Describe the upsides and downsides of your favorite knife in a single statement.

[metaphoricalsimile]

For example:

Manix 2: has great ergos, needs big pockets.

[TheGiant80]

Pac Salt 1 SE: Is ideal in every scenario I’ve put it up against, lack of washers makes the action sluggish over time.

[metaphoricalsimile]

S90V Para 3 LW: practically perfect in every way except the many tiny ways it's not.

[attila]

I have two:

The CBBL is the best lock, but is let down by the overall availability and edge-to-blade length ratio of the Manix.

The Shaman’s potential to be the best knife is ruined by its overly fat BTE thickness.

[Albertaboyscott]

Manix2 g10 rex45. Upside- Great ergos, rock solid and excellent steel.
Downside- I only bought two

[SRT392HEMI]

While the Para3 is not necessarily my favorite, it truly shines as a compact edc that can handle up to 99% of everyday tasks. Downside is the requirement of an aftermarket clip for concealment, and ergos not as good as bigger brother.

PPT Perrin: The best looking knife that Spyderco has ever made but it's discontinued.

PPT Perrin: Phenomenal design but it's heavy.

Urban - comfortable handle, small, thin grinds, classic Calypso blade shape - made in Italy with the Italian quirks, ugly frn pattern

I saw a picture of someone's Urbans the other day and they all had distinctly different blade grinds

Kinda how I assume Italian craftsmanship will usually turn out tbh.

Dragonfly 2: lots of handle for a blade its size.

[pngeezer]

Sage 5 LW - ergonomics and fun-factor to die for!

[Naperville]

My favorite Spyderco folder is the Native Chief, and I'd like it to open when I draw it from my pocket.

I contacted 5X5 Combat Solutions and they said that they would start working on an opening system for that knife next!!!

I'll buy at least 2 maybe 4 of those opening systems.

[bearfacedkiller]

Military: perfect knife, I don’t think there is a downside.

[StuntZombie]

Rockjumper
Pros:Comfortable handle, no choil, super smooth action.
Cons: Kinda wide in the pocket, no Salt version yet, lined FRN.

[Ramonade]

Native 5 : best ergos for my hand, continuous curve from bottom to tip. However, would like it to be a bit thinner BTE (so the stock too).

[skeeg11]

Mantra 2 is my favorite EDC as it carries so well and has an all around general purpose configuration. Downside is that I didn't pick up a spare when they were discontinued at $114.

[standy99]

GB1 Well,the best knife ever - discontinued

[Pokey]

Ok, now do it in knife Haiku

That's very interesting news.
