Spyderco Positron Replica Cut Test: Sometimes Looks Aren’t Deceiving

Finally got around to putting the Spyderco Positron replica through our Redneck Cut Tests. As I mentioned in my review video, I was pretty disappointed overall with the quality of this knife - it just looks and feels like maybe an older replica from back before manufacturers really started getting these things dialed in.

But here's the thing about knife testing - looks can often be deceiving when it comes to actual performance. Just because a knife doesn't impress you out of the box doesn't mean it can't surprise you when you put it to work. So let's dive in and see how this pocket-friendly carbon fiber blade handles our cardboard, rope, hose, and wood challenges. Will this underwhelming little knife redeem itself in testing, or will the disappointing first impressions prove accurate?
