In reference to some comments made earlier on this thread, the clip on the knife is the absolute, bar-none, best clip I've ever held. In terms of comfort and usefullness, it is lightyears beyond anything else out there. Not only is it inobtrusive to the hand when holding the knife, it aids in grip retention and indexing, grip manipulation, and general comfort. It is a testament to the design of this knife that the more I play with this knife the more new features I see in it. Is it perfect? No. There are literally dozens of small changes I would make to have it fit my hand better or match my needs more closely, but the fact is that this knife is a truly amazing, intelligently designed, well-manufactured, useful tool. Indeed, it is a testament to the design of this knife that it has me thinking in a whole new realm about ergonomics and combatives.
