Curious to see if anybody has any experience with the SureFire line. I was thinking about the Delta model becuase it has alot of features like the wrench and cord cutter among other things. Blade is CPM-S30V. Only thing holding me back is the hefty price tag it carries. What do you guys think, worth it or not?

Hey Jonny,

If you're in Marin County, there a store in SF that seems to have it in stock so you can actually get your hands on it to see if you like it. It's Tad Gear:

www.tadgear.com

They also have other high end knives that you can compare it with and the guys there are very knowledgable about knives.
 
The knife is solid, and they have a great warranty, but is it worth it to you? Only you can really decide my friend.

Anytime Jonny. Welcome to the forums:). While you're in the city, stop by We Be Knives over in Pier 39:

www.webeknives.com

They have a lot of quality knives for knife lovers to play with. The guys are semi knowledgable and the pricing is horrible, but a great place to see if you really like a model, and then order what you like online (unles you're okay paying an extra 50-75% over online stores).
 
Thanks alot ColonialKnifeFan excellent review! I guess the wrench on that knife isn't all what its cracked up to be. I look forward to your long term review.
 
While I know that Surefire makes great products, I don't think that a factory made folder is worth $425. For that kind of cash, you could get a nice custom knife. Some of the knife's features are quite innovative, but I couldn't see myself ever using them.

I terms of general EDC tasks, I think you would be just as well off with a Spyderco Manix or Chinook.
 
Wow, this surprised the heck out of me. Every thread I've opened to date has had a general consensus that, while quality, Surefire knives are in no way worth the price tag attached to them.

Of course, I would think that at least some of the price tag can be attributed to name alone.

Interesting to see a more 'positive' reaction to the knives.
 
i like the alpha model but not any of the others.

the are made well, great F&F, but are imho a little overpriced for what ya get.

i dont like the delta FWIW, if for no other reason that the funky look it has lol.
