BURN 9" swing guard

[Charlie Mike]

I just received this knife on Saturday and have been carrying it since. It is the budget version @ $900 of http://www.burnknives1.com/skullseries11.html

My first impressions was the amazing attention to detail and fit n finish. I told him this knife would be an in home EDC, so I skipped the mirror polish and went with satin all around. The scales are finely finished black G10. Blade is hollow ground 3/16" 154CM. As you'll see in the pics, it is a very thick folder. I had a pocket clip mounted for belt carry. The blade shaves arm hair and I have been using it for mundane tasks. Cuts very nicely for its thickness. The button is flush mounted within chamfered G10. It takes a deliberate act to fire this thing. There is no horizontal play at all. There is no play vertically either. To unlock it, you must first have some decent hand strength. Very stiff lock spring, but I'd rather err on the side of caution with locks. My brother, wife, in laws, and several others have played with it and everyone agrees it is perfect. It also makes a perfect pairing to my Rolex Sea Dweller.

He's my first cat I got while I was living on my own. The most affectionate cat ever. He has good taste in knives too.

The knife is cool. I like the robust nature of it and I am a fan of swing gaurds. Gonna be a tuff one to wave.

The more you post of it, the more the looks of that knife are growing on me. The same with those DDR's of yours. I like knives with straight handles and that stiletto looks very comfortable to hold. It looks so modern without resorting to huge cosmetic design changes to emphasize that. What an awesome hobby, huh?
