happy to try to help. I want to thank you to convince me to give a try to Spyderco as I considered them before a little bit on the "ugly" aspect :o but they really desserve a "try and decide":) .

A few words for SanShou: gracias por la información he comprado los míos en www.greatknivesgreatprices.com, pero fuera de Ebay ya que no tenía el Assist en subasta. El tipo es super servicial, muy comunicativo y me ha dicho poder cualquier cuchillo, los precios son un pelín más caros que en bestknives pero los gastos de envío son más economicos (Assist 55$, Endura 45$ envío 19$ recibido en 5 días, incluyendo fin de semana) para envío pequeños (bestknives habla de mín. 28$).
Best regards from Mallorca, thanks to all again :p
 
I would looking into the Spyderco Atlantic Salt because if your using it to cut seat belts then you probably dont want to have a sharp point on the knife. The salt offers great cutting power and will need basically no upkeep sitting in your glove compartment. I definitely reccomend you stick with Spyderco for this knife since you may be betting your life on it.
