MOD Mark 2

[Siggyhk]

Just looking for some opinions on this knife. I almost just bought one, but wanted some input first, Thanks for the advice. -Also, what is a fair price for one of these?

Incredible knife. Solid construction, strong pivot and lock, sharp blade, great grip.

I keep a CQD and a CQD Mark II by the front door, in case I want a particularly tough knife to take out with me.

I have no idea what they go for these days. I traded for mine.

I had one and while I had it I loved it, exactly how Benyamin described it. It ended up too big to edc in my pocket and I stopped carrying it because of the weight and how big it is in the pocket.

 

[Esav Benyamin]

Size is an individual thing. If the Mark II were the least bit shorter, it would be too small for me. I'd rather carry its big brother, but that's a really big, heavy knife.

 

[Siggyhk]

Yeah, the full sized version would be to lage for me to edc. Even the mark2 is sorta on the bulky side handle wise. But not too big I don't think. -Thanks for the replies.

With all other knives I have, MOD Mark II is my constant EDC. In general it is because of it handle, in particular this bumps in guard area which makes it very comfortable for many kind of cutting - just make it much easy to hold and operate. I wish other manufacturers will use same handle design, but so far nobody make similarly comfortable knife.

Thanks, Vassili.

I bought one new on Ebay for $130. It was a gift for my nephew for Army boot camp graduation. I never used it but it appeared to be top quality. It was a good size, very light and seemed very well built. It did open and close hard at first but I cleaned it with WD40 then oiled it with Miltech and spent an evening open and closing it. Worked very smooth after that. If you like tactical knives it should be a winner. My nephew especially likes using the glass breaker for pressure points.

You nephew may not realize it, but he can remove the glass breaker, reverse it, and reinsert, and he will have a blunt end for pressure points instead of the pointed end.

Since the glass breaker is tungsten carbide, the pointed end can also be used as a scriber, for engraving, for example, ID numbers on metal or glass or plastic.
