If you're going to judge a folding knife by the sounds it makes then move the Spyderco Navaja to the top of the class.

Designed by TNP friend Ed Schempp, the Navaja is a blend of modern tactical and Spanish Navaja influences and it is a homerun. The CPM S30V steel blade is almost four inches long and is of an intriguing, unusual shape...hearkening back to its namesake. It is flat ground from the spine and arrives wicked sharp. This high quality US-produced steel, known for its homegenity, edge holding, and toughness is a good choice. This blade features outstanding and useful jimping on both top and bottom which, along with wide finger choils, allows for serious and versatile gripping possibilities. This makes the Navaja a serious contender for tactical use. The blade shape, while different, has excellent belly and a seemingly strong tip. It launches out of the handle with an incredible thwack. Weight is not super light at 5.2 ounces, probably attributable to the stainless steel bolsters. It features a strong Walker liner lock and the 420 SS liners are thankfully skeletonized (otherwise it'd be 6 oz). Lockup is solid and sure. The carbon fiber handle scales are excellent and much improved over past iterations of Spyderco CF (discussed, shown). They do provide some traction. Clip is standard Spyerco and features an attractive black chrome finish. It ...
