Has anyone compared this knife to the Spyderco Ambitious? What did you think?

I did a comparison of the two knives in the question section for the Ambitious.

i think it's much nicer than the ambitious. the cat has better steel plus the beloved wire pocket clip

It is a great knife...fits in my pocket so well I forget it's there. Sharp blade that needed 2 minutes of honing to get a razor edge. Any knife can be used for self defence. The only thing this is it opens like a normal knife.. I don't see this as any different from any other knife in opening..in fact I have other knives that are easier to open.But all in all a great EDC knife

This knife is serious. I have had a lot of benchmade's over the years, and they are nice knives. But ZT's are really tough, and very high quality. Full titanium, elmax blade. This knife could cost twice as much. I think you will be happy with it. I carry mine everyday.

I like mine. I don't love it, it can be difficult to use at times with different size knives. It gets the job done though, mainly about preference or whichever you would be most comfortable with.

i wish i could answer more intelligently about your question, I have several knives, a glock knife, a smaller gerber survival knife, and some other odds and ends. this knife by far meets above standard sharpness. I didn't think I would like the serrated part on the blade until I used it to cut something requiring strength. It exceeded my expectations. The knife is larger than I thought it would be, but given the situations of why I purchased it in the first place "survival preparedness" I think it is going to work out great.

Yes it is good so far. I initially went for the look of it, since I wanted a tanto style blade. The last Tech I had, the locking mechanism began to fail much earlier than I would have liked. I have not experienced a similar problem yet.

Don't know a lot about the cold steel leatherneck series. They look like a K-bar upgrade and K-bar has been a well used and appreciated knife. I have read the SOG knife was chosen by a panel of military inspector types as the best of the best and the elite is an improved model.

Yes it is. It is an EDC as well. I own many other knives and this truly my favorite.

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

Yes, there is space it's not really a bad knife but the issue I have with it is the lawks system, if it did away with this it would be an exceptional knife. But the lawks system completely locked the knife rendering it a fixed blade. I would seriously consider another crkt product or something else.... Kershaw is not to bad for the price range of these knives.... I guess I was to hard on the m16 but my benchmade, Spyderco, microtech, Kershaw, and other have held up to such abuse.... All in what you want and what you are using it for!

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 watched a lot of Youtube videos before buying the knife. I didn't settle for the Mora, I chose it. I can honestly say in its category, I felt it was the best. Remember, that is in its category.... P.S. I was most disappointed in the Bear Grylls knives.

this knife is more of a survival knife it is extremely durable and well built, if you want a combat knife look at the LMF II by Gerber. This knife is definitely not for daily carry it is to bulky therefor it cant really be used for defense. If you are looking for a tactical fixed blade knife go with a cold steel kobun. I love that blade it is extremely sharp, way sharper than the gerber when it arrives. hope my response can aid you in the search for a fixed blade knife

The one I received had just a plain edge which I prefer with the cutting tasks that I do. I carry my leatherman wave that has a full serration blade so I do not like to have the serrations. The model of the spyderco tenacious that I ordered just had a plain edge. Make sure to check in the specs below the knife to see if it mentions that the knife has serrations. If you still don't know you can contact the seller and ask. I don't know if the black model has the serrations or not if that's what your asking but look around and I'm sure you'll find something!

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.

No, I don't. It's a gorgeous, very elegant steak knife for dinners, but too light and delicate to be a satisfactory EDC knife (I carry mostly a Great Eastern 4 blade stockman with punch, or a Case Camp knife, or a Leatherman Wave + a Bark River City Knife).

Well I can't speak for the Gerber Bear Grylls Ultimate Survival Knife because I have never owned one. But I can tell you the SOG is an amazing knife, I don't regret the purchase at all. In fact I have 2 of these and 2 of the "pup" versions of this knife.
