Designed for budget conscious knife users who demand genuine Spyderco quality, the Polestar™ features a leaf-shaped PlainEdge™ blade crafted from American-made CTS® BD1N stainless steel. The full-flat ground blade is paired with an ergonomic, lightweight, open-backed handle built with full, skeletonized stainless steel liners and gray peel ply-textured G-10 scales. A LinerLock mechanism locks the blade securely open when in use yet is easily released thanks to a strategically placed relief cut in the handle. A four-position hourglass clip with a broad, triangular base ensures instant access and provides a choice of ambidextrous tip-up or tip-down carry. Notes The Chinese Spydercos all offer excellent value for their price point. From time to time, I carry my Tenacious or Persistence or even Resilience and find myself impressed with the build quality and cutting performance since the blades are ground quite well. If you want a reliable, well designed and built workhorse and you don't mind sharpening, this would be perfect for you!
