Just got this bad boy in talk about a beefy blade..... Note the badass blade grind (on the tip of the blade)
That is a strider SNG and a paramilitary 2 next to it. The SNG is known for its robust frame. This thing is even thicker. It is kinda like the fat utility cousin of the stilletto

A freind had this lying around his house and didnt care for it,so he sold it to me for 5 dollars, Very heavy and thick but damn it feels good. The TOPS/Bucks knife is a bit different than what ive allways carried,but its all changed now. I used to carry just light weight thin knives. http://www.buck-knife-direct.com/#

The Valotten is really nice. Pretty heavy at 176g or is it one that doesn't seem heavy?
I think I expounded on the problems I had with this knife as received. Looks as if BM put a new blade on it. Hair popping sharp, as they say.

The blade is heavy however I am used to carry heavy blades so it is in my pocket and it is going to stay there until it gets old. I love me some thick blades. Probably going to be my last knife purchase until my samaritan comes in. Another really thick blade.
BM put a new blade on your knife huh. That is great customer service.....

They owed it to me the way they screwed up the first one.
BTW, I ordered a Valloten from Roger today.
What model?

Spyderco Vallotton

Gotcha and unless the blade is to heavy for your taste you will be pleasantly surprised with Vallotton the quality of this blade is pretty impressive.

It came today and it's a tiger of a knife.
The one thing I don't like about it, and this is typical of a lot of Spydercos, is that the edges of the hole are almost sharp.
Very well made, good balance in the hand, doesn't seem as heavy as it actually is, helluva blade.

Nice blade what do you think worth that thick wad of cash? What about the size of the SMF? Do you like it? The ergos on those bad boys are great....
Check your grind lines as well. One grind is farther down on one side than the other. Just noticed it and I think I am going to send the blade back to have them fix it. It might be anal but I expect perfection out of Spyderco
It's big and not a frame lock but I still luvz it...
Is that a CQC-7b? And emerson's linear locks are very robust almost equivalent to frame lock. Nice blade!

The grind is a tad wider on one side, but it may be my imagination.
I bought a BM943 recently and the grind was twice as wide on one side, 2mm vs 1, more or less and one side was a burr. Sent it back and they put a new blade on it.
