710, TSEK & AFCK Comparison

[SALTY]

I do not have and never handled a TSEK.

I have the AFCK and the 710. The 710 is one of my all around favorite folders with a very nice bladeshape and comfortable handles. The AFCK, IMO, provides a more secure grip and would be my choice for a tactical/combat application.

I agree with Joe T. The handle of the AFCK provides a nice grip for defensive purposes - deep finger cut out and long banana shaped handle.

The handle is a bit long for my taste, and I prefer a recurve blade - so this is why I gave up the AFCK in M2 I had and kept the 710HS. The recurve and M2 steel have never been a problem for me to sharpen on the Spyderco sharpmaker, and with a strop.

Can't go wrong with either AFCK in D2 or 710HS. When in doubt, get both and sell the one you do not like for a small loss. It will be worth the experience.
