Anyone own one? Anyone EDC one? I picked one up for $17... Figured I couldn't go wrong at that price.
I know the wharncliff blade isn't the greatest for edc, but I do like the carry options that come with it stock.

I haven't received mine in the mail yet, was just hoping to get some opinions before I get my hands on it.
 
It'd be a bit heavy for EDC, and also a bit large. Good snag at that price though! Let us know how you like it when it gets here! :)
 
I have one that sees some kitchen and camping use. The 4.5 inches of super pointy wharncliffe blade is great, and it has a higher grade of steel than CRKT normally uses. Downsides are a very slightly too small handle (YMMV), jimping that's painful to put any finger pressure against, and a poor clip on the sheath. For the $30ish I paid, though, it's a good knife. You got a great deal.
 
I have one as well. I bought it on a special for $29.95 - so you have a super price. I have no problems with mine. I don't carry it (sheath is horrible) but I keep it next to my .357 snubbie in the end table by my armchair - for zombie attacks! :)
 
I just also picked one up also because of the price.Even though I did previously purchased this knife and found it's handle small,unergonomic,and the sheath bulky.I said what the hell,it can't lose;it could be a great gift.

Take the clip off the sheath and use a shoulder rig made of para cord and its fine, not legal in most places, but fine. I love mine.

There's no clip on the back of the sheath. Do you have any pics of your rig? How about showing us what you mean, I can't picture it. :)
 
The clip is held on by 4 screws. The slip knot is for adjustment.

Very cool Rafthos! :thumbup:

Mine didn't come with a clip and the sheath was so loose that the knife would fall out in the upside down position. Not to be deterred, I heated it up and smashed it tight at the top (with gloves on) until it cooled.

It's uglier than before but at least that sucker won't fall out now. :D

I have one that I like very much. I think even at list price its a nice buy, so IMO you got a real steal. I posted my thoughts on the knife in Review - CRKT C/K Dragon.

I've never actually EDC'd mine, simply becuase its not legal to carry concealed fixed blades where I live. If I was to do so, I would probably get a custom kydex belt sheath made. The stock sheath is okay for open carry, but if you want to carry it conceled, I'd probably go with a custom IWB kydex sheath. ;)
 
Well my Dragon showed up yesterday. I pretty much agree with everything mdauben says in his review.
I was really impressed with it right out of the box, one of the better factory edges I have seen. I actually like the smaller handle, it offers a very secure grip combined with the texture on the G10.

It does seem a bit on the large size for EDC, but I'll have to try that out once I get a new sheath. All in all, I'm pretty impressed with this knife. My only regret is not buying 2 or 3 while they were on sale... But after handling it, I wouldn't mind paying full price.
