I've got to get to class real soon, so this review will be quick.
THE STATS
Blade: Overall length: 3.25 (8.3 cm)
Cutting edge: 3.00 (7.6 cm)
Thickness: 0.12 (0.30 cm)
Steel: AUS 6M, 55-57 HRC
Handle: Closed length: 4.13 (10.5 cm)
Weight: 3.4 oz. (98 g)
THE PLUSES
I got the large version and I think it is the perfect size for a gentleman's knife. I wasn't too sure about this knife in the beginning because I like my knives to have some sort of guard, but this thing has grown on me fast. For $70 retail this knife is excellent. It doesn't ride too high or too low in the pocket, and the blade profile makes for the perfect "envelop opener". Part of the handle is Zytel, which can sometimes look cheap, but it doesn't on this knife. The lock-up is strong, but no LAWKS on this one. It also makes for a good emergency window-breaker when folded up because the pommel is very pointed.
THE MINUSES
Besides no guard? Nothing, I honestly have no complaints. If you are in the market for a bargain gentleman's knife, this is it!!
I know, I know, how did I manage to get TWO knives that aren't in production. It's the hook-up baby! Mike Payne! Don't playa hate, congratulate!
