Anybody have any experince with these?
Good for the price?

How bout the blade size?

2 inches seems a little small? You think it packs enough punch?
 
I won't bag on Mantis, but I'd advise you read about the company reviews seen here on the forum. It's an unsafe design to me, liner lock Karambit with no choil, when it breaks your fingers are gone.

A fixed blade option may be the Kabar TDI. Easy to carry, solid company, great steel, solid piece of metal. Sheath is solid as well.

Plus one on the TDI.

Can you point me towards the reviews.

I did a search, and maybe I'm just not searching for the right wording or something but its not coming up with anything other a bunch of random stuff.

Also as far as the TDI. yes awsome knife

I think he might just mean Mantis in general. I'd rather have a Gerber than a Mantis. I gave them a chance, and after my experience with their knives, I will never buy another Mantis.

Mantis is owned by Famous Trails.
