Buy This Knife
I got this as a birthday gift from my wife (after I conveniently left Knife Centers webpage up on her I-pad :) ). Do not know where she purchased. I own several Spyderco's, CRKT's, SOG's, a Svord, and Cold Steel knives. Each has their uses. This one is tops, and not just as it's the newest for me. I've been searching for an EDC that was super slim in profile for clip on/in the waistband carry. I dress business casual at work and pocket carry either picks up lint/dust or has a clip sticking out of my pocket. This thing DISAPPEARS when carried as described, with a small lanyard peeking over my belt. I changed the clip to tip down carry to put the lanyard over my pants top. (4 way pocket clip options are nice) VERY accessible in that position. And no one notices it. Perfect for my needs, unobtrusive, yet readily available. Was unsure initially of the fully serrated edge but after using for the last several weeks I am super impressed. Blows my other edges away frankly. Eats cardboard, heavy cardboard too, like butter. Ditto rope, paper, plastic, rubber hosing, and wood, and retains edge like I haven't seen in a looong while. I've worked this knife hard and it's as sharp as the day it came out of the box. Smooth sides were a concern but with the gimping along the blade back, that is not a concern any longer. Very solid in the hand. And the blade is very intimidating in appearance so be careful if using around "sheeple" if you get my drift. Yes, it's "old school" in it's construction, but that's a plus as far as I'm concerned. Great woman got me a great knife. This one will be an EDC for me for a pretty long time I'm thinking. AAAAA+++++
