Really love this knife! Cross bar lock action is great. Knife arrived super sharp with great ergonomics, use all my knifes at work and this one works great. I would personally chose this product over the Benchmade Bugout esp considering the price difference. Super happy with my purchase and would recommend this knife to everyone 🙂

I lost this beauty on the hunt of my life last year and had to buy another! It’s a perfect balance between many applications…was lucky enough to clean a huge bill caribou before I lost her. Her name was stabby. 😂

Have many Spyderco knives, but I find the Endura 4 fits my hand and in my pocket so well, its my favourite. I will no doubt order another Endura at some point.

Anyone familiar with Yue Dong's masterpiece will want to latch onto one of these new Nitro V variants. The G10 is phenomenally grippy, and the throw-back styling is sure to please old school gamers, too.

Love this blade

I've always been a big proponent of the Wharncliffe blade. It's a great, no-nonsense shape for all sorts of workplace/job site cutting tasks, and just as importantly, the hard straight edge of a genuine Wharncliffe blade is very, very easy to freehand sharpen relative to other blade shapes. No need to worry about introducing inconsistencies in the edge angle on the (non-existent) belly, and there's minimal risk of rounding off the blade's tip.

But the Wharncliffe blade isn't all there is to recommend the Dirk Pinkerton-designed Main Street as a work folder. There is also the handle—it has enough size and a subtle curve to feel comfortable and stable in hand while bearing down on it in a hammer grip, but is still neutral enough that it can be securely manipulated in more unconventional and atypical ways, as is sometimes necessary when I am working. The Micarta handle scales have a good texture to them. I don't know if it's actual Norplex Micarta—probably not, at this price point—but I can actually feel the fibers of the resin-impregnated material.

The Main Street's blade steel is Crucible's 154CM, a great choice that is perfectly in line with the Main Street's list price. It's not the latest-and-greatest particle metallurgy or micro-melt process steel, but like Takefu's VG10, when properly heat treated, its edge retention can approach the low-end of CPM S35VN & it has enough toughness, edge stability & corrosion-resistance for most reasonable folding knife use contexts. Performance-wise, it is like a stainless, easier-to-maintain D2 (again, with the assumption that heat treat is on point).

As far as the locking mechanism, the Main Street has a crossbar lock (i.e., an "Axis-style" lock), which is a very strong, finger-safe & easy-to-actuate ambidextrous lock. It's also quite fidgety, for the people who are into that sort of thing.

The Main Street isn't perfect, of course. This Micarta-handled version is a bit of a chonk at about 130 grams (a little over 4.5 oz.), thanks to the full-length, skeletonized steel liners. Don't get me wrong, the full-length steel liners give the Main Street a great feeling of solidity, but that robustness does come with a slight penalty to ease-of-carry. Also contributing to this is the mass of the blade that comes from the combination of the 3.175 mm (0.125") blade stock & the blade's mid-height sabre grind. This doesn't negatively impact the knife's cutting performance as much as one would think—the broad blade means it has room to come down to a reasonably thin BTE thickness. But it definitely adds to the knife's overall heft, though at least it is perfectly balanced, with the blade offsetting the handle's weight.

Another nitpick I have with this particular version of the Main Street is with the coated thumb studs. The bright green coating—whether it is paint or PVD, I am not sure—gives the knife a bit more visual pop, but it is a bit slick, and I've found my thumb slipping off & fumbling the opening occasionally when deploying the blade with wet/sweaty hands. Not a big deal, all things considered, but it isn't an issue I have to deal with when using the G10-handled version of the Main Street (which has uncoated thumb studs).

And finally, this model could have used additional mounting holes that allow for left-handed clip attachment. It already has ambidextrous thumb studs & an ambidextrous lock, Kansept was this close to making it fully left-hander friendly. It's 2024, & it's somewhat disappointing that being fully ambidextrous still isn't a standard feature in crossbar-locking knives.

All in all, however, I recommend the Main Street as a work folder and as a larger EDC knife. It offers excellent functionality/ergonomics & good materials at a decent price.

Excellent knife

they look good they gave the knife lock stick, and the pocket clip is far too tight to use, but they look good

LOVE this little knife, super sharp and snappy blade. The toothpick and tweezer are an awesome addition without any added bulk.

Came on time, exactly what.i ordered.

Exceeding my expectations

Amazing quality, excellent grip love the deeeeep pocket clip .

It came quickly, looks really nice, super happy

Cant go wrong with buck

It will be a great EDC blade for the farm and work. It's flat, a decent size, and easy to carry. The sheath is garbage, an unfortunate mistake by Benchmade. I've already order a kydex from Armatus Carry. The Dacian is too expensive, especially with the stock sheath.

Great, have two, may order another one soon!

This knife sports a snappy crisp front flipper, with a very sharp edge that is a breeze to sharpen beyond factory sharpness, after heavy usage, as a great overall EDC carry. Great companion to the Tactorix, Praxis and Nugz, as part of a Civivi carry of the week.

Great fold

very nice compact skinning and field knife

It does exactly what I expected.
