What do you guy think of this knife? Has any one tested this knife? Is it worth buying as an EDC?
 
It's a big solid knife. Locks up very well and has a rather short for it's width blade. There was some pictures posted on here once of one being abused rather heavily and withstanding it. It's not bad IMO for the money, only thing really negative I see it's very bulky and carries poorly. I've read of people complaining about the lock being sticky, but the one I own works flawlessly and is easy to unlock with one finger even. Comes very sharp, too.
 
I held two at a gun show lately, and I thought the lock was sticky as well. The ball detent on both models rolled really rough. The knife seemed solid, but both knives having a sticky lock really turned me off!

I own a Cold Steel AK-47 and I must say that I enjoy it a whole lot. It is a bit bulky but I especially like the striking pommel feature on the end. I've also found the AUS 8-A steel to be pretty easy to sharpen and it holds a decent edge.
 
I really like the blade shape, short, thick, and stout! I also like a clip point blade and the AK-47 really has a distinct clip. Never held one but think I would prefer the G-10 model over the first version. I would probably like to get one at some point, but right now I have a full burner to take care of first.
