In a very recent thread, I asked whether anybody knew about a Spydie folding knife which can be used in "abusive" conditions. I commented (or intended to) that, although the Military is a great survival folder, it might not be able to handle heavier tasks such as chopping or "light" prying due to its fine tip and its "clip-point" blade shape, which seems to be mainly suited for fine-cutting tasks. Here is the thread, for reference:

Some people suggested that the Spyderco Wegner is up to these tasks. I have never handled a Wegner model, yet have always been curious to do so. Still, I would like to get input from all who care to contribute. Is this knife comparable to the AL MAR SERE 2000, with its allegedly very solid lockup, tough VG-10 Spearpoint blade, excellent fit and finish, etc., for use in the tasks mentioned above and in the other thread?
Thank you,
