>>662326Also when I got the SPEW, I was looking at a couple other knives. I really wanted an Esee Izula (the green one) so I could wrap it in a crazy cord, but Bass Pro doesn't carry Esee. So there were 2 other CRKT's I liked.
The one in the left of the pic was cool, but I didn't like the black with green handle. I was thinking about wrapping the handle in a different color, but I didn't want it to look like shit. Plus I wasn't a fan of the blade shape.
The other one I saw is kinda like the one in the pic, but the handle was wrapped in black cord and the blade was a different shape. It looked almost like a knife a chef uses to chop veggies, where the cutting edge is totally flat, and the top of the blade is curved all the way to the tip and hits it close to a 90* angle. It wouldn't be any good for stabbing hobos.
They had some cheaper Smith and Wesson fixed blades with cord handles too, and I still like that Gerber Bear Grylls black fixed blade with orange cord. But they both looked like the quality wasn't there. The Bear Grylls knives look like bottom tier Gerber stuff.
