So i have a decision that needs to be made and need peoples input. Ive Been carying a benchmade 550 for the past 4 years, i like it and have no problems with it, however i wanted to try something new.
Im trying to decide if i should get a left hand spyderco mil, it looks like i can get one for around 130$ which is what my budget is. Ive never had a liner lock knife so im wary of this, my axis lock has had no problems and i like it, i work construction and use it pretty hard sometimes dooing stupid shit and i still have my fingers. The benchmade has a fairly thick blade and tip (1/8th?)
and has been strong enough, prying staples out of wood, cutting wire/ banding and the like.
I played with a mil at a gunshop and liked it, very smooth and diddnt have too much blade play, seemed sturdy. Very comfortable in hand.
So with thoes who own one or used one How do they hold up over time? Do they lock up tight and dont get alot of play in them when they get older?
What are the downfalls?
Thanks for any input.
