I bought this knife 7-8 years ago, used and abused it (overhand strikes on spine of blade and testing the edge on steel wire;)and then was lost for few years.Found it the other day, it had chipped edge and dirt all over.Cleaned it and resharpened on belt sander.It whittles hair now, and is a nice little knife that slices like crazy.Wish Spyderco made larger version of the same knife, small blades are too short for tasks I use it for in kitchen etc.Btw The knife never closed on me while striking the spine of blade on table!
 
i do not have this but some of my friend do and certainly love it. lightweight and easy to carry around. not sure if a bigger version will work or not but i would like to take a look at it
 
After the PM2 it would be my choice for an EDC. I'm not one for the standard "EDC" knives though, I like the larger beefier blades like the Manix 2 or possibly the Military.
Very nice knife though, I really like the Spyderco insignia on the handle.
 
Agree big time on the bigger one. Give me a 4" Golden made version with an aluminum handle and that new backlock they use and I'd be all over it.
 
I carry the Centofante 3 quite a bit. It's one of my favorite Spydercos. I indeed would like to see a larger version.

One rides on my console in the truck all the time.. This is a super slicer too!! John
 
Love my Centofante 3. Easy to carry and a great user. I also like the look of it - the plated logo and the decorative handle are classy.
 
Love my Centofante4. Still haven't got a 3 yet but I am sure it is just as nice.

I prefer the blade profile of the Centofante 3, I like having the sharp belly rather then the belly on the 4. However the 4 would stay in a cut easier, while the 3 can slip off a bit easier.
 
It's a fantastic EDC knife. A couple friends of mine liked my C3 so much they HAD to get one themselves, so I bought them one each. One wasn't even a knife person! Now it's always in his pocket. The other lost his and was heartbroken so I gifted mine to him. I REALLY need to replace it, but Spyderco keeps coming out with new things and my wallet wont stop screaming.
