I use my Savant w/upswept point everyday. Sometimes still carry one of my Sifus and the Carny Cub also gets some use. Extremely rugged and useful knives.

I use to have a Rekat hobit warrior knife but thought the blade and handle was to small:grumpy:
Other then that the knife was cool

I occasionally still carry my two Rolling Locks, a tip down G10 slab over steel liner hollow ground tanto (Pioneer II?) and a tip up G10 skin over aluminum (Savant?) swedged flat ground drop point. The drop point is a great utility piece, the tanto simply has one of THE best hollow grinds I've ever owned. I beat on the droppie and drool on the tanto.
oh the sifus, dont even get me started bashing those lol. while the smaller REKATS semed to do "ok" with the "rolling lock", the sifus sure didnt do well, lotsa lock probs with those, if ya have one and it locks well, be happy and be gentle with it (ie no inertia opening, no hard opening, no gunk in the action, etc) 'cuz if it breaks i dont know of anyone who will fix the thing. and if ya inertia open it, or open it "briskly" ya will have probs............
i have had 3 and all developed lock probs with use, even when i knew not to inertia open it, open it hard, etc. imho its due to the inertia of the big blade and the very close tolerances required for the rolling lock to work correctly. after i saw a schematic of the internals, i could understand the problems with it imho tolerances must be just too close for a production knife, as far as REKATS claims of "the lock of the 21st century", BS i say.
the cheerfull , helpfull, lovely folks at REKAT didnt help matters any, either.
imho if ya want a large folder get a cammilus maxx, i like the stilletto version myself.

I got one of those chineese Warrior knives to and they sure are great compared to the price. Very well made the only thing that is wrong is the sheath, so I made one myself. Here it is:
This knife is way bigger then the Rekat.
