Hi, I notice you mention liking VG10, if you like a knife that will stay sharp for ever, may I reco something like a Serrated Rescue, maybe a SE waved delica. I absolutely LOVE my VG10 Flat Ground knives, but nothing seems to get stuff done without touch ups like my se spydies (minus flat ground se). I have showed many people my rescue as a edc and they look at is as if its not practical, I say to them, own and USE it, then let me know what you think. It may not have a tip, oh well, never stopped me from splitting matter to the fullest.
The good thing about choosing between spydies, its a WIN WIN anyway you go. Best luck to your search.
