Spyderco Polestar Liner Lock Knife Gray G-10 (3.3" Satin) C220GPGY

I like how this is somewhat a budget price but a good upgrade from the typical budget line. The CTS-BD1 steel is well worth the extra few dollars. It really feels like a higher priced knife in quality

I wasn’t 100% sure how I would like this. It’s an upgraded Tenacious and on paper it appeared to be a great EDC. I like the almost full cutting edge in a relatively compact package (compared to an Endura at least). The knife was very smooth out of the box and I was very surprised by the level of finish throughout. This is the first Spydie I’ve owned with a fully chamfered Spydie hole! As my first Chinese Spyderco I really wasnt sure what to expect, but compared to the Taiwanese Cat I’d say this was one of my better quality knives, though it wasn’t the sharpest out of the box. For me this is a decently priced, excellently made and efficient cutting tool with some good looking G10.

I love this knife. Save yourself 100 bucks and buy this knife if you like the para military II. It feels exactly the same, the g-10 grips are nice, the weight of the knife is perfectly balanced and it feels like a more expensive knife despite being made in China. The BD1 blade comes very sharp. This is a very attractive knife with the translucent gray grips and stainless clip, blade, and screws. If the blade said Golden on it I would not question that is was made in the USA.
