I have one which I carry clipped upside down to my inside coat pocket. It's great to know that you have quick access to a knife if you are seated in a car, with your seatbelt on. The seatbelt clip would make it nearly impossible to draw your normal folder otherwise.
The knife is very good, especially for the money. The steel does not really matter if you intend to use it for self defense, since it will a) be likely seized as evidence, or
b) be buried somewhere by you
...so the knife is only expected to be used once. There is also a MDP Stiff Kiss, which has a drop point blade, that is ground on both sides.
You have to cord-wrap the knife yourself. The knife with sheath is so light that you hardly notice it's there. I recommend it. If you find that the removal of the knife from the sheath is hard, use a rubber band instead!

Tobym, The Stiff Kiss MDP is a great little lightweight utility type knife that sells for a very good price. Allthough the blade is a bit thicker, the Stiff Kiss reminds me of a steak knife, sans the typical wooden or plastic handle (this is fine with me since a steak knife can be pretty useful). Steel is AUS6M, a decent NON-premium stainless steel. If you prefer you can wrap the handle with the supplied paracord for a better grip.
The Zytel sheath is evan more versatile than the knife, allowing numerous carry options that really work (I like boot or belt carry with the steel clip, neck carry with a ball chain, or just slipping the sheathed knife into a pocket with or without the clip attached).
The sheath holds the blade securely, with out being too tight.
