I just now ordered a PE Black Talon 2 .I've had a full SE version for some time and have come to respect it greatly as a fighting folder .
But I wanted a PE that I can use harder in training and be able to easily sharpen .
The PE also is more usable IMO for regular utility use . I tend to reserve my CS SE knives for SD / emergency use . PITA to sharpen for me .

I somehow have never bought the Tiger Claw . I'm just not super attracted for some reason I can't define . However , at the right price , I probably will buy one .
I see it more as a utility knife , secondarily as an SD/ fighter .
I feel that the BT2 is the superior fighter but weaker for utility use . YMMV !
But consider that I've not yet had "hands on" the Tiger Claw , so I might change my mind !

Agreed, it is an acquired taste for me, thought the design was kinda funky. But I did some reading on the design and found a new respect for the shape. Got a CS Steel Tiger and then found the Claw after trying out the Steel Tiger. Thought the ring was a gimmick but now I understand its use and I am a believer now.
