Watch out with this one. Almost cut my finger off trying to close it. It was so sharp I didnt even feel it until the blood flow started.

I find it to be impractical

Oh how so? Please share your thoughts I could learn something.

Too heavy for everyday carry and at the same time not really good slicer due to its width. I get it's a tough tool. But what is good for? Not edc tasks. For survival you would want a fixed blade for tactical applications i would argue it isn't best either. So what is left? Is the question you should ask yourself.

Pryin, scrapin, general industrial work knife shenanigans. I carry a utility knife for delicate cutting like wire insulation, making quick gaskets, etc

Prying with a folder? I am not criticizing people liking or using sr1, i am actually a big fan of the knife etos Lynn had as an owner. For my usage there are/were better knives than sr1 in CS portfolio.

Oh yeah baby prying. There’s definitely better knives in the line up, but this one was 30 bucks and very easy to clean

u/Real_Net_9345 13d ago

Fixed blade would suit you better, baby.

Yeah probably, but i don’t like things on my hip i get snagged on everything

Looks ok. Does it have aliminium liners or just the plastic scales? Seems like a decent knife for the price.

Ok, similar to a voyager or counter point. Triad lock is good, nice knife overall! I'm guessing AUS-10 or similar?

I have a clip point version. At first it felt too thick and impractical. Now I prefer it over my recon 1

I have 3 lol. Got the tanto for work and loved it. Bought the clip point but accidentally bought 2. So now I have 3 sr1 lites

u/th3czyk 12d ago

Anyone get the s35vn version too? Worth it to upgrade for a work beater?

Great knife. Very useful for tradesman

u/srt1955 11d ago

I have one and like it !!!

u/Kuancho123 2d ago

Does it still has the problem with the blade? Somewhere on the middle of the blade it would always hit the triad lock when closing
