I concur with you sleeve about that Spartan being a sweet looking blade. My problem is that when I use my knives with coated blades I hate how they look once they're well loved and scratched to shit. I don't have any safe queens either, some just get used harder than others. The nice thing about the CR knives is that you can send them in for refinishing for a nominal fee.
I will always recommend the Spyderco Delica as a cheap entry level/edc knife. I have 3 and even though I have a lot of "nicer" quality and higher end blades, I still pocket the Delica frequently. Perfect size edc blade for most cutting chores and VG10 is so easy to sharpen even the inexperienced could put a useable edge on it.
I also had the same problem happen to my Leek that Farbin experienced. The little plastic lock is just a thin pos that snaps off with relative ease. That said, I've never had a problem with the knife opening in my pocket even with the broken lock.
