Spyderco Tuff: Full Review!! An absolute tank of an EDC knife!!

[@elde667]

Bought a used/pristine one of these at a $50 discount. Liked it so much that I just bought another NIB from DLT. The first is now my EDC, the second is a safe queen. Was literally just about to buy a Medford but, after handling this knife there was no need. IMO, the best thing Spyderco has brought to market in years!

[@ZPositive]

TiCN is a common coating used on carbide machining tools like end mills and lathe tool inserts. If it's applied properly to this blade, I can't imagine a more durable coating.

[@profesorEDC]

Thanks for the info Tony👍

[@RadDadisRad]

Yep, it’s specifically used to decrease surface friction and increase surface hardness not toughness. So the benefit is a tough edge with increased hardness.

[@knifevideochannel4657]

In some instances it's actually harder then DLC when properly applied! There's definitely a misconception in the community that TiCN is substandard to DLC in every way.

[@wrjames38]

@@knifevideochannel4657 I've noticed most think it's only a "notch" above powder/traction coating. TiCN is very durable and should last a very long time.

[@jeremyspaulding7735]

Definitely quite unique. I really like the blade coating almost a translucent black. Great review brotha 👍

[@JJ-lu6mg]

Luv the new coating they are using hopefully we will see it on some other knives from Spyderco as well. I’m still hesitant to pull the trigger on this one tho, but every review on this newer version has been very positive. I might just have to get one. Great review thx 👍🏼

[@kcarsonphoto]

Great review, I ordered one based on it. I love the fast it's a Spyderco built tougher!

[@gasparortega8838]

I bought 2 of those. Awesome martial blades !

[@frankcastle4435]

Wayne keep up the good work. I love your channel. I have been in the knife game for a year or so. I have learned a lot of from your channel and Metal Complex and Slicey. I know eventually your channel will grow and be just as big as the other guys. I absolutely refuse to watch Nick Shabazz, I know he is a good dude but I would rather drag my ball sack through a mile of broken glass and barbwire than hear his voice it makes my ears cry. Sorry about that rant. Keep up the great work

[@WaynesSharpWorld]

Thank you very much, Frank! Viewers like you make it a little extra fun and enjoyable to make the content. Really appreciate your support! 👊🏼

[@bobgox]

cool looking knife, great review as always Wayne ! thanks :)

[@WaynesSharpWorld]

👊🏼🙌🏼

[@dutch_blades]

It's a shame they lost the dimples and 3V, but I'm glad to see a sprint nonetheless.

[@dn2610]

Excellent review! Great looking knife and would have picked up a Tuff but just purchased several new Adamas and a exclusive Shaman. Might regret not purchasing one now though, lol. Keep the excellent reviews coming!

[@WaynesSharpWorld]

Thanks bro! Will do! 👊🏼

[@fabiomari6190]

Great revieW man!

[@dlife7427]

Spyderco and there blade too handle ratio's. I was a huge fan for years but lately I'm leaning away from them.

[@sharpwhits0167]

"Ready to use, and ready to use hard" Dub, stop dude. You are killing me today. 🤣

[@mikegreen2214]

This knife is so much better in every way than a Medford that to even compare it to one is a bit of an insult. 😁

[@GBall_Vision]

If it was around the 250 or under mark. I would've grabbed one but if I was going to drop 300 I'd just probably get another microtech. The new m4 smock wasn't even close to 300. The para 2 in 20cv is only 190 idk where they got 300+. I do like when they are ready to use and use hard though 😂

[@sueschenosky9079]

Great review! I agree about it looking like a "Tuff" user. I heard the blade coating looks a lot like gun "bluing", which would make it cool looking. A little high in price, but not outrageous. If it had titanium liner on show side, I'd be on it in a heartbeat. I like G-10, especially on a "worker" knife.

[@sobxscooter8157]

Good review for today. My first Spyderco is out for delivery 🤗

[@GBall_Vision]

What'd you start with ? My first was a para 3 maxamet. Then the following 2 months I turned one into 10 Spyderco lol

[@sobxscooter8157]

@@GBall_Vision Para 3 S45VN. Still looking forward to my first super steel knife .

[@UR_Excluded]

The way it’s angled it seems designed to just chop. Like a pocket kukri. I agree 315 is a lot for 3.3 inches of cutting edge. However compared to real pricey stuff, it’s not that bad. Pretty soon 315 bucks will be the new 150 bucks.

[@stephenlukovich9648]

315$ for crew wear and g10 tempting but he’ll know. Like the Adams’s large for 238$ is more like it.

[@ronaldbarnes8302]

Definitely tuff looking. Seems a little pricey though. Thanks Wayne!

[@HugeCoffeeAddict]

Looks great, but that pricetag is gonna be a no from me, dawg.

[@sharpwhits0167]

"Very nice spydie hole." 🤣 I bet you say that to all the guys! You're my boy, Blue.

[@WaynesSharpWorld]

😂😂😂

[@gasparortega8838]

COOL KNIFE !

[@frankcastle4435]

Wayne you just found my wife a good Anniversary gift for me

[@WaynesSharpWorld]

Yeeeaaaa buddy! 👊🏼

[@cueball981]

That price though...for G10?

[@msharmall7298]

Yep that's what I thought too... Ridiculous.

[@GBall_Vision]

I thought 220-240 was going to be the top out price on it. Cause I was going to get one. But 310-320 is to much for me for that. Hell I just got an ultratech for 290. that's probably why there still in stock

[@bladeguru6358]

I love Spyderco. But $300+ for G10! I would have to drop another $100 for customized scales. Hard maybe 😂 🔪💕🔪

[@Nordraw]

Half an inch of non cutting blade length, makes for an interesting look

[@msharmall7298]

I hate that tbh. Reminds me of Apple claiming to be brave for removing features everyone used.

[@owawa1965]

สวยงามมากครับ

[@firstlast2514]

My kind of knife.

[@little2826]

Odd looking blade but I really like it.

[@tomweingart2337]

KINDA PRICEY!

[@messiahmindset2964]

Mine was nuts sharp out the box

[@WaynesSharpWorld]

That’s a Spyderco! 🔥🔥

[@profesorEDC]

Love the knife, but is this publicity for the company?

[@WaynesSharpWorld]

Nope, Spyderco sends me nothing. DLT does support my channel, but that will never change how I review knives or my opinion of any product. By supporting my channel they definitely assume the risk of a negative review. I’m all honesty though, I can’t remember ever reviewing a Spyderco that I really hated… 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@frankcastle4435]

Does anyone know when civivi is going to release the Altus or Cogent ?

[@WaynesSharpWorld]

Not sure on those two. I know the Bo and Stylum just dropped though.

[@RadDadisRad]

I’ve had mine for about a week now. I got mine engraved also 😈

[@RadDadisRad]

“You’re a dickhead”

[@WaynesSharpWorld]

Nice! 👊🏼

[@gmotionedc5412]

Love it. But too big for me.

[@wrestlingscout215]

How do I buy this?

[@WaynesSharpWorld]

It’s sold out. But you may want to check DLT from time to time for possible restocks.

[@PkwyDrive13]

I HATE those triangle clips though.. Ugh! Hideous

[@shannonreeder1237]

Not worth 315.

[@sticksnstonespatriot1728]

Cool....but, Too small and too expensive.

[@manifestgtr]

…and it’s still available as I write this…that basically never happens. If this were in the $200 range, I would be having a very difficult time not buying it right now. Honestly, I understand the price though…$200 isn’t realistic. A big, weird, cruwear frame lock from spyderco. If it wasn’t for the blade finish, this would be 100% in my wheelhouse.

[@richardhenry1969]

I don't consider those big knives. The smallest blade I carry is 4 inches. I guess it's hard to get a knife bigger then 2 inches into skinny jeans. Also doesn't pocket jewelry demand a flipper. But what really turns me off is liner lock. Just asking to lose a finger with a liner lock.

[@stephenlukovich9648]

Never mind. I changed my mind after watching the video. Unlike Simone boials after watching the media give her a free pass. This nice ain’t weak.

[@blackadder1966]

Too ugly, I'd rather buy 2×para 2 or 3x para 3 for the same price.

[@msharmall7298]

Cru wear, g10, same garbage pocket clip, MADE IN TAIWAN for 300$?!? Yeah, absolutely not lmao. Typical spyderco, way overpriced. Also hate how they make a big blade but only half of it is usable. There is NO reason for a finger choil to take up cutting edge space when you have an actual abundance of handle to grip.

[@havoc1zero]

I agree with everything you said except for the made in Taiwan part. The best spyderco’s come out of their Taichung factory.

[@msharmall7298]

@@havoc1zero Sure, I get that. I just think for the money, when it's an American company with an American plant, and they are charging American made prices, it shouldn't be made in their Taiwan plant. If Taiwan's factory is better, that's a whole other problem to me, not an excuse imo.

[@msharmall7298]

Also, one of the liners is stainless steel? Why on earth, on a 300$+ titanium frame lock knife, are they using steel for the other liner? G10, only one of the liners is titanium, on this expensive of a knife? What the hell is going on at Spyderco? Are they starving or is the designer just smoking crack?

[@ulissesgonzalez1430]

I'm sorry but that is one of the ugliest knives I've ever seen lol

[@msharmall7298]

I often like ugly knives, if it's utilitarian. However they lost that aspect by having half an inch of unusable blade to give more grip area on a knife that already has a handle bigger than anyone's hands would ever be able to fill.

[@kreed4]

Dumb knife. I guess collectors will safe queen. Why do folks even cover these retreads?

[@msharmall7298]

"Because Spyderco, bro" add a high price to anything and it'll be thought of as unique and amazing

[@invisibleshit8479]

For me 350 for that thing is too much

[@msharmall7298]

*way* too much.

[@WaynesSharpWorld]

$315, not $350
