Hello,
I was lucky to find a Steath Cheyenne by James Brothers for sale as used from someone who needed some cash. It is as mint as a knife can be, never having been carried or ever cutting anything. This is the best made auto knife I've yet seen. It compares favorably to my MT with less "play" in the system and a smoother release. I'm handicapped (no fingers as one of many problems) and te release is a little hard to push for me. A larger button would help, but as I open it a number of times it seems a little easier to do. Using the best that Sentry Solutions has for lube on it also helped. The machined pocket clip works well, keeping the knife in place, either in my pocket or on the strap of my fannny pack yet easy to remove when needed. The shape of the handle is very comfortable and secure with little chance of your hand slipping while using the knife. The handle has removeable slabs; you can easily change the appearance of the knife. Several options are available with more planned (I've been told) in the near future. This also allows the owner to be creative and make his or her own handle slabs out of any material. I have a small piece of Purpleheart I plan on using on this knife -- it will look great! The blade is Tanto shaped, with a machined, not ground surface. There are many angles machined on each side giving the blade a futuristic look. The knife can be seen at http://www.abc-direct.com/stealth.htm where you will get a good description of the mechanism controlling the blade. Buy this auto if you are cleared to do so, you will be very pleased with it.
