      Just from what I've read on the internet (which is not much) people make it seem like you must clean these knives and take care of them or they will rust or get damaged…. I will put mine to the test!

      http://www.ebay.com/itm/HIGONOKAMI-Bluesteel-Brass-90mm-black-blade-/261063508334?pt=Collectible_Knives&hash=item3cc899016e

      Seul, Here is the one I bought and there are many options on ebay if you search 'Higonokami'

      I just got one of these.  couldnt resist

            Weight is solid for what it is. Blade is insanely sharp. Much sharper then Sebenza. Very difficult to open it is very tight. This is a beautiful, no frills, minimalist EDC

                        Needed a bigger folder and decided to get this one, a Benchmade Griptilian 550 BKHG. Been reading a lot of good reviews on it. Seems to be a good guality/price piece.

                            80 € plus change including shipping from the Good ol' US of A. Didint do much bargain hunting on this one, got it from the same seller that I bought my Spydie Persistence from.

                              like that a lot, got my eye on a doug ritter version which, if I get it, will probably have custom scales added at some point.

                                Hi Guys!
                                My fisrt dip into the world of folding pocket knives (swiss army knife notwithstanding), a Spyderco C148GP.

                                After reading this thread I was instantly drawn to the small Chris Reeve Sebenza, but wanst sure if a knife was something i wanted to keep with me all day every day, and didnt want to gamble with that sort of money.  Then once I got my Busters from Timmytangohead a few month back I thought i should try to make use of that cheeky little knife pocket.  Anyway I have had the Spyderco with me every day ever since!  A little bulky, but super solid (especially for a chinese made model) and very easy to keep quite sharp.  And at just $50 I reckon its a nice item.

                                So, the Sebenza is still on the wish list, but for now im quite happy with the Spyderco.

                                Thanks guys for letting me share  🙂

                                Mike.

                                  I have to agree with you on the quality of the chinese-made Spydie line. Solid workmanship and I love the solid feel of the liner lock. Keeps a nice edge as well.

                                    Nice knife there Mike, I have 3 Sypydercos but I'll be damned if I can remember the names of them! One is the
                                    police model though, all 3 Japan made. Great knives.

                                      my current line up.  Missing is  a Benchmade knife that my apartment seems to have swallowed.

                                      Spyderco Paramilitary (main carry.  No nonsense, stout balde, easy to manipulate and comfortable to hold and use)
                                      ProTech Tactical Response (this is more of an amusement piece for me.  I do not carry it as its illegal, and only good for inflicting serious damage…)
                                      Japanese blade from Ebay, not sure the name or style off the top of my head
                                      ProTech Runt.  Legal to carry in California because the blade is less than 2" (for an automatic, it must be less than 2")

                                          the Runt is a good knife.  Its pretty thick, and the balde is really stout so it makes for a good tool.  The fact that its automatic is a moot point.  I can open folding knives just as fast if not faster than an automatic.

                                            Used to have one. Never was able to open it quickly after its spring snapped (about 6 weeks in)…

                                            Here's to hoping yours'll serve you well!..
