Quite possibly one of the best values for an everyday carry knife. You will be impressed!
I'm an avid knife collector and this SPEW(small personal everyday wharncliffe) is an absolutely amazing knife. Feels great in your hand. Easy to carry as well. Super sharp right out of the package. Pointy too! I gifted this to my son and he loves it. Anyone who sees it or checks it out are impressed indeed. Columbia River Knife and Tool knocked this one out of the park! I wish I would have bought another for myself. This knife is definitely a keeper! if you haven't tried CRKT knives, i recommend this as a great starting point.

Great neck knife
It is a very comfortable. I have multiple neck knives from CRKT and will continue to get more that I find that I like. This knife feels well made and fit snug in the sheath. It is easy to pull but has not yet in the time that I own it felt that it would fall out on it's own. I am a fan of the orange color as well. It is bright and will stand out if dropped. I like the shape of the blade. If you are looking at it, then you should get it. It has been worth the money. It is not just a part of my collection but something I use and depend on. Blade shape makes it easy to keep sharp.

Really Really nice but too pricey, for what it is.
I already did own a CRKT MINIMALIST WHARNCLIFFE, which costs much less than this S.P.E.W. and is almost as good ... maybe better. So ... The Minimalist has better handle ergonomics, with DEEP choils, in the grip ... THIS SPEW sibling has a "prettier" grip and a LONGER BLADE, which does come in way more handy when it comes to sectionning an apple or a pear or performing other food-related chores. I do imagine that the SPEW might be a more effective defensive weapon, due strictly to it's increased length, over the Minimalist. I would have to (reluctantly) recommend the SPEW over the Minimalist, due (ONLY) to the extra blade length which ... yeah ... COULD save your life and will allow a broader range of useful tasks. The price and the grip of the Minimalist ARE superior, tho. I'll just say it ... It should be obvious that it would NOT take much to break the tip off of the SPEW ... BUT ... cutlerylover said that he did a bit of torture testing, on this tip, and that he was surprised that the tip did NOT break ... see his video review, on YT. I should also mention that, as with the Minimalist, the sheath and the included accessories (lanyard, neck-cord, belt-loop) are useful and are excellent (first rate!). I am going to dock this fine blade ONE STAR, for a total rating of FOUR STARS, STRICTLY BECAUSE OF THE UNDULY HIGH PRICE-TAG ... This knife WOULD be a fair value at $29, delivered. It would be a steal at anything under $25 delivered. The Minimalist is a GREAT VALUE but the SPEW IS OVER-PRICED, by $10, (IMO). I did buy it anyway, but I am not as happy, with the pricing, as I was with the Mnimalist. Despite the stiff pricing, the SPEW really does provide a very high degree of utility, in a small and lightweight system that can be worn as a neck-knife, a boot-knife, or on a belt or strap, using the included sheath and accessories. Easily, one of the top-ten neck-knives.

Worth the purchase
Good quality knife with an excellent grip on the handle.

Good all around knife.
I’ve owned several CRKT knives. I really wanted to like them. Sadly, it’s becoming more difficult to find knives made in the USS. Many of the folders always seem to either loosen in the handle, or rivets come out of the pocket clip. I bought a small, fixed blade of theirs, and nearly lost it because of the crappy, though, well made sheath. I turned to this one because it was only 30.00, and worth the risk (yet one more time). This one turned out to be more than worth it, though I had pretty low expectations to begin with. It’s extremely light weight and East to wear around your neck. It even comes with a very sturdy cord, already attached. Though small, the blade is full tang and the handle material seems to be well attached. The advantage to this knife is it frees up pocket space for keys and wallet and other daily items without cluttering to my belt, which already carries a multi-tool. I can think of a thousand reasons why you might want to wear a neck knife like this one. If you wear waters to fly fish or hunt in, you never know when you might need to cut them off, in an emergency. This knife can certainly do that. If you’re opening s box but don’t normally carry a knife, you’ll always have this one with you. Done owning it, I’ve even used it as a steak knife, in a pinch. Sharpening it is easy, due to its straight blade shape and just requires a few swipes across a stone. It comes razor sharp out of the box but the metal is soft enough it’s easy to sharpen, my number one rule when buying a knife. If you cannot sharpen it, it’s useless. All in all, a well thought out design and build and very functional on a daily basis. A great gift for any outdoorsman or anyone working outside who is tired of fishing around in their pocket for a folding knife.

Quite a good little knife for it's intended purpose. It is a neck knife so if you think it's small then maybe ask yourself what you'd like to carry around on your neck all day. I personally have it on the belt as you hardly notice it's there. Made in china just so you're aware. But holds a lovely edge and feels exceptional in the hand.

I own alot of knives my last small belt knife got screwed up so I decided to go with a different company. I got to say this has bin the best small belt knife I bought yet. The knife and sheath are built really well and the blade is razor sharp. Anyone looking to get a small belt knife this would be it. The only thing I would say I don't care for is the paracord rope hanging off the end of the handle but that's just a minor thing.

Ottimo è il rapporto qualità - prezzo. La lama è tagliente e ben affilata. Il manico è anatomico compatibilmente con le dimensioni

Schönes, gut ausbalanciertes Messer. Durch die geringe Größe und die sehr schlanke, spitze Form nichts für grobe Fälle, aber im Alltag immer ausreichend. Schärfe ist gut. Schnitthaltigkeit ist dem Material entsprechend in Ordnung. Muss öfter nachgeschliffen werden. Dabei muss man vorsichtig sein, um die recht filigrane Spitze nicht aus Versehen abzurunden…
