I purchased my Buck Rush spring-assist knife several years ago and use it as a daily carry knife. It's slim profile is perfect for carrying in your pocket, the high quality blade stays sharp, and the ability to open/close it with one hand are its greatest features. The Rush has become my absolute favorite and would recommend it to anyone.

I was highly disappointed to see that Kershaw knifes are predominately made in CHINA these days. The design of this knife is the Kershaw standby and is easily replicated by anyone. The quality of the steel is just what you would expect from a blade made in China. The pocket clip is small for this blade. If you don't know how to sharpen knives you will not be able to get this to hold an edge. If you find a knife that is made in the U.S.A. buy 10 of those things, because everything is being moved across the seas.

I love this knife. It is light, made from excellent steel.
It is easy to grab in the dark and tell where the edge is.
I was in the military, but carried a buck 119. Wish this
Was around. I use tbis knife and at some point
Will return it and have it refinished and tuned, an excellent
Service offered by Chris Reeve Knives. You can trust your
Life to this knife. Many profesionals do. Buy it. Use it

I love this knife. Great quality. Perfect size - 3", 3 oz and thin. Like the clip. Have worn everyday for last six months. Never notice. Great blade. Easy to open. Solid liner lock. Like the graphite-epoxy grip.

I love the look of this knife much more then the lionsteel SR-1. Elmax is great and deep carry clip is nice. It's a knife that I think you love or hate. But either way I am happy as hell to carry this everyday.

The Victorinox Soldatenmesser 08 knife, also known as the Soldier knife is fantastic all around. The hole in the blade is my favorite feature, because it makes opening the knife really easy compared to other swiss armys. It has the right tools, without having anything unnecessary. This would be ideal for scouts or someone looking for a small and compact multitool. I use mine all the time and so far it has withstood the test of time. I'm pretty hard on it because I use it in the yard quite a bit. I have done some things with it that aren't really ideal, such as cut cardboard(which is really bad for any knife, which is why they make box cutters). It held an edge well and hasn't required much sharpening. Overall I love it and recommend it.

I have been carrying a Spyderco Military for about a year and a half now. I started with the base model with the G-10 handle, for which I paid about $130. I was so happy with it I "stepped up" to the titanium handle version, for which I paid about $230. Both have the non-serrated blade. The main reason that I went to the titanium handle was personal preference, mainly because the smooth metal handle slips in and out of my pocket easier in the types of clothes that I usually wear. Both knives were extremely sharp right out of the box and the fit and finish on both was excellent. I've used the Military almost daily for everything from opening boxes to slicing watermelon. It has performed flawlessly and I couldn't be happier. The steel holds an edge very well and neither knife has shown any sign of rust despite almost daily use in a very humid environment. Both the G-10 and titanium handles are very comfortable and fit my hands well. However, the G-10 is not slippery at all and definitely gives a better grip. Although it's a relatively big knife, it carries well with the pocket clip. The G-10 version is lighter than the titanium version.

I would like to point out that both knives lock up very well, but at first the titanium version's lock was extremely tight, but after some wear-in time it smoothed out nicely.

In short, I believe this is a great general purpose pocket knife and I'm sure I'll be carrying it for the foreseeable future. I'm satisfied that it's absolutely dependable.

I highly recommend this knife to anyone who wants a large folder that's easy to carry.

Its a great knife, Just wish the blade was a bit broader, and that the handle was a bit more slimline, although it fits great in the pocket, not much to the blade but with the right person most tasks could be done with this knife, can get razor sharp but doesnt hold its edge for long.

Nice knife. It's bigger than I imagined. It has good weight to it. Nice sharp edge. Just two things wrong. 1 the thumb studs are useless and get in the way, so I removed those with a couple of pliers. 2. The pocket clip screws stick out a wee bit too far and get a little hung up on your pocket. But the knife does sit deep in the pocket which is a plus. Other than that this is an excellent knife, I highly recommend it. The finish is nice and seems to be durable so far. The speed open is easy and smooth. Frame locks up tight, blade seems to be centered with no wiggle room. I hate it when a folder is all loosie goosie.

WOW!! These Mora knives are great!! I own four different kinds, including a tri-flex. All of them are outstanding. This knife will stand up to years of abuse so long as you know how to keep a carbon blade up and running. The scandinavian cut is awesome! Stays sharp for a really long time. I use my mora knives for everything you can think of. It's a bit akward to carry around with you everyday, but is the best knife to have for the glovebox, toolbox, tacklebox (if you have a stainless blade), or ANYWHERE else. Best knife I have ever owned. I think I picked up my first one for five bucks and didn't expect much out of it, but bought two more of the same type, then bought my triflex. Can't say enough good things. Keep up the great work Mora.

I got this knife for Christmas. For a case knife, I'm VERY disappointed. My knife has an extremely weak backspring, no half-stop, they glued in shield and put Tru-Sharp Stainless blades in it. Not a fan of the Tru-sharp steel. Research tells me it is some form of 420 steel. It doesn't hold an edge well at all, and I have a tough time getting it razor sharp. I gotta strop the hell out of it. After a few months, the end springs just barely started to come apart from the center and Case wouldn't do jack crap about it! They told me it was my fault. I have never abused this knife and if it can't take being in my pocket without coming apart, then maybe it's time to chunk it! Might wanna either hand pick your Case knives from now on or spend some cash on the knives they still make to quality standards..... or go with a different brand

I've had my Spyderco PM2 for several months and have carried it everyday and for casual everyday tasks of opening letters and boxes its an incredible knife. Before carrying the PM2 I carried a Spyderco Manix 2 XL, which is a grate knife, the only detractor was its large size. This is where the PM2 trumps the XL. The size is just about perfect without feeling unwieldy. I wish i had picked this up a long time ago. I also own a Strider SNG , which is comparable in size, although I prefer the Spyderco for the thumbhole and smoother pivot. All-in-all, I'm very pleased with the Spyderco PM2.
