Cool looking knife. I wonder how thick the stock is and what kind of steel is is made from. It looks thin from the pic, but pics can be very misleading. Still, very sleek and utilitarian.
 
Nice looking, kinda would fix my need for a Camillus Talon, or gerber yari. thanks:thumbup:
 
Not a bad looking knife, but I hate the fact that it says "Defense Model" on the blade.

+1 on that. I also hate the ridiculously extended tang. What's that all about? The steel is supposed to be very good on those though. "Friction forged D2"

Nope, different knife. The "Friction Forged" version is the PD-1, these are plain D2 or s30v.

Appear to be the same spec's otherwise though.
 
Are they sabre or hollow grind? Hollow grind will really thin out that lower part of the knife.
 
I really like the looks of them. Machined out areas in the scales for fish hooks, etc., as well. 8-)
