The Trident may not be perfect, but I have two, a plain blade-black handle, and the gold blade serrated-camo handle. The blade does seem thin toward the end but I have not had any problems. I like the cord cutter in the handle and like the size. I do have a little blade wobble that won't go away unless I tighten the screws too much, but I can live with that. I like the clip position so that it hides most of the knife in my pocket. I also have a Flash II, but overall I prefer the Trident.
