Spyderco Centofante

First off if you are not use to carrying a knife every day don't get an expensive knife right of the bat if you lose it you feel like crap and you don't have a backup. Get a couple of good inexpensive ones first like, Spyderco Centofante 3, Kershaw Chill, or Kershaw Skyline All of which I have carried for over 5 years. After a while go for the Benchmade 940, Microtech, or Zero Tolerance.

This is probably my tenth Spyderco. I have been nothing but pleased with each one. The Centofante III, unfortunately, is my least favorite. That's not to say its a bad knife, far from it in my opinion. It just seems to lack the Spyderco quality I'm used to. The first thing about this knife is how ni...

I was honestly a little disappointed with this knife. I ordered it a while ago and was very much so looking forward to its arrival for the duration. The blade steel is good. Came pretty sharp. Had a nice comfortable weight to it. But it's pin construction, as stated in the description. And a few of ...

I figured I was taking a gamble on this knife when I ordered it for a couple reasons: Riveted pillars and pivot pin don't allow for any adjustment of the knife whatsoever, and obviously you can't inspect your exact knife before you order it to make sure it's put together decently. Well, I guess I wa...

Overall a decent enough knife, sharp out of the box and all that. One of the first things I did when I got it earlier today was switch it from tip down carry to tip up carry. When I did this I noticed that one of the three screws that holds the clip in place spun somewhat freely in it's hole. I thou...

I carried this briefly as an EDC blade, as it's nice and lightweight and has a good blade. Unfortunately the handle is slippery and does not give a confident grip, unlike my other Spyderco knives. The thumb jimping is nice, but there's no corresponding finger choil, which would have improved the gri...

Love the design and materials used, however the blade does have play side to side that gives it a very cheaply made feel. Spyderco products are made to use. I feel a bit of strain on this blade in the wrong direction would result in failure. Riveted together leaves you no choice on snugging anything...

I like the looks of the knife, but the handle is too slick, the gap when the knife is closed is so sharp that when drawing the knife from a pocket it will damage your clothes. The blade is thin for slicing but you'll find yourself using other better suited knives if you have the choice. The knife is...

Have several SpyderCos. This is not their best but quite good and worthy of 4 stars.

Minus one star because the (quite unnecessary) embedded SpyderCo symbol fell out. Find the resulting edges annoying.

I am a big fan of Spyderco knives. The quality of the blades is excellent, and they are relatively cheap. I own 3 Spyderco knives (Centofante 3, Delica, and Endura), and this knife is the lowest quality of the three. It also happens to be the nicest looking of the three. I have owned this knife for ...
