Is this real? In Canada? That sounds ridiculous.
The canadian laws about knives is that every gravity, automatic and weapon designed knives ( push dagger etc) is illegal. There is no federal restriction on blade lenght, and there is no provincial laws on carrying a knife but there is a lot of municipal laws and unwritten laws so its pretty much up to the officer to judge
Functionally, they are equally as good. Asthetically, the 0454 is better.
They both have the best ergonomics I've ever felt, and the blade length to handle length ratio is spot on. The 0452 has a deep detent, requiring more pressure from your finger tip than the 0454. They are both about equally as smooth when opening/closing, however, the 0454 has less resistance since the lockbar pressure isn't as strong. I much prefer the 0454's flipping action over the 0452.
Obviously, the 0454 is nicer looking since the carbon fiber has a finer twill weave, a contoured shape, and a 3D machined clip, backspacer, and sub-framelock. Can't forget the composite blade too. But in hand, the 0452 is every bit as good as the 0454. It's a lot slimmer, and has a slightly more "organic" feel to it, but it will cut and ride just like the 0454 does.
Thanks much BB, appreciate the review. I can't believe your selling your 0454. I'd have thought that would be a keeper.
