Delta Class Divergent 7.4in with 3in AUS-8 Steel Blade and G10 Handle for EDC,Black

Bom canivete, abertura suave,boa trava,bem afiado e bom acabamento!

My dad was a huge Schrade fan that carried a stockman type Schrade every day for about the last 50 years of his life. He had other Schrade knife for hunting and utility work, and those old Schrade's were very well made knives. So, I've always been a knife-guy that has a soft spot for Schrade. I've carried some sort of Benchmade or Spyderco in my pocket for the past 25 years. I'm a huge fan of the Benchmade Axis lock, so I was curious to check out some knives from other makers with a similar locking mechanism after Benchmade's patent expired. In all honesty - the Divergent is a huge home run for Schrade! Comparing the Divergent side-by-side with my Benchmade that cost almost 5x the price of the Schrade, it's hard to understand why the Divergent doesn't cost at least twice as much as it does. The Benchmade does have better blade steel, and slightly better ergonomics. The Divergent is very nice, but not in the same league as the Benchmade (and you shouldn't expect it to be.) The action of the knife is surprisingly smooth. It locks up tight. The G10 scales are very nice. The fit and finish of the entire knife is excellent. The hole pattern for the clip appears to be the same as Benchmade, so you could swap out the clip for a different style if you wish. The only "negative" is the blade steel (AUS-8), which is a good blade steel for a knife at this price point. The knife wasn't quite as sharp as I hoped for right out of the package, but it does sharpen easily. I predict that Schrade will sell a ton of these. Also, the packaging is a "blister pack" type. The Divergent is an excellent knife for a bargain price! Update after using for several weeks - I'm still a big fan of this knife! In my initial review, I mentioned that the hole pattern for the pocket clip appears to match Benchmade. The Schrade pocket clip is a bit shorter and stiffer than most other pocket clips, so I attempted to replace it with a factory Benchmade pocket clip. I discovered that the hole pattern does match Benchmade, however the screw size is a bit larger (the screw head uses the same driver, but the shaft of the screw is larger than what is used on a Benchmade Griptilian). Maybe that will be helpful to someone.

Buen filo, ligera, el mango cómodo.

Canivete excelente.

Buena retención de filo en tareas diarias El seguro de la hoja es firme y fácil de manipular El único pero que le pongo es que el clip no es para porte profundo De lo demás es perfecta para mí
