I want to purchase a Direware knife. Which one and why would be greatly appreciated. SOLO, S90, or the Hyper 90? Thank you in advance, Robert
 
Whichever current model has the longest overall length and blade length. The couple I've owned were so short and fat. Kind of like a big, heavy steel ball in your pocket. They are certainly cool and fit a niche market and are well built, but from a user standpoint the blades are shaped funny, carry is uncomfortable and sharpening would be a nightmare.

I don't mean to rain on your parade. Like I said they are cool knives. So.. if you're buying them to flip, get a fancy one, if you're buying them to use, get the longest blade (IMO) to balance out some of that fatness on the handles. The flipping action on the one I had was nice, compared to the one w/o the flipper. W/O the flipper it was kind of difficult to open due to the blade stop not really being in thumb stud position, if you know what I mean.

His carbon fiber is really nice, and so is his tumbled bronze finish on the Ti.
If you are getting on his books, I think it's worth it to give them a try. If you are paying secondary market prices.. tough call. I decided to go with a couple of Striders (insert your favorite brand here - ZT, Emerson, CRK, Hinderer) instead.
Best of luck.
 
Now I'm not typically one to support this sort of thing, but since all Direware knives are fugly, ridiculous and result in the deaths of kittens when purchased I'd just buy a knockoff.
 
I think the thing to do is to buy the one you like the best.
That way, you will be happy.

I am not sure if that makes sense, but I buy all my knives based on my likes, and it's worked fairly well so far....
