Stellar Knife for the matching set!
I bought this knife as a companion piece to my Sig Sauer P320 M18 pistol. The handle is made from, is the same color as, and is textured exactly the same as the grips on the pistol. The S30V blade, which is wicked sharp, is also coyote brown and is a combo drop-point and serrated edge for maximum versatility. The handle of the knife fits my rather large fist just right but there is an additional choil at the junction of blade and handle to give an even better fit and control ability. On the top edge of the blade, at the junction with the handle, and starting on the handle, continuing about a 1/4" onto the blade is a nice section of jimping, lending even more to the control of this knife. The auto-open function is controlled with the push of a button and be warned because just like the product description mentions, this bad boy has an aggressive, Chuck Norris style kick when the button is pressed...lol! The knife is made secure from inadvertent openings by a sliding lock switch and the blade is foldable by depressing the same button used to open it with. This knife just feels really good in the hand. Not only by how well it fits, but also by the heft of it. It's made fairly light by the materials and strategic design elements implemented to lighten it such as the swedge and thumb hole on the blade, but overall, the knife still has that just right amount of heft to give one the comfort of knowing that it can stand up to just about anything you need it to do. Once they got them in stock the knife shipped really quickly (thanks Knife Center!) and I've had it for about a week now and have used it every day with much satisfaction. Hogue warranties these knives for life and combined with the excellent craftsmanship and materials, I foresee this being the last knife I will ever need to buy. I'm a bit addicted to knives though so it probably won't be...lol! I highly recommend this knife and look forward to many years of use to come.
