I have another couple coming while rest are packed for move, but this 15 sec video clip shows the sucker better than I could, a perfect stout little emergency knife, legal even in the Bronx (so long as completely concealed).

Serrations I do not care for except in the most difficult awkward cutting situations, then they are pure gold. Worth the $10 shipping both ways to have Spyderco make them as good as new, if ever required.

Again, the serrated H1 steel can run upper 60s Rc right at edge with NO embrittlement, fall to low 60s further back on scallops, and mid 50s at blade back. It actually outperforms all other supersteels in Spyderco's in house CATRA cutting durability tests. The theory is that the normally pliable tough nitrogen-based stainless develops a case hardening under grinding heat.

neat steel.
