What's the strongest Spyderco?

[Santi]

Can't say words on this, I'm a newbie. . .still have to learn.

But would love to know your view.
Just pick ONE, only one that you think it's the strongest.

Well I don't have the full line of Spyderco's but of the 30 or so that I do have the Bob Lum SPC 46 tanto is the most solid. A bead blasted titanium handle with a real solid feel to it with a thick tanto style blade that makes for a very "rugged" knife.

Ditto the Lum, although the Chinook sounds like a tough beast too.

Welcome to the forums Santi. In what regards to strength are you referring to? The locking mechanism for folders or blade steel composition? These could be seperate subjects.

Strongest overall would be the Wegner fix blade.

The Standard.

The thick blade and steel liner make for a heavy, solid, compact, Delica-sized, cutting machine. I got a pair (plain and serrated) and could only be happier if they were tip-up. Otherwise completely satisfied. I like a knife with some heft to it.

Bring ‘em back, please, Sal.

I would recommend the Chinook or the Gunting as the strongest Spyderco to date.

I would think the Military or Starmate with the fail safe type liner lock but I am speculating.

Hi Santi. Welcome. Nakano is correct. "Strongest" and "best" cannot really be answerred without further refinement.

Depending on what you mean by strongest? If you mean "reliability", "strongest lock", "thickest tip" etc.

Where Spyderco is concerned, use would matter most (since function is primary). Even if that "use" is collection, some are more collectable than others.

If you are going to carry it, then size vs local law is a question, etc. Srongest for it's size?

This is a great place to learn about Spyderco products. The forumites that visit here have excellent knowledge, long memories, and ask hard questions.
