I think all the MBC models are aimed at a specific user base, for a very specific task. Just as almost any utility knife could be used for defense, they are not optimized for the task, and I feel the opposite must be true for fixed-fighters and MBC folders as well. I'm sure that if you train in MBC or have trained in some fundamentals, this model could be adapted into your system. If you're just looking for a solid utility piece, there's tons of other Spyderco models that do that great. IMO
