What is the blade steel used in these models? I am rather impressed with them. The Ecco series are well executed double liner locks for the money.

Hi there.
IMO the ECCO is harder to open one handed than, say the Odyssey.I use it as a slow one hand opener and great feel for one hand closing.In my jeans, I see the lump more than feel it there.The biggest I pocket carry (personal preference) is the small HTA Lightning.The only noticed difference between the contract version and USA is the liner is slightly tighter.
take care guy
