Has anyone had the opportunity to handle one of the Grayman Situ folders or have you purchased one? I would be interested in hearing comments about it particularly whether you found it too large for a folder and the quality of the workmanship.

Thanks,

yes, i got number 46 out of the first batch of 50. you need some big pockets to handle this one, nothing is small about it. quality is very good, i didnt really find it lacking. it is a lot of s30v and ti, has the widest blade ive ever seen on a folder. this is not an EDC piece unless you do some really extreme work.
 
As big as it is, it is still quite 'pocket friendly'. It is, however, a beast of a knife and definately the closest thing to a fixed blade (in a folder). I did pry and chop with it. No issues, no plays....
 
Grayman SATU. (It's easier to search for the right spelling. :) )

Nice looking knife, actually. I was surprised they didn't charge more, not that it's exactly cheap. One of the advantages of a big (wide) blade, is it gives you that much more prying strength, like a big pivot.
 
Isn't this the company that claims something about each of their knives being unique, as an excuse for not keeping them within specs?
 
FWIW, I have one from the second batch (non numbered) and love it. It's my back pocket weekend carry knife. I've had a heck of a lot of fun using it, with it's size it does take a lil getting use to. But it handles extremely well for it's sheer size and heftness. I have a lanyard on it for easy retrieval out of my pocket, it does ride deep so this may help ya out. For the cost it is great, I have a couple other customs that cost a few bucks more and dont have the thickness of Ti nor S30V steel. Its what I'd call a 'rough style custom' it just works, doesnt have to look fancy or expensive. Some makers pay a lot more attention to detail, I think Mike makes sure the lock is solid and it closes properly, and he's ready to sell. That's one reason why cost is lower on those, IMO.

Lol, that seems to be the idea they're trying to convey. But I don't hear about other makers who make their knives by hand having trouble building accurately. And the grinds on some of this brand's knives look kind of sloppy, even in their site pictures. Making knives by hand is only advantageous when your hands are more precise than a machine IMO...
