Does ANYONE like this knife? (Or what were they thinking?)

As a dagger I think it is a neat concept and I do think its a cool design. However I do think that 365 is a bit high for that particular knife, and for edc I just dont see much use for it. i would like to see a fully open model with a slightly diff blade desgin.

It isn't a knife that strikes MY fancy, therefore I would not be buying one.
 
I don't think it locks all the way open. Look at the bladestop.

Sorry, Bro, how do you define tactical, and what makes that one the most tactical. For whatever definition you give (if it isn't overly specific), I bet I could find 10 that qualify as being more tactical.

Sorry if that was unclear

I was just asking for clarification, people throw that word around a lot.
 
Some of Surefire's knives are priced way too high. This "business experiment" is somewhat ill-advised, they should stick to what they create and sell best.
 
Paul Chen's Citizen knife locks closed, in push dagger configuration, and fully opened.

An elegant little knife for a lady.
 
Nope!

However his companion, is cool... has that Hinderer look....

The angle of the handle seems awkward to me, even for its intended purpose. I'd prefer something closer to the angle of a 1911 handle.

And $365??? Where did that figure come from? Does it mean if you save a dollar a day for a year you can get one of these? Perhaps they charge $366 on leap years?? ;)
 
AM, I have his Quandong folder, where the big pivot is a locking button. Squeeze the pivot to release the lock and rotate the blade. I imagine the Citizen uses the same mechanism.

Uhh, me too. Oh well... I think it's a tipical example of a knife with potential. Aka, it could have been a good knife IF... :o
 
Personally, I dont like the knife and even if I did its still a bit over priced. But it got me thinking could you make a knife that has two locking positions like that and a normal one? Has it been done?
 
No way would I punch something with a *folding* anything. I've had knives that lock up straight scare me too many times for that. Looks like a lawsuit waiting to happen. Finger lopper 2000.

If it weren't made with such good materials, and by such a reputable company, I'd swear it was something from the shop at home channel. "Gin-You-Whine foldin' peeple stabber!"
 
If it were a flashlight that cuts with its light beam OK. INMHO surefire is for
combatlights if you may but Just like Smith and Wesson, UZI, Colt, are for firearms at the same time using their name for items made in TAIWAN makes me sick. Plus Folders {and as I will probably offend many } is not something
I would consider for SERIOUS USE. Opening the mail< UPS ok . I ve
had the best in folders and after this and that never trusted folders when
it comes to gettin down the dirt.

Your comparison doesnt hold any water. The surefire knives arent made by united cutlery, as the ones you mentioned are.

What are these "best in folders" you had?

What do you mean "getting down the dirt"? Was there some potting soil on a high shelf or something? :confused:
 
When I whittle with a folding knife, I usually keep it partially open. /shrug
The knife looks fine to me for most utility work. As for using it as a weapon, the concept is excellent - instead of the limited utility of a traditional punch dagger you punch the knife into an availible part then pull down in a draw cut - seems like something ShivWorks might conceive of. I might be interested in a knife designed like this, with the blade extending from the first knuckle.

The problems are first that it's a folder, second that it has too many gimmicks, and finally the price point. That's not really a viable price point for anyone, even an officer.
