Spyderco budget line has thinner grind than a lot of mainstream knives. Good cuters.

[@SpartanJohns]

Yes....some of their budget knives have decent grinds. Best grind I got so far was on my K390 Endela. Got it recently....but it is not without some qc issues....

Cool video. I use the Dragonfly 2 Salt with H1 steel for cutting cardboard boxes and such, and it does a very nice job (I rounded the top "beak" a bit for comfort), though my newest EDC is the serrated Manbug Salt in H2 steel (I only have 2 serrated knives in my collection), as it is even smaller than the Dragonfly, and has a sheepsfoot blade, thus is less threatening to people, if I'm getting it out of the pocket BTW did you mod the Caribbean handles?

[@SpartanJohns]

I dyed the scales on the Caribbean to a dark red. I like them much more now. I never liked serrations on knives. So I started testing serrations vs fine edges. I learned to sharpen serrations. I can't say i like serrations now...but i like to sharpen them and play around with them. For small knives, and salt knives...they could make sense.

Byrd are good knives and a good budget price. I still prefer the regular Spyderco's like the Tenacious and Resilience but I like bigger knives. If you try some other brands can you review one from CJRB in AR RPM9 steel. I'm curious to see how you like that particular steel.

[@SpartanJohns]

I never tried CJRB. Wanted at one point but never got around to it. I assume their steel will be similar to most in that class. I think that cutting geometry is much more important than the steel. I liked the Pirite but, ike I said, never got around to it

@@SpartanJohns The Resource is my favorite one from them because I like large folders and the blade is 4.15in. full flat grind and for $70 it's rock solid

[@SpartanJohns]

The Resource is a big one. I like big knives. When it comes to big solid knives i do prefer cold steel. Simply because of the tri-ad lock.

@@SpartanJohns I'm a die hard CS fan but the Resource is a solid blade
