It looks like an awesome slim carry with an awesome steel. I am a little confused by the super low price. Is there something wrong here that i'm not getting? i'm not a huge fan of FRN but that seems like the only downside to this knife.

Just wanting to know before i take the dive.

Thanks all!
 
I don't know which version I have, it is black handled with VG-10 steel. I noticed you asked about the strong points of the wharncliffe style blade.

I really like this blade style as an everyday utility. The point is sharp and it's possible to put a lot of pressure on it for good piercing. The edge is nice and straight for easy sharpening. It's good for folks who cut a lot of packaging, rope/cord, cardboard, etc.

It also makes a good defensive blade. A bonus in my book.

you won't be sorry, i had one,sold it and now want one.
slim ,tip down carry, steel liner on the clip side only comfortable to use.
it is slimmer than delica for reference.
 
The Centofante 3 is a great general EDC. I've bought a couple and have used them for food prep, and general carry (cutting open boxes, letters, ....light stuff) with no problems. The low price may make you think junk, but it's a 'most bang for your buck' deal. Hope this helps.
 
A very underrated knife IMHO...

I just bought one this afternoon. It is very light and slim. i have been wanting a VG10 blade, and the price on the Centofante 3 seems like a good deal. This is my first Spyderco, and I am very happy with my purchase.
 
I give this one a big thumbs up.
Nice and light with a great blade. Can't go wrong here! :thumbup:
 
I don't like folders at all, but I would recommend the Centofante 3 to someone who does like them. It's got a very thin 2 mm VG-10 blade, and it looks nice, and weighs very little. If you want a knife for cutting stuff instead of prying and all that, then this is a good folder for that, at a reasonable price. :thumbup: Just watch out with the tip - it is very, very thin. My camera is f'd up (again), otherwise I'd post a poor tip shot of it - maybe someone else can do that - to showcase just how thin the tip is.
 
Excellent knife, I prefer it to Delicas and Enduras. Very light and the factory profile cuts well.
