Hard Use: PRODUCTION Knives.

[Vince]

I have a Spyderco Native that has done everything I have asked it to and is still going strong. Stripped wire, cut boxes, you name it. Once a week I touch it up on a Sharpmaker and it is ready to go.

I like the Native. I've got an old one in
440V, and its been a great knife.

440V? I never knew they had a Native with that steel. I have the standard S30V model.

Oh, wait a second. Is 440V the same as S60V?

Winner winner, chicken dinner. I'm a pretty big fan of it. Big step up from 440C.

My ZT 0350st has been my edc for over a year now doing maintenance being used for things like cutting coaxial cable, stranded copper wires, opening tin cans, used for a pry bar and who knows what else.

The thing that amazes me the most is the black DLC coating on the blade is still going strong with only a couple scuffs. The s30v steel takes all beatings and ask for more. Lock up with the liner lock is as tight as day one, and the spring assist is as strong as ever. Several of the serrated teeth are chipped but still cut great.

Over all probably the best money I've spent on a knife. I just picked up a 301st to start beating on.

Tungsten DLC is magical. That stuff is the toughest finish I have ever encountered on a blade.

 

[billyboyr6]

I wish I could find someone to coat a couple blades with it for me

Sweet. At first I wasn't a big fan of Spyderco knives but they continue to impress me.
