This is an awesome looking knife I love it for that reason but unless you are a professional or very capable knife sharpener you will always have a dull knife. This blade has tweo different bevels. It is a modified tanto. It has a regular bevel along the straight part blade and then where it starts to curve up it is a concave bevel. Instructions do not state this. Out of the box my knife was not very sharp and I tried to sharpen it and gave up and sent to Spyderco for sharpening it came back duller than I had it. If Spyderco can't sharpen it. That means it will have to be done by someone that is very experienced in sharmening. I would suggest having a normal 30 degree bevel set all the way along the edge by who ever sharpens it so you can maintain the edge yourself.

Knife that can't cut it...Can't even cut through a head of lettuce easily.

First spyderco buy for me and it feels ok in the hands, The steel VG-10 is great. Holds for sometime, but is extremely easy to sharpen.... Dont like the lock back. Its weak when you cut anything else besides cardboard or paper. Used to take bark off of some wood and some other light duty work with it. Main line, if you are only cutting paper material and or use for food its a great knife. Want a little work out of your knife... Get one of the linerlock, frame locks, compression lock or that "roll back lock?" spyderco has. Great steel just needs better handles and different lock mechanism for me

What I had assumed to be a useful spyderco knife turned out to be a piece of junk that takes two hands to open, and is even harder to close.  It is big, bulky, and clumsy.

Great knife. Its the second one ive owned. A real workhorse and keeps a sharp egde. Only negative, it's suddenly made in Asia. had I caught this I would have passed.

This is my first Spyderco knife, and I know for a fact it will not be my last. This knife is huge! over a 4" blade, and it was razor sharp right out of the box. Its really a huge knife, with a really nice blade. Love the way it looks, and feels in my hand. The design is really nice and it has a nice hole for para cord. Its not an assisted opening knife, but the hole in the blade makes for very easy opening. Love this knife, can't wait to get another Spyderco.

Love this knife.  It opens up quickly, locks up perfect but will sometimes pinch hand.  I can't believe how sharp the blade is out of the box. Too bad Spyderco doesn't make a trainer to pair with this.

This knife is an absolute diamond, spyderco has managed to make an absolutely fantastic, relatively unknown knife, for a very reasonable price you can get this titanium scaled, frame lock flipper that runs on bearings with what is just about one of the best and under used steels on the market, with a steel lockbar insert.
You get the same size cutting edge as the much beloved spyderco paramilitary 2, only in a smaller package that opens lightning fast with multiple deployment options, you can use the flipper tab, open it by the thumb hole or spydie flick it with your pointer or index finger.
The full flat ground blade is made in CPM M4 tool steel, an under used and under appreciated super steel that takes a wicked edge and keeps that edge for a, frankly, absurd amount of time. I use my knives hard, for breaking down boxes, carving antique hard woods, food prep and various other abrasive and difficult to cut materials and the steel on the mantra keeps on cutting, I have never had the edge chip, even when accidentally hitting staples, screws or other pieces of metal, the edge simply rolls slightly which can be easily corrected with a leather or wood strop, the edge mirror polishes easily and resists scratches from most cutting media, and the edge stability is phenomenal, both the mantra and my Benchmade 810 contego in M4 have easily taken and held a 12 degree per side edge bevel with 25 dps micro bevel and were it not for my worries that I would scratch the blade flats I would happily take it down much lower that that.

The mantra is an excellent value, the knife is well made, feels like quality and dollar for dollar is one of the best cutting tools you can get for the price.

The blade is fine but the frame lock gets stuck and doesn't unlock also the knife is extremely stiff and needs oil. the blade centering is terrible.

A serrated kitchen knife is a joy forever but there are better choices than this Spyderco. Take a look at the Wusthof 5.5" Gourmet Serrated Sandwich Knife, which has a slightly longer blade, a space for your fingers, a rounded tip for safety and spreading, and most important a slight bevel on the back side of the edge (opposite from the scalloped side) which makes it possible to sharpen precisely by drawing a ceramic rod. The Spyderco is just flat to the edge on the back side, which means no way to sharpen without changing the grind from the factory angle. Wusthof costs more but a superior design.

I don't know what the deal is with this knife but i have had to return 2 of them and now im waiting on the third one. The first one looked like it had been opened. It didn't look used but it was opened. The second one had a stripped adjustment screw which i find very odd because its not a screw thats torqued down. The knife itself functioned okay but there was a clear difference between the first two that i got. The first one had very positive sounding clicks and the second one not so much. I knocked 1 star because i believe that there may be some quality control issues at Spyderco and i knocked off another star because the handle looks washed out to me. I have a ton of Spyderco knives have never experienced this issue so take it with a grain of salt but i have had issues getting an acceptable Spyderco ParaMilitary2 Camo

The Spyderco Triangle Sharpmaker is absolutely amazing! For years I have used stones for sharpening and always got a decent edge. Last year I bought my mother the Chefs Choice 130 Pro sharpener for Christmas, its much quicker and for kitchen knives it's probably the preferred sharpener. The Spyderco is a little more time consuming, but you are able to create an unbelievable edge with no skill.

For Christmas this year, my girlfriend gave me the Spyderco, claiming it was better than the Chefs Choice 130; I was apprehensive. The sharpener itself is surprisingly austere, while the included DVD is mindbogglingly boring. While boring and amateurish in quality, the DVD is comprehensive and quickly teaches you everything you could possibly want to know about sharpening with the Spyderco. On a side note: I believe the owner of Spyderco and his wife introduce the product in the DVD. During the whole video the owner looks horribly constipated and upset about his situation... it's mildly disturbing.

To test the product I pulled out several completely dull and slightly chipped knives. Following the directions exactly, I was able to sharpen the worst knife to a clean razor edge in less than 10 minutes. Left me wondering why anyone would buy the Ultra Fine Triangle or the Diamond rods, you really don't need them, you can turn rough junk into a hairsplitter with everything in the box. Wonderful product! I'm so pleased, I'm buying one for each of my employees next year for Christmas.

Beautiful looking knife but 2 other things. One the knife is super dull and the other is it is to heavy. Main issue is that it won't hardly cut through a carrot. Very disappointed. :-(

This is a big knife. Opens smoothly and at that point looks very ominous. Only wish I could get it in a serrated combo blade. The biggest reason I bought this knife was the low low price. $40 dollars and free shipping! I have a Spyderco Military which is in the same size category as this one but is 4X the price. Save the money and get the Resillience.

The steel is junk.  Don't buy this knife or any other that condor makes.

Wonderful knife but don't buy your SAK knives on amazon! They keep shipping very scratched and with a very tattered box

Knife is MOST difficult to extract from sheath--may work loose with time--I have another type sheath to use for now--BUT--the knife has no cutting edge--I can NOT even cut paper--the bevel is ground but no cutting edge---The knife is very nice and well made, good feel and I expect it to be a
great bush-craft knife--------but not until I have a usable sheath and an edge on the knife that cuts---it's not worth my time to send it back for
exchange-I may only get another knife in the same unusable condition--I will sharpen it myself and buy a new sheath--I do think the knife is
worth that effort---I should not have to do these things-- I just got a BAD one -----I bought 2 other knives from the same manufacturer with this one and those other two were just fine  -----Nice  knife  Bad  provided product--no Quality control
