ED/DC Excellence - Everyday Day/Defensive Carry
I am a Dirk Pinkerton designs addict. I own several of his custom and production knives and Dirk understands the balance of unity and useful defensive carry. The Ruffian is my go to Everyday Day Carry that is more than capable in a defensive role. A Warny makes a great utility blade but Dirk elevates the point so it in line with the center line so the point can be made… to go just where you want it! The grip is neutral enough so it home in standard and Pikal grips but has enough definition to know the orientation. Add a four position pocket clip, small enough to fit in a fifth pocket and … well just buy one already!
