Before this week, I never understood people's fixation on these forums with little knives.
I've been carrying "Tactical Folders" for a little over 10 years now and I've never carried anything with under about a 3.25" blade; I prefer around a 4" blade. I didn't see the point of little 2 or 2.5" blade at all. I like the larger, harder-working, knives that you can really get a handle on that even have some decent defensive capabilities - and I got good and used to them too.
Recently, somehow, I got turned on by the Spydie Salsa and started looking for a deal on one on Ebay. I didn't find one, but I became intrigued by the MeerKat and purchased one. When it arrived I was immediately hooked on this cool little thing!
It's handy! It does good work and people hardly notice I have it in my hand when I'm using it. I sliced a Croissant with it at a seminar luncheon today and nobody even noticed I even had it in my hand. (Not that I'd care.) I like the wide blade and handle that lets you choke up. Having the blade tip that close to your hand definately has it's advantages, not to mention the power you can put behind a little wide blade like that. Surprise! Little, wide blades like this give you good control and you can really zip through some material with one and even safely work with your hands close together or near someone else if you're preparing something in the kitchen. NOW, I can think of a million things that a little knife like this is actually BETTER at!
Wow! A new knife concept for me! Little, wide knives!
Who would've thunk it?
Of coarse, being the multi-carry sort of guy that I am, I'll probably carry it in ADDITION to an Axis AFCK or CQC-7 or something big and sturdy like that.
Oh, wait, one more thing...
It works REAL NICE for me carrying it in my shirt pocket because all you see is the wire clip and the knife is completely concealed in the pocket. Especially if I'm sitting at a desk because it's easier than pushing my chair out and reaching down to my pocket.
I still don't have a Salsa, but I gotta have one in a pretty blue or green. After that maybe a Lil Temperance and who knows what other ideas I might get from replys to this thread.
This is just me, once again, as I often do, thinking out loud and sharing my thoughts.
Jump in any time!
