Hey there folks!

I am in the market to buy a PPT, but i am wondering (preferably those who have carried the knife for a little while) How do you like it? I want to know everything you have to say about it... the good, the bad, everything.
1. Ergos?
2. Size (compared to other well known knives)
3. Blade shape? (how does it perform under normal edc cutting tasks, etc.)
4. Ease in opening left handed?
5. Any issues with over travel with the lock bar?
 
The egronomics are great. Despite the way PPT looks, the handes fit in comfortably, and securely into my hands. The blade shape looks great and is alright functionally, but i have not had any issues when edcing it. Also, it looks as though it would take alot of effort opening the blade using the left hand, however that little exposed hole is actually sufficient to deploy fast. It's more difficult than fully exposed hole, but still possible- just needs alittle practice. And no, the lock bar has not over travelled.

The downside is the blade length. While i have no issue with the blade shape, i do wish that the PPT has a longer cutting edge. When closed, the handle is bulky and the buldge would show in a jean pocket. Weight is not really an issue because i've carried heavier knives.
 
Thanks for the input man! I LOVE the look of the PPT, but i just wish it was slightly bigger. I have fairly large hands, and i am used to carrying big blades (My Manix 2 XL has been my go-to knife for the past 5-6 months, and i have had my ZT 0561 in my pocket too). Im just worried i will find that its too small. Either way, i might try it out just to see.

The handle shape reminds me alot of the BM Mini Onlsaught that I have, and that is SUPER comfortable, even though it is a tiny knife compared to the knives that i am used to... i dont know...
 
Cynic2701: nicely done review! Very informative. I wish more youtubers would make video reviews like this instead of the boring “Look at this knife, while i read specs straight from the company website” type reviews.
Thanks!
