The Everything Proof Knife - Spyderco Waterway 

“G10 steel” - derp

According to the Larrin's charpy toughness test, the LC200n/Z-finit has much higher toughness than cruwear due to the fine grain structure. So yeah, it might be one of the best steel our there.

I wish spyderco would offer every knife in LC200N

Buck 110 Millennial Edition made me laugh pretty good. 😂

Usually the etched spyderco logo gets a bit of rust on your tests, even on normally rust resistant knives. It's really impressive that it essentially has no corrosion on it.

I think LC200N would be awesome for combat knives (not crowbars). It has fairly good edge retention, fairly good toughness, and awesome corrosion resistance. It will hold it's edge rather than rusting it away, and can be taken into pretty much any environment.

aww, Ada still has no concept of catching mid-air food. that steak thwacked her like napoleon dynamite on his bike.

You are by far my favorite RU-vid knife reviewer. I want to buy you a beer!

I know that haitch 1 is not even close to LC200N in most aspects, but are they both pretty much "rust proof "?

I like this as a simple fixie that cuts. Thin geometry and easy carry. Add in the no rust factor and now it’s diver and food prep assistant. Great knife and spiderco continues to have me wanting. Thx Pete

That knife is ultimately designed by Lance for kayak fishing (very specific for that shore, gutting fish, filleting, etc). When he designed it never was meant for bushcrafting purposes nor survivalist use, that’s why the thinner handle. I have one and it’s the perfect jack of all trades(in my opinion), I use it as a necker , modified it a little bit, cut the handle by the lanyard hole and on the blade I drop pointed it a little bit too , at the end it came up one inch shorter, but for my use, it became the best neck knife that I own overall (and I have more than a hundred neck knives to compare it with) Great review mate 👍👍👍 God bless you!!!!

Ha. The dogs like the meat one! I use mine in the kitchen and would prefer it thinner. Great all rounder.

Lc200n is laughing at you bro

Very curious about the toughness of this steel. If it's not chippy then you have to call it the best stuff going. LC200N in a proper bushcraft pattern next please.

Love this man’s videos Always in depth and practical with just about every question answered and more, + entertaining extras always. keep cutting the edge! Thanks!

Definitely better than h1 in all around test

I love the inquisitive "whatcha gonna do with that meat" look on the doggies.

A floating squishy fluorescent glowing yellow handle with a nano solar pv array, led's and ceramic rod too!

If it had a retention ring,it would be perfect.

😂 things don't rust in the dead sea. No oxygen in the water.

Does the Waterway have a "delicate" tip??? I prefer tips that don't break easily like the saber ground Endura and Delica.

Is the Spidey hole required to keep the trademark?

I own one of these and can't find anything it won't do.. it's like a fine piece of cutlery that can split logs/baton.

I really enjoy your reviews and only recently came across your channel but working away through your mule testing 👍 I really like lc200n and would love a mule in it one day. Very nice around knife, would love to see a forward choil for a water based knife just to add a bit more control and security.

And here I thought I was done for good with fixed blade knives, but Pete has to be like:"Nooooooppppeeee, buy this knife already!" Dammit Pete.

By the elements combined - Water, Salt, Grapefruit, MEAT - I am Captain.. who knows, just end my suffering!

"Occam's Razor" Bravo again. Nice, comprehensive review. I had not heard about this offering from Spyderco. Definitely going to have a close look right away. Thanks be to the creative soul, for this eye-opening content.

Great look at the Waterway... Been considering this one here at Alaska Raft Connection. Also what sharpener were you primarily using for your cut test? Overall results were impressive.

"Spooshe" Best descriptive I've ever heard for excessive amounts of salt.

You had me at meat

maybe you should be testing these 'rustproof' type blades with wet rope :o

I’m using my water way for hunting

Nice edge there bud.

I'll definitely be getting this knife; my only subjective minor issue is I really don't like sheaths where the blade rides so high into the ribs, but I'm thinking I can find some type of workaround once it's in-hand. One thing you didn't test the corrosion factor with however (in reference to your last video) is you should have soaked it in a bowl of the anti-Benchmade crowds' tears...then again it could be so caustic the blade would just vaporize...nevermind.

I had the same reaction that your dogs had when I saw that steak!

Yo Pete where’s that fobos legion review?

They could drop the price three bucks and lose the dumb hole in the blade. Totally lame on a fixed blade.

You live in a desert 😂 why so much love for corrosion resistance?

Would be a great little knife for fishing.

First Spyderco to get my attention. The Sandrin Torino is my EDC because the choil, jimping and length make it PERFECT for all the positions I use skinning hogs and deer as well as the uses it covers in daily life. However I've been looking for a fixed blade of slender(ish) profile as a potential boot or sling or strap knife something that could baton and will definitely suffer the elements. this could be the one. Thanks!

Easily one of the best companion blades out there in terms of overall design. It’s damn near perfect in size and shape. Highlights for me are the deep choil and sleek taco style sheath. The blade carries so comfortably! In a perfect world the spidey hole wouldn’t be there and the handle would be screwed on instead of glued on but those are the only 2 things I can even think of that I would like to see changed.

They always have to put that hole on everything they make. On folders, it makes sense as the hole assists in opening but on a fixed blade? useless. Worse than useless since that hole will only accumulate crap. I get the brand recognition and all that but I DON"T need a dumb useless hole on a fixed blade.

Hey mate, i know it's an old vid but where did you get yours from? Looks like the perfect fishing knife to me.

I like your beard man! no homo....;)... maybe I'm really weird but unless I work in a salt water I like a blade that gets a patina and takes a little caring. Just my personal taste!

Loving Spyderco’s LC200N options.

Went to the closest knife shop today, for the first time in a while, specifically thinking I'd buy the Waterway if I could check it out in person...They sold out, plenty of Paysan's and Drunken's though.

Well alright then. I knew I shouldn't need worry about my Spydiechef before but now I really won't give a damn if I wash and dry it or not lol. Seems like the washers might be the first thing to actually go on it

As a meteorite doctor-in-training I can inform you that this knife will not survive a meteorite strike. It is however sweet.

Ordered knife it's on its way tomorrow I will have it in my hands I definitely agree that the handle material would be super sweet if you can get it in Cork I know that the fishing brand Fenwick makes an awesome cork rubber composite that looks very nice and is super grippy

I think I'll put this on my bucket list and take the Caribbean off.

Fishing, cooking--you're right an all around knife!

I like it...and great review. If you are going to use it in the kitch, why not just grind down that blade guard a bit, might make it more user friendly on the cutting board.

I think it could have went another 25 cuts. It made a rough slice through paper and then you went for a second one and paper got all bunched up and knife edge got caught. Still a nice result on what is a jack of all trades knife. Plenty of length, nice and light, great steel and a decent handle for a lot of tasks. Never been a fan of clips on sheaths, give me a dangler any day.

Excellent and thorough review Pete, thanks! You covered everything. Looking forward to see what Advanced Knife Bro will do with it too.

It’s like this was designed by you. When I first saw it last week I immediately was like “Pete’s gonna love this one”!!!!

Thanks mate for a great review Cedric. I just bought one for my dad as a xmas present to use as a fishing knife based on your review👍.

Can you do an edge retention test on that brand new g10 steel?😂 I’ve never heard such a magical steel before.

It's not sharpening-proof without a choil

Volcano Doctors are people too, when will Spyderco finally listen to the needs of its customers! lol

I've been waiting for this review since I saw the Instagram post. Finally cracked and ordered the knife a week ago regardless, since it was on stock and it never lasted long before. Even more glad I did now.

This is a really great knife. Thank you for the review. Good job as always.

Wondering, do you sharpen your rust resistant steels on a separate stone? To prevent contamination from other steels. Love the review btw.

Interesting, a tapered tang would look fantastic on that knife

Damn. Rust proof personified. Love you videos.

Will the spine throw sparks from a firesteel?

The pooches seemed interested in the meat test🤔

poor doggies will starve to death 😢

Hey Pete! Great knife! Lance is a cool dude.

I could definitely see myself using this on my farm. Opening bags, cutting ropes and other bits and pieces. I do hunt and fish, no I don't skin my own animal, but I do clean my own fish. I do think the rust proofness and tough-ish design seems great. Great review, thanks you koala

Cool, rusting and batoning on one knife!

Great review mate! Your tempting me!!!

I can't accept the hole in a fix...

Your dogs and cats are awesome!)

The husky and the steak 😂😂

That sure is a purdy knife

I love everything about this knife except that useless spydie hole as a stress riser.

Haw are the the handles attached ? Don't see any attachment hardware......

volcano doctor 😂

G-10 steel rocks

Ill buy it off you

Just ordered

bury it in the dirt ,that will give it a few pimples

Don’t like how there’s just a giant Ricasso thing on it

First!

Awesome river/beach knife, where too much fun = neglect = rust for my other knives. I don't need for one, but would like one anyway. The SpydieChef shall suffice.

A good way to teach a dog not to take from the table lol

Looks like a steak knife

Killer review

those sheaths SUCK! a sheath to me is like tires on a vehicle. VEHICLE CAN BE GREAT, but if the tires are bald, lumpy, Well you get the point. ALL THOSE spyderco sheaths have the knife handle soooooo far up and sticking out way too high. YOU SAID ''dangler'' yourself. YOU must have sent one to that irritating shibazz character, he really wouldn't know what to do with it except cut his salads! I had to actually watch Lance's video to see it used for intended purpose, in my opinion. (angling saltwater) I've tried spyderco's with those sheaths and hated them! SOLD THEM. It's the whole package, and only half works, the tires suck! WEARING IT, that the problem.....Spyderco get rid of those sheaths ❗

To Austrailian Buloke wood?? I think not😃of course, Spyderco doesn't make choppers...anymore😃😩
