It remains an oddity to me that
nobody talks about modern Utica Cutlery. None of the big retailers carry them. It's weird. Zero reviews that I could find for this Critical Hit II of theirs that apparently has been out for a year. Curiosity got the best of me.
They must've dipped this blade in paint, it's so thick. The edge is rough, like unintentional microserrations rough. Might be the best price per inch of domestic magnacut. There was no mention of the pocket clip for the sheath, so that was a nice bonus. My hope is that it will check all the boxes of, say, an Izula of the same dimensions.
