I got the fever with a 20.5, can’t wait until this bad boy comes in so i can send co-workers diving under their desks.
Sorry about the link. You can find Ad-15’s for $99.99 now so i just couldn't pass it up.

20.5 is a 3" blade, my dude! Not an intimidating knife :) It's like CS's PM2, very easy to open, WANTS to open, love it, dyed it shades.

AD-15 is kinda addictive to play/fidget with the unique Scorpion lock . :cool::thumbsup:

Had to stop for awhile to rest and heal my poor old fingers ! ;)
 
Early on first day of Ad-15 ownership.
I don’t know which is more challenging.
Turkish getups with a kettlebell or Cold Steel.
 
I can never leave well enough alone, but thankfully this time it didn't come back to bite me.
The action is good, once i loosened the pivot screw by literally 1/2° it flicked open just fine using the thumb stud. I can also spidey flick it with ease. But, i cut a coil off the spring to make it even easier. It wasn’t until after i put everything together that i realized i could also adjust the pivot screw for the base of the lock that also makes it easer to open. I feel pretty confident that adjusting that pivot is just as good as cutting a coil, and doesn’t require disassembly. Not that it was hard, my main concern is i cut the coil this morning before work and the piece flew off into the kitchen somewhere. I just hope my foraging 1 year old doesn’t find it. 🙁

I’m not concerned about weight, more about balance. Have any of y’all taken material off the liner to shave some weight? I’m thinking about drilling or using a dremel to remove some weight. As if i have a ton of extra time to work on non-sense stuff.
