I am the owner of a Spyderco Delica4 and have always owned Spyderco knives. I am looking to buy a cheap folder for my son to play around with on his projects with cutting paracord, arts and crafts, and some light camping duties.
I have come across 2 of the cheaper steels Spyderco offers and I am not able to get much information about them. I know the 8cr13MoV is similar to AUS8, however doesn't hold the edge as well; but I don't know much about the 3cr. I can assume the 3cr>8cr?
Will any guru care to share a bit of information?
Also, the standard bidirectional handle material is a bit rough against the back of my hand when i put it in my pocket and it slides against the handle. Is going to G-10 going to alleviate this issue? What are your experiences?
Thanks!
