I really like the Haddock and it looks like a really stout knife with those super thick liners and the 5mm thick blade. I wonder if the US version will have a thumbstud, or even a spydie hole to open? Btw, those titanium liners are 3mm aka .120" thick and the blade is 5mm aka .200" thick! Looks like the weight is only 103 grams, or 3.63 ounces, and the oal is 7.70". A true lightweight and compact BULLDOG of a knife. Another one on the list. Also has N690BO blade steel. My Titan Defender has this steel and it is very good. I took an old leather belt yestrerday, 1.75" wide, .187" thick, and sliced it into 30 seperate pieces and the N690BO cut as well on the 30th cut as it did on the first, would still slice paper afterwards.
