[QUOTE="ez bake, post: 2438554, member: 229"] Yeah, I guess the Spyderco's blade-thickness isn't that big of a deal (I just dug out my old sabre-grind Delica and they're much beefier feeling than the FFG versions), and the Hawk-bill adds even more structural rigidity. I've never even held an Emerson Karambit, but that one in the video looks like it would feel like holding a brick - I can't imagine trying to do anything with a folder that fat (but again, I'm no Karambit guy, that might be what one looks for in a Karambit). I do wonder how the Spyderco deploys with that back-lock. Back-locks inherently have more drag than typical liner locks due to not having a ball-detent (with lock-backs, it's usually just the lock-face riding the backside of the pivot). Still, with a wave or the Spydie-hole, it should deploy quickly enough - I'd just like to see a comparison between the two. [/QUOTE]
