Is this a good every day carry knife ??

Yes, in my opinion it is a good EDC knife. I don't carry it everyday, but I do carry it a lot and have not had any issues. It's very comfortable to carry.

It's a large fixed blade knife. If one wanted to carry it around on a belt more power to them, but I think it would become more akward than convenient. I mostly use mine when I'm out camping.

Only if your job is outdoors. Otherwise no. It's pretty big, and you need a dangler to carry it comfortably. A folder for EDC is a better choice.

If you live in the mountains then yes it is a good EDC but if you live in the city it is too big. I like the mini griptilian for EDC

I carry every time I go in the woods but everyday at work it may be a bit large if your not a farmer

I carry this daily along with my Kershaw Leek. However it's not an everyday utility knife. I use my Leek for normal stuff and this elegant folder for food only.

Well for me this knife is a tool that I use everyday at work. If you flick it aggressively with your finger (like youre suppose to) you wont have any problems

I've been carrying the same Blur almost daily for the last 5 years or so, two of which were spent on active duty in the Marine Corps and included a deployment to Afghanistan. I've beaten the heck of mine without a single issue, though it does look worse-for-wear at this point. Very solid and highly recommended as a general-purpose utility knife.

I'm not sure as far as that goes but I can say I used it as my edc for almost a year, and the only reason I stopped was bc I purchased a new knife. It's great, especially for the price, I used it for everything from a screw driver to a hammer and the thing only that "I" messed up on it was nicks in the handle (obviously from using it as hammer) Sheath held up nicely (still perfectly fine) and the blade is surprisingly sturdy. I honed the blade once a week only because I'm particular about the edge. I would purchase it again if I needed to. It withstood all my tests. BTW I work in a fabrication/semi repair shop.

Yes, this is a premium knife with a lifetime warranty. They will even sharpen it for free if you ship to them. It is the sharpest knife I have ever had and I use it daily to break down cardboard. I have had it for 2 months now and it is still razor sharp with no nicks in the blade. I did buy a deep pocket carry clip on eBay for mine, to wear it tip up...

Is this knife worth the money? I believe so, since its been my everyday carry blade for about 2 years now. holds an edge well, and it also disappears into your pocket with its bayonet clip. if you buy this blade, chances are you wont regret it

I've had it for a month today, the 11th. It came to me out of the box, Sharp as a razor. It is used daily for random little things. As of today it is still sharp enough to take the hair off my arm. I am not too sure as to how well it Sharpens, but it stays pretty sharp for a long time. If you want a knife that wont cost you a fortune, then go with this one. You will not be let down by it.

I can not respond to the abilities of the spyderco, but can say that the benchmade is one of the best EDC's I have owned. I have owned many others, but the fit, finish, and feel of the benchmade works well for me. It fits in my pocket and doesn't clutter, if fits my hand very well, has a good grip, stays sharp, and is very easy to sharpen when needed.

It's the width and weight of the knife that is different from other models normally carried. With the knife on its side in your pocket, it's a couple of inches "high", so you don't want to have a lot of other "stuff" in there with it, such as a cell phone. I daily carry the smaller version of this knife in regular cotton pants or jeans + my wallet in left front pocket with no problems. This model is just a little heavy for me to daily carry in a pocket, that's why I got the belt holster for it. I carry this knife on special occasions when I think I might need the extra tools this knife has. It CAN be carried in a normal size pocket, but I wouldn't count on carrying a lot more in the same pocket. If you're concerned about "lumps" or wear super tight fitting pants, you will have a big lump with this knife. I gladly put up with the lump and weight in my pocket, though, for the tools and utility this knife provides.

I bought this knife for every day cooking, it works very well for that purpose. I have had it for several months now and use it quite often, it is still very sharp. I have not even needed to sharpen it yet.

I own this knife and would say it is a little too much for a purse. It is a very heavy knife. I do like the knife but I like my Spyderco knives better. I have a Spyderco Military and a Delica 4.

It is a nice Knife, heavy enough to do any cutting task, not terribly bulky or heavy either, the clip on mine is extremely snug when in my jeans almost to the point of hard to get out which is good so I don't have to worry about loosing it. On the other hand it is a bit hard to get out on the fly, but I your adrenaline is pumping you probably wouldn't even notice. It flips open and locks with authority and mine was razor sharp out of the box. Hope this was helpful.

Yes, I believe it is, very well balanced. You can double check me though if you go to the SOG website and check the specs on that knife. Love it!!! Hope this helps.

The knife is on the heavy side but is very reliable. As for a knife that is stylish and is lighter made with the same type of steel I would personally go with a spyderco sage carbon fiber as the blade length is almost the same I and the choral near the blade is really nice for cutting. Also the leaf blade design really stands out. If you don't want to break the bank the spyderco stretch, and endura are longer other options with nice steel. I own lots of other pocket knives from different makers but I like the feel of spyderco knives over most knife manufacturers.

at the moment I'm carrying my Benchmade, but the Kershaw is an excellent knife. the blade length would be really close to the length of youe ID. It is slim enough to carry concealed though.

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
