Cold Steel American Lawman

Does anybody have one of the newer ones, with the tri-ad lock and the all g-10 handle? If so, what do you think of the f&f, deployment, smoothness or lack thereof? Thanks guys

I got one with the linerless G-10 handle about 3 weeks ago. I have no complaints about any aspect of the knife. It's become my goto EDC; reasonable weight, good ergos...

I have 3 of those knives. I was unable to find the earlier version with the liners, but I'm still looking. As for the new ones, the ergos are very good. the knife is as solid as Mr. Demko demonstrates in the knifetest videos. The weight is not bad, not a brick by an7y means.
Personally, I would love a model with some higher end materials (CPM-M4 and Carbon Fiber). Yes it would cost more, but that overall design makes it worthwhile.

I have four until recently. Down to two left after selling one and trading another for some other knives. I love the model. I ordered a custom of the same knife from Andrew Demko that I look forward to owning.

The knife is solid. I like the Triad and the Lawman as well as the Mini AK-47 the best so far of the models I've owned. The Rajah I is quite awesome but hardly practical. Overall the Triad lock really impresses me though.
