well i have had one a while, and its ok - i really think ya need the training to do anything w/it, and in my neck of the woods ya dont pull a knife on someone to use it as a yawara stick and not expose yourself to the possibility of being shot - but here are my likes/dislikes
the knife has a great locking system, very smooth to snap it open or to use the jole as intended
has a good sized grip that feels good in your hand
the blade length USED to make it legal to fly with
the thing WILL open in your pocket, and the positioning of the pocket clip just doesnt work, not for me anyway - if ya get one add in the expense of a skunkworks sheath to carry it
all in all its ok, i dont hardly ever carry mine, i like a longer blade, and just have several others that are more practical to carry - i mean if i am gonna strap on a sheath, might as well strap on my polkawski custom companion fixed blade
i have posted about it opening in my pocket, and numerous people have said they dont have that prob, well MINE WILL OPEN, its the worst knife about that i have had except a spydie joht singh khalsa - i mean it when i say, it will open too darned easy for me
they are ok, but not the best by any stretch, imho
this is just my opinion, formed after carrying it off/on for about 4 months - and no i have no training w/it, a knife to me is strictly a back up to my glock, which i have had training with - and for that reason i prefer a 4" minimum blade, if for nothing else, it makes me feel better about it lol
but they are a good knife, if ya want one, get it, BUT get a skunkworks sheath.........
