The Direkt:

+ Straight "neutral-shaped" handle for versatility
+ Regular edge with traditional clip point
++ Serrations upfront! Damn! Was so sleepy last night I forgot to highlight one critical feature I've been crowing on about for years. As I've posted sometime before, I belong to the school of thought that says serrations on a blade makes more sense to be upfront; near or at the belly. Sure serrations at the rear or choil area gives you greater mechanical control when cutting rope BUT to the detriment of everything else (better to have a fully serrated blade then)! This is especially true when controlled cutting is required.
- A MAJOR one is the lock. I don't wanna go back to liner locks if I can help it (a cut pinky makes me say this :().

Mahalo untamed,

Damn...I gotta get to sleep...Hell early tomorrow. However, I can try to do a side by side for you when I come home...IF I come home.

Oh, FWIW, the DIREKT is a tad bigger.:cool:

God bless and take care!!!
 
Salamat for accommodating Chad!

Aloha untamed!

Aiyaaaaah! Only now I noticed manong!!!;)

Anyway, sorry so late, and sorry for the cr*ppy pics, but here is a size comp of the Direkt ME (Midway Edge) and my M-Type CE:

God bless and mahalo!:cool:
 
thanx for the comparison pix Chad... the Direkt looks as beefy as the MType which is built like a tank :cool:
 
Sheeez! Dude, don't call me manong! We might just be the same age!

Anyways, thanks again for the awesome shots there, especially the "pamilya" at the bottom!

While I'm really liking the Direkt, I'd really wish it were a framelock (I'd get it in a heartbeat that's for sure!) That's about the only thing that's making it the M-Type for me.

Ingat (stay safe) man!

Aloha Knifebro,

Yeah, it is pretty beefy, but the weight difference between the two is...well...different!:p I think you're really gonna like the Sub-Hilt feel of the Direkt.;)

God bless and keep me posted!;)

:p!!! Sorry untamed...alright then "ading"...:D

Hope the pics were of some use. I agree, and actually, the DIREKT (like all my other Boker Plus Collabs) was a Frame Lock ala Reeves...However, I have yet to experience any...um..."discomforting feelings" with my DME (Direkt Midway Edge). The fact that is was a linerlock ala Walker scared me too...

BUT, so far, so good.;)

God bless and keep us posted on your choice of knife!!!:cool:
