Opinions on Topo Meridian, Bi-Polar and Twitch XL

[dutch_0311]

Has anyone owned or handled a Topo Meridian? If so can you let me know what you think of it? Also does anyone know if the blue colored plate under the G10 portion of the handle is removable?

Also does anyone have any feedback on the Bi-Polar or the Twitch XL?

The Topo Meridian is a fun knife with great AO action.

But it's not a knife I'd take seriously for practical use because it's a heavy and thick carry for its length, and you can get much better steel for the money than AUS8.

(I haven't handled a Bi-Polar or Twitch XL, so I won't comment on those.)

Twitch XL is a pretty good knife.
It cuts very well and I get it as sharp as I want with ease and it keeps it quite a while too.
Carrying is a breeze, it is real thin (9 mm) and smooth.
Firing the action is fun, but also after some time it does remain a handy feature.
It doesn't look like the strongest backlock ever made but I think it will hold just fine as long as you don't take it for a prybar.
In short, I do like mine.
