Hey guys, I'm curious if any of you have had much experience with these knives before.....especially maybe the little "Runt" model of the "Duke".

Would appreciate your input or experience with these if you have any.

Hey Mike...

I worked with a Runt awhile back and they seemed like a well made quality little knife..

Was done quite nice actually...

I have the Blue Runt with the black blade. I bought it about two years ago, and it has held up remarkably well. The fit and finish were on par with the best. The coating on the blade is great. It snaps like a whip, and fits about anywhere. I carry mine in the little watch pocket of my jeans. I think the blade is a little thick for its length, but it sure holds an edge with that ATS-34 steel. It is quite a short blade (1 7/8") so is not ideal for slicing anything, (I have sliced quite a few apples, though) but works great for cleaning nails, opening boxes, and other light duty stuff. It's definitely a "cute" knife with the girls, except when it jumps, and all the guys love it too. If you get one, keep a close eye on it. It isn't that hard to lose. I added a tritium firing button, which added a little more gadget-factor to it.

Overall, I love it, and would not give it up easily.

Well, I went ahead a took a chance and ordered about 5 for my table at the show. Suprisingly, they sold pretty good and I have to admit, I am pleased with the work & quality of these little autos, especially the Runts. Those Dukes are great too....they are sol ight

Mike - I've only seen both before, haven't had a chance to use them. The Runt seems like it's a good little jumper. Quick action with no play in the samples I've seen. The Runt looks kind of funny with its blade to handle ratio but I guess that's why they named it such

I like the Duke better. It's an elegant auto, especially with the dressed up version that has the damascus blade and anodized ti handles. The dressy version looks nice in photos, but to really appreciate it you just have to see it for yourself. It's really eye catching. Again, like the Runt its very well made with no blade play in either direction. Hope this helps.

I have to agree Dex..the Runt is snappy and seems to be just a great small task utility blade..nothing more than that and the action is down-right awesome. I am really amazed at how light-weight the Duke models are and I really like the new "Pro-Duke". Very similar to the MT UDT.....a good alternative and maybe a buck or 2 less also.
