Spyderco is a decent knife, but I think I'd spend a little more and go with a Benchmade or a Kershaw (ZT), maybe a Cold Steel.


-T.

I have an Spyderco Salt series folder. It is a great knife but does not hold an edge well. I would go with the Benchmade Griptillian. It is available in a similarly rust resistant finish. See my previous topic below. If you don't specifically need a highly corrosion resistant knife, a Spyderco Delica or Endura may work well for you. My wife is hard on knives (mostly through neglect) and her all stainless Delica has yet to rust. It also holds an edge well.

You must have the only woman out there that listens well.

So what I am thinking is:  I get her a fully serrated knife like the Spyderco Pacific Salt.  That thing will stay sharp for years the way she uses it.

Ideas?

If you are looking for a knive with excellent rust resistance and GREAT edgeholding, take a look at the Boye Boat Knife.  Cast cobalt steel that can't rust.  The casting process locks the carbide particles that do the cutting into the matrix of the steel.  When sharpened, it creates a micro saw tooth edge that really cuts and rarely needs sharpening.  Even cuts well through that tough boating rope.  Take a look and google for online reviews and you will see what I mean.  Here is a link.
