I'm torn between saying I need it, and that I want it... A little bit of both- my primary EDC has been defaced (took it to a professional sharpener, he didn't sharpen it, messed up the tip of the knife, put a dent in the edge, &c- luckily it was rather inexpensive knife, but I liked her), and this is one of the very few Spydercos I like (and I've never owned a Spyderco). Soo, I'm in- let's say I need it.
