Sorry if this has been covered already, but a search shows nothing. I am considering a Lone Wolf T2 and came across the Skirmish! Can anyone give me some feedback on this knife? ANY help would be much appreciated. I plan to carry it IWB as a daily carry. How does it compare to the Lone Wolf T2?
 
You might have more luck in the General forum, as opposed to the Traditional folders section. There have been dozens of threads on this particular knife, in fact here's one link dealing with your particular topic:

Good luck on your search!
 
I would think for IWB carry that the Skirmish would be a thinner carry than the Lonewolf.
 
Having had both the T2 and the Skirmish for years now, the T2 is in a drawer, and the Skirmish is in my pocket right now.

If all you ever want is just pure slicing, no other use, no SD or anything like that, the T2 will do you ok. And in wood, its very pretty. But it gets slippery when wet and has no protection against sliding up on the blade.

The Skirmish is a better design for "everything" you might need a knife for. I bought a new one recently, and my concerns mentioned in the linked thread were addressed. Better point. Better grind. I thought at first they actually changed the design of the blade a little, but I think I just got a better ground blade this time.

Skirmish is a good deal larger than the T2, however, if that's important to you. It carries really flat, though, which is something I love about it. But its really a knife you can trust your life to, if it came to that. Or your large steak, if it comes to that. :D
