Maker:<\/h3>\n<p><i>The reasons for certain design choices may not be clear when simply looking at an object, so this section is intended to give an insight into the thinking behind a design by speaking to the designer themselves.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>From Spyderco&#8217;s product description &#8220;Designed by automotive engineer and knife enthusiast Paul Alexander, the Sliverax is the first factory-made folding knife to combine Spyderco\u2019s Compression Lock&#x2122; mechanism with a flipper-style opener. Its sleek drop-point blade is crafted from CPM\u00ae S30V\u00ae stainless steel and proudly includes both a fully accessible Trademark Round Hole&#x2122; and an index-finger flipper to support a full spectrum of one-handed opening options with either hand. A full-flat grind gives it outstanding edge geometry and its slightly negative blade-to-handle angle enhances its cutting leverage and shortens its opening arc for swift, positive deployment.<\/p>\n<p>The Sliverax\u2019s blade is supported by Spyderco\u2019s patented Compression Lock mechanism\u2014a high-strength lock located in the spine of the handle to greatly reduce the risk of unintentional release during use. Its lightweight, open-backed handle design features stunning carbon fiber\/G-10 laminate scales and nested stainless steel liners. This advanced construction style provides impressive structural strength, keeps the knife slim and pocket friendly, and offers a solid foundation for the knife\u2019s lock mechanism. To allow convenient carry and keep the Sliverax instantly accessible, its handle includes a reversible deep-pocket wire clip that can be configured for right or left-side tip-up carry.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>The Blade and Handle Geometry:<\/h3>\n<p>Most knife specifications have a basic description of the blade geometry, but in this section I will be taking a more detailed look at geometry and balance.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Spyderco-Silverax-34-grind-P1320173.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"591\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5992\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Spyderco-Silverax-34-grind-P1320173.jpg 800w, https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Spyderco-Silverax-34-grind-P1320173-600x443.jpg 600w, https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Spyderco-Silverax-34-grind-P1320173-300x222.jpg 300w, https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Spyderco-Silverax-34-grind-P1320173-768x567.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Using a set of gauges and precision measuring equipment including a Vernier protractor, callipers, fixed radius gauges and the unique Arc Master adjustable radius gauge (the one that looks like a crossbow).<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Knife-measuring-P1180483.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"493\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1468\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Knife-measuring-P1180483.jpg 800w, https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Knife-measuring-P1180483-600x370.jpg 600w, https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Knife-measuring-P1180483-300x185.jpg 300w, https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Knife-measuring-P1180483-768x473.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>These measurements have been tabulated and are presented along with a few reference blades (8&#8243; Chef&#8217;s Knife, 5.5&#8243; Santoku and the popular F\u00e4llkniven F1).<\/p>\n<p>Key aspects such as the primary bevel angle, grind type, blade depth, blade thickness, length, weight are detailed, along with balance information.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Spyderco-Silverax-35-bevel-P1320194.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"650\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5993\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Spyderco-Silverax-35-bevel-P1320194.jpg 800w, https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Spyderco-Silverax-35-bevel-P1320194-600x488.jpg 600w, https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Spyderco-Silverax-35-bevel-P1320194-300x244.jpg 300w, https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Spyderco-Silverax-35-bevel-P1320194-768x624.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The &#8216;Balance relative to the front of the handle&#8217; tells you if the knife will feel front heavy, or if the weight is in your hand (a positive value means the weight is forward of the front of the handle).

This is yet another super sharp factory edge from Spyderco. A figure less than 200 is really good and easily shaves arm hairs and falls through 80gsm paper.<\/p>\n<h3>What it is like to use?<\/h3>\n<p>What struck me on initially handling this knife is how the Sliverax differs from conventional folders with its organic lines and purposeful downward angled blade (positive rake).<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Spyderco-Silverax-31-side-P1310141.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"527\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5989\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Spyderco-Silverax-31-side-P1310141.jpg 800w, https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Spyderco-Silverax-31-side-P1310141-600x395.jpg 600w, https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Spyderco-Silverax-31-side-P1310141-300x198.jpg 300w, https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Spyderco-Silverax-31-side-P1310141-768x506.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>When folded it is almost like a worry stone in its pleasing feel and curvy shape. Opening is lightning fast with the flipper, and this speed is in part due to the blade&#8217;s positive rake, meaning the blade only has to rotate 160 degrees to open, instead of 180 degrees. Of course the pivot&#8217;s captive ball bearings also guide the blade with virtually no resistance at all.<\/p>\n<p>Having a fully exposed opening hole from both sides makes it very comfortable and easy to thumb-open with either hand. The clip can be fitted to either side, so the Sliverax is truly ambidextrous. The only aspect that is slightly handed is a one-handed close. I certainly found it easier to unlock the compression lock one handed using my right hand.<\/p>\n<p>For the opening hole to be fully exposed, and to not have a Spyderco &#8216;hump&#8217;, a lot of the handle has been cut away making the handle at the first and second fingers very thin. As well as accentuating the rake of the blade further, it also makes a full hand grip a little awkward as the fingers don&#8217;t have much to hold. However it does provide a deep finger guard so the chance your hand might slip forward is very low.<\/p>\n<p>I tend to prefer thumb-opening blades for several reasons. In fact, in the UK where I am based, flippers are too close to switchblades for comfort, so a nicely controlled thumb-open goes down much better. This leads me to make an observation about the compression lock which I also noted on the Sharman. As I open the blade, my first finger tends to lie over the lock itself, and the lock bar often gives me a little nip as it snaps into place.

A mechanism where you have to compromise your grip on the knife to be able to press on a flipper tab to literally flick the blade open. Flippers can and do fail to fully open or lock, so much like the fixed blade is your most reliable partner, the two-handed open or the properly thumbed-open blade that is positively taken all the way to the locked position, means you know 100% it is there. If safety and security are your primary aims, then open the blade by manually rotating it all the way.<\/p>\n<p>This leads me nicely into a couple of modifications I have made to the Sliverax I&#8217;ve been testing. Firstly the removal of the flipper tab. This makes the Sliverax a no-question thumb operated OHO, and has the benefit of removing the protruding flipper tab so it is even more pocket friendly.<\/p>\n<p>The second modification is one of those things that for me is the sign of a finished knife blade, a sharpening choil. Others will have different opinions, and I&#8217;m not saying I&#8217;m right, but it is my preference. The end of the cutting edge at the sharpening choil also provide another &#8216;point&#8217; for fine accurate cuts, so is not purely an aesthetic addition, but is functional too. <\/p>\n<p>These images are of the modification I made and posted on Instagram, hence the branding on the images.<\/p>\n<p>Modifications:<br \/>\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\n#foogallery-gallery-5981 .fg-image { width: 150px; }\n#foogallery-gallery-5981 { --fg-gutter: 10px; }<\/style>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"foogallery foogallery-container foogallery-default foogallery-lightbox-foobox fg-center fg-default fg-ready fg-dark fg-border-thin fg-round-medium fg-loading-default fg-loaded-fade-in fg-caption-hover fg-hover-fade fg-hover-zoom\" id=\"foogallery-gallery-5981\" data-foogallery=\"{&quot;item&quot;:{&quot;showCaptionTitle&quot;:true,&quot;showCaptionDescription&quot;:true},&quot;lazy&quot;:true}\" style=\"--fg-title-line-clamp: 0; --fg-description-line-clamp: 0;\" >\n\t<div class=\"fg-item fg-type-image fg-idle\"><figure class=\"fg-item-inner\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/IMG_20180921_215800_167v2.jpg\" data-attachment-id=\"6014\" data-type=\"image\" class=\"fg-thumb\"><span class=\"fg-image-wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"skip-lazy fg-image\" data-src-fg=\"https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/cache\/2018\/10\/IMG_20180921_215800_167v2\/2801889336.jpg\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20width%3D%22150%22%20height%3D%22150%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%20150%20150%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" loading=\"eager\"><\/span><span class=\"fg-image-overlay\"><\/span><\/a><\/figure><div class=\"fg-loader\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fg-item fg-type-image fg-idle\"><figure class=\"fg-item-inner\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/IMG_20180921_215800_168.jpg\" data-caption-title=\"No longer a &#039;flipper&#039;, now just a OHO.\" data-caption-desc=\"No longer a &#039;flipper&#039;, now just a OHO.\" data-attachment-id=\"5985\" data-type=\"image\" class=\"fg-thumb\"><span class=\"fg-image-wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"No longer a &#039;flipper&#039;, now just a OHO.\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"skip-lazy fg-image\" data-src-fg=\"https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/cache\/2018\/10\/IMG_20180921_215800_168\/4198796499.jpg\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20width%3D%22150%22%20height%3D%22150%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%20150%20150%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" loading=\"eager\"><\/span><span class=\"fg-image-overlay\"><\/span><\/a><figcaption class=\"fg-caption\"><div class=\"fg-caption-inner\"><div class=\"fg-caption-desc\">No longer a 'flipper', now just a OHO.<\/div><\/div><\/figcaption><\/figure><div class=\"fg-loader\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fg-item fg-type-image fg-idle\"><figure class=\"fg-item-inner\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/IMG_20180921_215800_161.jpg\" data-caption-title=\"One of my finishing touches.\" data-caption-desc=\"One of my finishing touches.\" data-attachment-id=\"5983\" data-type=\"image\" class=\"fg-thumb\"><span class=\"fg-image-wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"One of my finishing touches.\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"skip-lazy fg-image\" data-src-fg=\"https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/cache\/2018\/10\/IMG_20180921_215800_161\/2650041660.jpg\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20width%3D%22150%22%20height%3D%22150%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%20150%20150%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" loading=\"eager\"><\/span><span class=\"fg-image-overlay\"><\/span><\/a><figcaption class=\"fg-caption\"><div class=\"fg-caption-inner\"><div class=\"fg-caption-desc\">One of my finishing touches.<\/div><\/div><\/figcaption><\/figure><div class=\"fg-loader\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fg-item fg-type-image fg-idle\"><figure class=\"fg-item-inner\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/IMG_20180921_215800_160v2.jpg\" data-attachment-id=\"6013\" data-type=\"image\" class=\"fg-thumb\"><span class=\"fg-image-wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"skip-lazy fg-image\" data-src-fg=\"https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/cache\/2018\/10\/IMG_20180921_215800_160v2\/1917750880.jpg\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20width%3D%22150%22%20height%3D%22150%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%20150%20150%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" loading=\"eager\"><\/span><span class=\"fg-image-overlay\"><\/span><\/a><\/figure><div class=\"fg-loader\"><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<hr color=\"#333333\"><\/hr>\n<p>In the modified state (allowing me to carry it more), this knife has proven itself over and over and has become a firm favourite.
