Sounds like your coworker needs to get their own knife. I don’t lend mine out more than once, and for other tools my rule is “if you have to borrow it more than twice, you need to buy your own.”
Stretch 2 in CruWear alsoBoth BM and Spyderco make great knives. I have had both but Spyderco get my money mostly now. I am sold on the spyder hole instead of blade studs and Spyderco beats the others IMHO for innovation and variety. They offer just about any blade steel under the sun and with their Mule program, give you a chance to test them at a reasonable price. I've currently have various models with CPM Cruwear, K390, Maximet, and S90V. The Stretch 2 in K390 is a great knife with an awesome steel (if you don't mind non-stainless) at a good price. My favorite at the moment is the PM2 in CPM Cruwear. Great combination.
If you don't have the right stuff to keep a higher end steel sharp, then I'd say it's not worth the money. You'll just end up making a mess of a very nice and very expensive knife.
If you do, then there are significant benefits in daily use if you pick the right steel for what you want to do.
I'd second the notion that spydercos are the best bang for the buck for a higher end knife. They'll give you some pretty special steels in a very well built knife for a reasonable price. They can be a little rough around the edges but they are very well made.
My manix 2 in S110V is a joy.
Which bugout do you have? What's the model number?Benchmade is incredible. I have a bugout and its my favorite knife
I'm still watching inventory for you. Shootout has been getting pretty popular these days too.I do hope to have me an Infidel one day. I so want to be kewl.
I think Spyderco definitely delivers great value on their products. They have a lot of nice, durable, usable products that also won't break the bank.I started carrying a Spyderco Delica in the 90's at a previous job, we got the full serrated ones for cutting rubber hose, shrink wrap and the like. Became so fond of the Delica I've started to collect them in all the different scale colors with plain edge now. For less than 100 bucks they are a good value IMHO.
