I know about a million non-knife people who could use these. This years Xmas shopping is going to be easy.;)

I wonder if the "Edgie" could actually work. Seems too good to be true. Besides, what else would I do while watching TV?

I like the pliers knife, it would go nicely in my tool belt. Just a shame that they made it out of 420j2 though. What were they thinking?

They were thinkin hard.
That's a great steel for their plan...
 
Saw that a while ago, and I like it too. I'd buy one, based on the design not the materials.
They were thinking "Joe Sixpack will see that it's made of 493J5hH58 steel, and think it's great because it's identified with some numbers & letters. He'll buy it." I'd like one if it weren't made out of softened butter...

I saw the Edgie just recently, and thought "No way," because the website specifically says that sharpening it manually will do damage. No thanks.
 
I don't think any of the knives above is a worth considering. Both have less than satisfactory steel. And with regards to the P.K., why carry something like that if you are able to carry a fixed blade in you area anyways. I know it is used for concealed in the open carry, but it will not outperform a real fixed blade. The only selling point of these 2 knives is the price. Just my opinion.
