I always try to give you folks a balanced view of both the good and the bad with every knife I review, but this little Spyderco has a bit more on the disappointing side than I was hoping for.

This knife checks all the right boxes – beautifully ergonomic, feels great in hand, lightweight carry, and doesn’t eat up much pocket space despite offering 3.3 inches of cutting edge.

This unique blade was created back in 2016 by automotive engineer Paul Alexander. And while it features an incredibly distinctive design with a thin, slicey blade, it never quite got the market appreciation it deserved.
