Spyderco Vallotton Sub-Hilt Folding Knife, CPM-S30V, G10 Black, C149GP
[C149GP]

Despite being designed like a collector/gentleman's folder, I took this knife during my deployment. It has been covered in sand, oil, sweat, sea water, and other undesirable stuff for almost 2 month now. The knife so far has suffered only small amount of rust and have withstand chipping, and held its edge after using it to cut piece of wood (carving), cardboard, thick rubber piping, and heavy fabric.

For most people, this will not be an EDC knife because of its weight. You will notice it throughout the day.

Handle is polished G10 material and does not hold good traction when wet/oily. Gimping is excellent.

Blade itself is very thick, almost 2-4 times thicker than most EDC knife.

I did not like the clip. It did not feel like it was part of the knife, and it made the knife stick about (about 1/4 inch) from the pocket. I kind of wish it was matte/dull black, maybe I should have removed it.

Best part about it is that if you open it fast enough, it will sound like a putting a round into a pistol. A loud action click. I strongly suggest anyone to consider this knife as part of your collection.
