IATerakahnDepends on what you want a knife for. Most Kershaws aren't bad, although they usually can't compare with Spyderco's quality. If you want a crazy sick knife, this one wins hands down and no contest. For something a little more utility focused... uhh, this isn't the knife you're looking for. If you want a quality utility blade for EDC, may I suggest the Spyderco Paramilitary 2 or if you are looking for a larger blade, the Spyderco Military?
