Top quality blade at an affordable price
932905
I bought one of the Proline models offered by Butterfly (with Spin Art 2.1 and Bryce Hard 1.9). First off, the price of the blade itself is very affordable compared to other Butterfly blades. It has outer layers of bamboo, hence the high-pitched tone when you drop the ball on the "naked" blade. This also contributes to the overall speed of the blade. While it doesn't come even close to those in the OFF+ category, I would rate Millerga as a solid OFF-/OFF. Smashes lack in power and some of the blocks don't "sting" as much as I would like them to, but that may be a problem of technique on my part, too. When it comes to loops though, you can't beat this blade! The soft feel, combined with the large sweetspot is a dream come true for a player who strives for control on powerful topspin loops. I can literally visualize where I want to place my next loop, and the blade will just do that for me. I can hit my opponent's playing elbow 8 out of 10 times. Another point of interest: since the weight of the blade is just 85g (5-ply W), large swings on loops will not affect you as much as doing it with other (faster) blades, such as Carbon/Arylate.

Enjoy this blade and take good care of it!

Very affordable for such high quality.  It is already in use and the family is learning what great knifes can do!

This is a quality fixed blade and is exactly what I was looking for. I know I could buy a knife of much better quality but I could not afford the price.
Excellent knife for the money. Also, SOG always made good knives.

This blade should sell for twice the price! It is just as good as the Forrest blade I just replaced and it leaves a perfect finished edge that requires minimal prep before glue up!

Very pleased with this fixed blade. I have trusted Gerber for a long time and own many of their products. This blade doesn't disappoint. It was shipped in its original packaging, including the plastic blade cover. I was lease with the handle and the blade was sharp upon arrival. Very good quality for the money.

This is a fine quality knife. The attention to detail is excellent. This is just an excellent example of Kershaw providing an excellent knife at an affordable price. It is razor sharp out of the box and is extremely fast. This knife would bea great gift for anyone who collects, uses or just likes knives.

Spyderco has long garnered a name as a quality knife maker.  And most agree that they rank among the top ranked full production knife makers in the world.  The endura line has proved to be a top seller due to their quality and (relatively) low price.  And I must say WOW!  I'd never seen a blade this sharp before...we're talking scary sharp!  You could shave with it...  Needless to say the paper test was a huge success!  After six months of abuse this blade has lost it's razors edge but will still split paper with ease.  I'll get around to sharpening it someday and have every faith that it will take and hold that edge well.

As a defencive tool, you'll find more expensive models but none that do the job better.  The large thumb hole makes opening a snap or perhaps I should say a "click."  Opening techniques vary but the thumb hole gives the handler a feeling of security that thumb studs somehow lack.  As for the handle, the ergonomics are phenominal!  However, the smooth stainless finish might be a turn off for some.  I like it, but it certainly won't be for everyone.

One issue I've noticed is that the blade has developed a micro ammount of latteral play.  I've put it thru quite litterally thousands of opening and closing cycles.  Not to worry, Spyderco said send it in to them and they'll repair or replace it free of charge.  I'm extremely satisfied with this knife, so much so that I'm buying a second.

Absolutely beautiful knife! The price is awesome for this blade. Feels very sturdy and hefty when held by the handle. It also came packaged securely. Better than any other blade I have ordered. Heavily oiled right out of the package to prevent rust during shipping. Gorgeous irregular serrations and signature damascus pattern. Just got this blade and even if this thing doesn't cut it is worth the price as a decorative blade. Will be putting it through it's paces soon.

Good quality knife at an affordable knife.  For the price and quality its hard to see how you can beat this knife.

Great quality for the price.  The blade, while plain, is impressive and semi-sharp.  The leather wrap on the grip is a little skimpy but the pommel makes up for that.  it is an impressive low-cost blade while not of combat quality looks like it could do some work.  For stage and replication appearances it is impressive on the hip or on the wall.  This is not a small piece.  I put it together with an arming belt and general purpose vertical frog and it has to be mounted quite high on the scabbard so the point does not drag.  If you were recreating a medieval horse montage, this would be an magnificent accessory.  While this blade can be handled with one strong hand and arm, it is a two handed piece of steel.

I'm always amazed that the RAT sells for less than thirty dollars. The quality and features are exceptional. It flips open fast, locks up tight and has perfect blade centering. The AUS8 blade takes a wicked edge and touches up with a few strokes on most any sharpener. It has a solid, comfortable grip and a secure four-way pocket clip. There's even steel liners and some decent gimping on the blade. What's not to like?  The only change I made was to add a bit of non-skid tape to the left scale so it comes out of my pocket a bit faster. I give this one an easy five stars. Happy knife hunting and thanks for reading my review.

Excellent value for a quality blade set! Better than the more expensive box store blades I had been purchasing.

I was skeptical at first when ordering this "defense blade", due to the cost, as I have many top quality hunting/utility/fighting knives- all have top ratings, from D-2, 1095cr, 440a, 420a and other steels made for supreme endurance as well as edge retention. I took the time to fully research the "VG-10" material that Spyderco uses in many of their high quality knives, it has many qualities I would not need except in a "defense/offence knife"- make no mistake-I will not be using this blade for skinning, carving wood,box cutting or anything other than a carry for personal DEFENSE blade. The paperwork that Spyderco sends with this very well built knife, says just that(it also comes w/a nice case too)- as someone who has experience with self-defense, from years of high risk job locations and somewhat offensive personal work related associates. I feel that the description of how and why this design came to be, is a top solution to the reason the officials involved used this design. I worked as a welding inspector(high pressure pipe, pressure vessels) most involved exotic materials and procedures for forming, welding and stress relieving of these high quality materials- Spyderco has done their homework in the use of this very costly steel- it is the best suited steel for this type of blade. Amazon has the best price and shipping- Spyderco does have a wonderful history and warranty for their all their knives- they do extensive research on all the many blade steels,handle material and the recommended use and care of the high quality products - Thanks to both Amazon and Spyderco

We have several top quality knife of different types but this relatively affordable serated knife is our first choice for chopping or slicing any sort of vegetables.  My wife especially likes the feel of the handle and overall balance.
