I meant opinions, of course.
I have an Intrepid 189.
However, I can't really bring myself to like the knife very much.
It looks cool, but it's heavy as a brick. It's difficult to sharpen, since there are 4 different cutting edges with different angles to take care. It's a tanto, the tip is really massive, so it doesn't slice very well, it doesn't penetrate very well.
Yes it's a prybar, and in selfdefense, the best you could problaby do, is throw it at your opponent's head, the mere weight will do the job.
Anyone here, who carried the knife for a while and came to different conclusions? Convince me it is a useful knife.

obviously, opinions don't differ very much about the 189.
