Just got SOCFK #394 from the UPS truck. I darn near had to JiuJitsu my wife to get the box from her. She calls it teasing...not funny in my book!
This is my first Tanto style blade, and I am really impressed. I already shredded the packing box it came in, testing how it cuts.
At this point, I think the Commander's handle is more comfortable, I think because the Commander is a little more hand-filling.
Until I had one, I did not realize how well a Tanto cuts using the point created by the two primary edges. Pretty amazing.
I almost had one complaint. When clipped to my pocket, it seemed to ride higher than my Commander. I mean, there was a lot of handle sticking up. So I compared the two. The Commander actually has more handle exposed, but since it tapers to a point, compared to the broader pommel of the SOCFK, it appeared to ride lower.
Two more things. The blade opening is really stiff, and I am afraid the pivot pin may work itself loose after some time and use. Do you have any suggestions?
