Never been one for the 'pocket fixed blade' concept. Until I got the AK1, that is... 
Got this drop point last year. RWL-34 & CF. Very nimble in hand, lightweight & inobtrusive in the pocket. Nice leather sheath with integrated ulti-clip.
Been carrying it some (alternating with the Dacian and ARK) and it came ahead in terms of general useability. Easy to carry, easy to use, easy to touch up every now and then. BTE thickness 0.4 mm (0.016")
Liked it so much that I needed to get a second. N690 blade steel, kydex sheath, Richlite scales, still Solingen-made.
Then kinda figured I'd like some high-vis G10 orange scales on this one.
So now I have a pair of nice Richlite scales sitting pretty in a box, I guess you see where this is heading
.
Anyway, if you happen to consider the AK1 I'd say give it a go, in my experience (and for my uses) it's not a bad option for an EDC.
