The MGAD22S looks good, real good. Drops the weight down to 3.8 ozs... thumbs up Will be nice to see some different blade shapes.
The size of that slot hole is a bit surprising to me. To put all that effort into a robust lock, and quite a chunk of a tang, and than mill out that much of the blade.
I'm sure the Demko guys have torture-tested the knife but it makes me think if you had this thing stabbed into something and twisted with body weight it might just snap on the slot (instead of the pivot like a common knife.
Looks frickin cool as hell though
