What is the difference between this knife (C95GP2) and the C101GP2?
1536951
The C95GP2 has a 3.8 cpmS30v blade and the C101GP2 is much smaller with a different steel
1536952
The C101GP2 is the regular Manix 2. The C95GP2 is the Manix 2 XL. Basically the same knife, but the XL is a bit longer (1/2" or so), and it may be wider as well. The XL is a tank, out of all my knives, I carry it the most. I do prefer larger knives though.

The difference between the two is that the C95GP2 is going to be a full flat grind XL version of the knife with s30v steel, whereas the C101GP2 is a Scandinavian grind aka "V" grind and is only 154cm steel. The s30v is only slightly better than 154cm and for normal every day use you wont be able to tell the difference. The main differences that you will notice however is the size of the overall knife and the grinds. The size of the XL (C95GP2) is actually quite nice and gives you plenty of chances for changing hand grip and position. For a much smaller package, you may choose the 154cm (C101GP2). Personally, I prefer the XL, it feels great, is not too large, and holds an amazing edge. Hopefully this helped.

D2 Steel is harder which provides a longer edge retention than 1095 but since it is a harder steel once it does need sharpening it may take slightly longer to bring the edge back.1095 is easier to sharpen but will need sharpening more often. Each is a trade off that comes down to personal choice.

For the H1 steel the seratted edge is much harder. Call up spyderco and ask them if you like. It will stay sharper longer, and is one of the hardest edges they make. The plain edge is much softer as the machining of the serrations increase the Rockwell hardness. With that said this knife is excellent size and the serrations are great for cutting through thick materiel such as rope, hard plastic tough corrugated boxes. I own many knives and keep them all very sharp. No plain edge will cut as well for harder materials as a serrated. That said the serrated wont slice as cleanly but, its such a small blade I would only get the serrated version and leave a plane edge to a large blade.

It's just the model name of the knife, the 10 point is a little smaller than the 12 point

I difer to the previous two response I just went back on GP{ Knives and they too have chnaged the steel type to 5160. So it probably depends on how old the knife is. It looks like if you buy one now you get 5160.

I belive nick is right about it being 1095. I have two knives, (ka-bar) same steel, the other one point broke of the first day reshape it like a screwdriver point,

A search of either leads you to the same knife. The knife is awesome. I own one and have give two as gifts.

The thickness of the blade. 1 is thinner than 2 for more precise cuts but can break easier.

It looks like the handle of the 1015SPS is 2-piece (maybe to reduce shipping? Other than that, I see no difference, and IMO the structural integrity of the 1015P would be preferable.

I don't know. I love the knife, had another which got "lost", so replaced it. It is my favorite. Look it up on a cutco siteis my recommendation.

I'm unsure if they have changed the design, however, the one I order awhile back does have CPM-D2 on the blade

Well, these two knives are basically the same. They have slightly different designs (in regards to the grip). But overall, their functionality is the exact same. I would go with the cheaper priced knife. This knife was once thirty dollars. Now that they are popular (and in my opinion a must have for anyone!!), they have gone wayyy up in price. This knife is a must for your pack, vehicle and as a gift for any loved one.

I can't answer your question, but be careful. I bought a set of these knives at Gumps and they were very high quality. Then I bought what was advertised as the same thing on Amazon (same thickness of blade, etc), and they were MUCH lighter and cheaper. I returned them.

I had both but kept only the Rat1. It is a great knife without even considering the price. The tenacious is not as tough and not as comfortable.

Not sure,but the quality is superior to a number of knives I have purchased at higher prices from other venders. Layers are tight with few if any carbon pockets in the two knives I purchased from this vender. Am fully satisfied with both purchases.

Since I own both, I compared the two, and found that they are the same size...but I could NOT find the numbers you refer to...the 001 and 060...anywhere on the package. I wondered about the blades, even though they appeared to be the same side-by-side, but looking at the replacement blades on Amazon (AccuSharp 3036-2024 Knife Sharpener Replacement Blades), they are meant for ALL Accusharp products. Aslo, I looked at ConsumerSearch website and both tools are lumped together in a description. I bought both to have one inside the house near where I cook (blue hand guard), and obviously one outside in the garage where the gardening tools are (green hand guard). I LOVE LOVE LOVE this product in the kitchen as it sharpens quickly and very well; I originally bought it because it was recommended by America's Test Kitchen, and I am an aficionado of most anything they do or review or recommend. Now, can I please get back to cooking?
