I've carried many Spydercos, one Gerber, and one CRKT M18-14. I didn't like the Gerber at all. After many Spydercos (mostly Delicas and Enduras), the CRKT had a really nice feel to it. It has a lot more weight (which is both good and bad). The action was very smooth. In my opinion, it didn't hold an edge nearly as well as the Spydercos, so I'm carrying a Spyderco Pacific Salt now...

I treat my knifes relatively well and don't use them as prying tools, only for cutting. I tend to not sharpen them very often at all. Like I said, the Spydercos keep an edge with extremely infrequent sharpening. The CRKT may be a better knife in many ways, but I don't feel like sharpening it as often as mine would require to keep the same edge the Spydercos always seem to have.

FYI: From the Spyderco website:

* Sharpening -- complimentary provided the edge of the knife is not severely damaged -- please include $5.00 for shipping and handling.
