Why, why, why, did I opt for a knife that was not a Spyderco for yard chores this weekend? Was it weakness? Was it because the knife "looked cool"? I was wishing for my 50/50 Endura all day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I tried to cut some weeds, remove a splinter, and clean up some of the places the edger missed. What a lame time with a knife that was a let down. I won't say who the manufacturer was, but it is well known. Guys and Gals, just stop looking at anything else. Spyderco knives are all you'll ever need. My other $200.00 knife couldn't do what my $50.00 Spydie could do. I love Spyderco! :thumbup:
