On the topic of self defense Spyderco knives. I think that many Spyderco
knives can fill a self defense role very well. This is mostly because
of the thumb ramps on the blade and amazing traction offered by g-10,
jimping and the bi-directional frn scales. The blade shape is great for
cutting and the steel choices are fantastic as well.
The thumb hole is awesome. I have had to draw a Spyderco under duress
and the thumb hole helped me open the knife and have it ready without
even remembering doing it until it was all over. I have other knives
that open different ways, Benchmade thumb studs and the flipper on my ZT
but I still think the Spyderco thumb hole is the best. (Short of having
an auto knife).
I look at Benchmade knives and other knives from ZT and SOG and I think,
"those are great knives but its not a Spyderco." I always come back to
Spyderco.
Addition- My carry knives today include a Spyderco Tasmin Salt with the
serrated Hawkbill blade in my reaction side pocket and a PM2 in my right
front pocket.
