You know, sometimes I'm just so late to the fray! I recently received this MPK 10" in A2 steel in a trade. I have to admit, I'M IMPRESSED! My ol' friend Bob Allman, (Bald1), recommended this one to me three years ago but I wasn't interested. Now that I have one, I have to say this really is a nice piece.
I have stubby hands and the handle, even though on the large size, fits my hand nicely. Mission really did a good job on the handle and it seems as strong as one could ask for. The knife has a handy camp/utility, partially serrated blade that can even be used as a chopper in a pinch because it has a nice "weight forward" balance. Another thing I like is that for a right hander, the serrations are on the "correct" side, that is the right side of the blade. You don't see a lot of blades, even those exclusively made for right handers, with the serrations where they SHOULD be. I'm not a fan of serrations but these are nice. The whole package has a great industrial but quality feel to it. It just seems to sit up and beg, "use me"! The sheath is a little bulky for my taste but it works. Also, the black coating on the blade isn't worth much but what coating is?
I like this thing and if anyone is considering a quality, camp/utility, or truck or trunk fixed blade at a great price point, it's worth your time to check one out. I would love to give one of these in titanium a try!
