For holding and edge and preformance, CRKT's are still better, but i can buy 2 spatha's, pay tax and shiping for the price of a comparable CRKT, plus this is still a fine nife, especilly for climbing/outdoors. i've found nothing to complian about yet, only my feeling sfor my lost CRKT keep me from giving this knife a 5. i have the serrated version and cuts like a dream.

my first shoe, probaly to large, but thats not the shoes fault. still this is the mosr comfortable shoe i own. period. and i'm an ex cross country runner who's anal about his feet and this leave evey shoe, running shoes included in the dust when it comes to comfort in doing what it was ment to do. after climbing abit more (and getting some more money) i'll get a more aggressive shoe, but this was all i could ask for and more for a first shoe. especilly when you consider this shoe can easily be had for $69 instead of $99 if you just nose around on the net
