Hey, everyone. I noticed that One-Stop Knife shop has these guys on sale right now. I was wondering if anyone out there has one, and if so what do you think of it? I have the CRKT KFF (the 3"-bladed version) and I love the feel of the handle and the blade shape, I'm just not comfortable with the fact that the liner barely engages the back of the blade. I know that it has the LAWKS safety feature, but I want a knife that I know will be safe if I have to use it quickly in a self-defense situation. I just don't know if I could remember to thumb that little lever if I was running on pure addreneline. So, I was curious how the carnivore cub holds up. I will admit to having never held or played with any REKATs at all (no one around here sells them) so I know nothing at all about the rolling lock. So, please guys, if anyone out there has any info about this knife, I would love to hear about it! Besides my Blade forums knife bag one slot left for a new knife!

I don't have a Carnivore Cub yet(waiting for the brown truck), I did order one from the Mike and Spark show during their Labor day sale.

The only REKATS I have are the Bladeforums Carnivore and a Pioneer II. I am really sold on the Rollin Lock, for me it is soooo easy to operate. I love the feel of the big Carnie but it seems a tad large for my needs. When I'm on my motorcycle it tends to poke me after several hours in the saddle;
the Pioneer doesn't. Now Spark swears that the Carnie Cub feels just as good in the hand as the big Carnie, knowing that he is a Carnivore fan, I tend to believe him.

The Rolling Lock is extremely strong and fairly reliable, I don't plan on buying another linerlock knife again! There are better locks out there.

Flinx, I think you will be happy with the Cub, I think I will be.
 
Flinx,

I've been using the Carnie Cub for about a week and a half and like it a lot. Balance and feel are excellent and it fits my hand well. A good stout user!

Thanks,
