 exceptional knife June 17, 2010

The blade is saber ground. I find the wave feature works very well. The knife is a slightly different color than is portrayed in the picture. It is a dark navy, not completely black. I do like the color though. The pocket clip is black. Comes razor sharp. This knife is a good slim lightweight knife that you will forget is in your pocket until you need it. Strong too.

I've only had this knife for 48 hours so this is mostly an initial impression.
Product Description: The blade is about 3-1/2 inches long and the handle is nearly five inches long. When opened, the knife is about 8-1/2 inches. It fits my short, wide hands quite well. It's a fairly big knife but has a rather slender profile so it fits into a front jeans pocket fairly well and Spyderco did a great job of keeping the weight down by skeletonizing the liners and using a high quality plastic (they call it fiberglass reinforced nylon) handles. The pocket clip is secured to the knife with three small torx head screws and is reversible to either end or either side. That doesn't make sense for a knife designed for tip up carry only, but they use the same handles on Endura knives without the wave feature so it saves them another part to inventory. The lock is very positive and audibly clicks when engaged.
Sale/delivery rating: I ordered this knife via Amazon Prime. It arrived the following day. You simply can't beat service like that so Amazon earns five out of five stars.
Quality of Product: The knife is made at Spyderco's Seki City, Japan factory and arrived sharp, well constructed and ready for use by a right hander. Spyderco has a reputation of providing high quality products for reasonable prices. I feel they easily met these standards with this product. Five stars
Quality of design: It's too early to tell. There is a learning curve with this knife. Utilizing the Emerson Wave Feature is not simply a matter of pulling the knife from your pocket with the blade swinging free and locking into place. It requires an outward twisting of the wrist and a bit of wrist snap to get the blade to open completely and lock. I've complicated the matter by switching the clip to the opposite side and trying to use the knife left handed. I'm a rightie but I believe in keeping my options open and my right hand free. That is only going to add to the time required to gain proficiency with this knife. I am confident the design is sound but I believe the time required to master the use of this knife is going to be much longer than I had initially hoped. I did purchase a training version Spyderco Blade/Opener Folder Knife With Red FRN Handle Md: C10TRWbut it has not arrived yet. Four stars - only because the use of the Wave feature is not as intuitive as Spyderco would have you believe.
Manufacturer support. Go to the spyderco website and you'll find every replacement part available for this knife but the blade itself. That is very important to me.
Overall: 4.75 stars.
Love the Spyderco Knives! February 23, 2010

I've been using Spyderco knives for the past 12 years. My first one I got when I was about 12 but unfortunately had it stolen when I was about 19. This knife was a replacement for that one and I am very happy with it.
The wave function works great with my jeans and opens easily. Opening it with my thumb is just as easy and smooth. The blade is actually a little bit longer than I thought (I didn't think to get out a ruler to see how long it would be) but it's a pleasant surprise. It fits easily in my hand and pocket.
I look forward to many good years of use with this knife.
Thanks again Spyderco!
Fantastic Knife, Fantastic Features, January 22, 2010

Spyderco did a great job on this knife. The quality is clear the instant it is held and deployed. It is well weighted and balanced with great grip and overall size in the hand feels great. The Spyderco "Hole" plus the Emerson "Wave" features provide all the opening draw options. The wave makes for an INSANE fast opening deployment and unlike the original wave it is a little larger which actually doubles as a bottle opener. The clip can be moved to either side and either end to allow multiple carry options. Just can't go wrong on this one! Something tells me Spyderco will soon be getting more of my business.
Wonderful! January 7, 2010

This is a fantastic knife, and a lot of knife for the money. The VG-10 steel is fantastic at getting and keeping a sharp edge, and is also the steel of choice on high end kitchen cutlery.
The Wave feature is licensed from Emerson and allows you to present and deploy the knife in one fluid, fast motion.
Most people don't realize that the Wave portion of the blade also doubles as a bottle opener.
