Hey guys,

Well, I figured being new here I would show you guys what im about, I love knives and obviously everything out doors. I have been collecting for a little while now, and dont have any spectacular, but knives I fell will benifit me the most, as well as gear and other tools of the trade.

So, first off I will go over the spyderco military, specificly with Digital camo G10 handled one.

I bought this knife from on of the only good sites in canada, Jay the owen of warriors and wonders in BC, and without trying to sound like a sales men, I really recommend him to any fellow candians looking for a good site.

So, first here are a few shots of the knife with a few other favorites.

So, I usually do alot of stuff over on bladeforums, and have been a regular there for about three years. I mostly do some pretty mundane things with my knives, no more than they should be used for, and in this case tonight thats all I really did. Also I had pushed out a young girl from the ditch the other night, so I really wasn't up for much more.:D

Anyway, I took out the RAT RC6, chopped up the old christmas tree, and then proceeded to make some fuzzin's for the fire.

I was very impressed with the knife overall. When I first recived it, I was sold on the G10 handles, it brought me back to the first time I handled a FRN handles spyderco endura, I was pleased to say the least. But, as the testing when on, and now after a few days of use (making samwhichs, cutting up various veggies and normal uses for an EDC knife) it has proven its self in my eyes.
After a few months worth of work I will be able to tell just how well its holds up, It came with and ok edge, but it wasn't shaving. So after I sharpend it and used it for the last few days, it still has its shaving edge. I usually touch up after each use anyway, but I forced my self not to, and I've been impressed with the CPM S30V its using for blade steel. The lock-up has been solid, and no unforseen closers have happend, also, as the G10 gets "Broken in" it has been incrasingly more comfy, so Im happy.

So, in the end I pay $140 canadian, got some digi camod G10 handles, CPM S30V and a great knife, im satisfied. Also, the knife carries a $219 MSRP from Spyderco's site, so I hit a good deal I think.

Thanks for reading guys, have a good one.

Hello Fonly,

I reckon that the RAT looks to be a bit of a beast! (o:

Nice finish on the blade too.

The Spyderco looks very purposeful and neat.

Great photo's, thanks for sharing.

Regards,
