I really like this knife! It is one serious blade for serious work. All of Newt's knives are for serious users. I really like that. Rambo wannabe's need not apply. I had a chance to meet Newt this weekend. I toured his shop and had a nice chat. I have liked his knives for a while but this was the first time I had a chance to handle the RTAK and some others that are not ready for production yet. I handled an EELS knife. The single- mindedness of purpose and clarity of design of it was kind of scary. It certainly shows that The Wicked Knife Co. is very appropriately named. There are some really interesting things coming out in the not too distant future too.
Newt is a guy who has a profound knowledge of his field but lacks the bombast of a Lynn Thompson. He is easy to do business with, and stands behind his products. In todays weasel world of laywers, it is nice to deal with someone who says what he means and does what he says. If you are a person who GOES there and DOES that, you will like any of his knives and will like doing business with him.
