What's the difference between vg10 and 154cm?

Very little in terms of practical EDC use.

mini grip with d2 steel for 95

$10 more for a steel that isn't as suitable as 154CM for pocket knives.

Thank God.

Outside of blade steels it's a matter of ergonomics. I really like Benchmade's Axis system. Does need more attention than the simple lockback of the Spyderco. Spyderco will be thinner, lighter, and the thin grind profile of the VG10 blade will allow it to take an extremely fine edge if you wanted it to. I keep looking over Mini Grips but they are not as good a value as they were when they were $50 - $60 and 440C.


My current pocket knife is a $250 Microtech Ultratech S/E with an Elmax steel blade. Not terribly practical but more fun...
