Does Anyone Own This Thing!? I Mean Really!?

I don't know...7.2 lbs is .2 lbs too heavy for me; maybe if they had a DLC version
I might reconsider- make it more stealthy.

I'm sort of surprised that one of the "tactical" SHTF guys that EDC 40+ pounds of gear don't have these in their pockets because they "can't notice the difference in weight between it and a BM 530."

Nope I notice a difference I just carry it in my left cargo pocket in case of emergency or stereotypical zombie apocalypse as it's the politically correct version of saying fall of government (most likely temporary due to natural disaster till resources are available again). So I can be sure I can fix anything along the way, as it is quite a bit lighter than my toolbox that was in my BOB. Though to compensate the weight difference that is now on my left side I have taken to carrying 2 of my Crusader Forge FIFP in the opposite pocket now along with my FAK and Swisstool RS in my back right pocket so the weight is more evenly distributed. As for the 2 larger folders you know what they say you have 1 you have none you have 2 you have 1.

I understand the Opinel 13 is similar inasmuch as it's intended to be a display piece.

That said, I think you could actually use an Opinel 13.

That must be The Terminator's SAK

That is awesome. If God had a pocket knife it would be an Opinel 13.

I have the next narrower SAK I know of, the Victorinox SwissChamp XAVT. Still too wide to be a practical knife IMO but it certainly looks impressive! I got it when Amazon had a sale on it several years ago. I also have the leather sheath for it. Definitely NOT a pocket knife.

I think Emerson has an original one. There was a episode of auction wars or one of those shows where Ton found one in a storage unit. Sold it to Mr. Emerson for quite abit of money.

I mean it looks cool and all but i cant imagine carrying that thing around...

Jeff Bezos has one on his conference table. I've been there, and held it. It's pretty ridiculous, but the guy is a crazy billionaire genius, so...

 

[K.O.D.]

I have three. One for my backpack, one for my pocket, and one for inspiration when old faithful is not so faithful.
