I finally got my T-MAG. I've been waiting (and waiting) to get one of these bad boys since I first heard about them. And I have to say, I am MORE than impressed with it. Great blade shape, great handle, easy to open using either the thumb hole or wrist-flick action. But the cherry on the cake has to be the rare earth magnet. Now I've read in previous posts how many people don't like the magnet-lock due to the non-locking aspect of the lock, but I find that for everyday light-to-general use it's perfect. I wouldn't try hack through the amazon forests or single handedly take down a panzer tank with it, but when the odd cardboard box of danger comes along, it's no match for my T-MAG.
But the best bit of having a rare earth magnet embedded in your knife, is the fact that you can stick it to practically any metallic surface found around the house/office/car/anywhere. A couple of examples: While I'm busy in the kitchen, my T-MAG is stuck to the fridgedoor or sometimes even the cooker hood. In the bathroom it's stuck to the radiator, in the bedroom it's stuck to my bed (metal 4 poster bed) etc. Heck, I've even been known to stick it to the locking plates of the internal doors, and sometimes I even find myself sticking it to the pressed ceilings (I reckon the ceilings must be made from pressed sheets of metal with a layer of plaster and paint to finish.) But to top it off, I found some old dog-tags that my T-MAG just loves sticking to. So now I've found a great way to carry my edc knife around my neck. And recently I was thinking about making a leather wrist strap with an embedded metal plate so that I could carry my knife on my wrist. Oh the possibilities.
But all this leads me to wonder if it would be possible for Sal and the team to add a rare earth magnet to the other knife lines. Not as the locking mechanism, but more as an addition to the already brilliantly designed knives out there in the wild. Now that would be great!
