Review: Modern slipjoint perfection - The Roadie is a great knife for anybody working/living in an environment that is not friendly to knives, or anybody who needs something light-duty to use every day. The available colors (and I'm hoping more will be released) make this small folder friendly and non-threatening to everybody. Of course, this doesn't take away from the utility of the knife itself at all. Although the blade is small, the sheepsfoot design is both safe and functional. The choil also adds an extra measure of caution, both protecting your fingers from the edge as well as stabilizing the slipjoint and preventing the blade from closing on your hand. Although I usually prefer to carry one-handed opening knives, the Roadie is an excellent option when both hands are free and the "double dent" is an ingenious solution to infuriating nail nicks. Lastly, I've grown to love the N690Co steel - corrosion resistant, easy to sharpen, and holds a decent edge. Overall the Roadie feels very much like a modern imagining of traditional slip joint knives, and improves the downsides of those knives in every way.
Review: If it were full retail price it would be 3 stars - Underwhelmed is a good way to describe my feelings on this blade. I have never been a big fan of Spyderco's style and designs before but I've been on a bit of a nostalgic slip joint buying spree and the roadie caught my eye. Now for the 50-60 dollar price tag it's not a horrible knife. If it had been the full 80 for a knife of this size with the meh fit and finish it brings to the table I would say Spyderco should be ashamed. The bad: The blade is not even close to centered. The spring bar is not flush with the spin at any point closed it is recessed and half to full open both leave the spring bar proud. It was moderately sharp out of the box but by no means ready to slice to world. Lastly if you go by the picture it should be a nice sapphire/ royal blue. It comes a pale sort of Blade HQ Ben blue. The good: the spine of the knife is sharp enough to throw Sparks off a ferro rod like a boss which really was a nice surprise to me, it's legal to carry just about anywhere, the walk and talk of this knife is amazing, and the gimping and finger choil allow you to get pretty good purchase on this knife despite it's diminutive stature. In short, would I buy it for 80 bucks? Never ever, but for around 50 I think I have spent that much on worse products, although I feel with the following they have this is not Spyderco's best showing.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ and super sharp. Some people have told me that you ...
*by A***R on February 6, 2018*

I carry this around my neck when I'm wearing sweats or shorts and am afraid of my knife slipping out of my pocket. Even though it's small, the choil allows your hand to fit all four fingers around it and it is really pleasant to use. It's non-threatening, and super sharp. Some people have told me that you can take these on planes, and you may have heard that, too. Public Service announcement as someone who travels a lot: Sometimes you can get away with it, but please just don't try. Some people are jerks, and this is a nice knife I'd hate for you to lose. TSA is moving towards allowing small pocket knives on planes because they distract from looking for actual threats, like bombs and whatnot, but not everybody has adapted, so please just don't. I've accidentally lost a knife before that way and it was under two inches and really thin etc. all the requirements, but it is generally at the TSA workers' discretion to decide if it's ok or not. They may have had a bad day--you don't know. So, don't risk it if you don't have to. Besides, I am a firm believer of always having a knife on me everywhere, but to this day, I've never needed a knife on the plane or airport, and I can always pick it up from my luggage when I get where I'm going (provided they don't lose my luggage). Sorry for the unrelated rant. BUY THE KNIFE IT"S SOOOO AWESOME AND TINY.
