Has anyone seen these mantis knives if not here you go. Along with the questionable designs there's some eye candy too. Although I'll admit the bottle/balisong was kinda cool.

OK This company WINS! No contest. I know of no other company that addresses a mall ninjas weapon choice, AND mode of transportation!

No you aren't the only one. A quick google search gave me this:

Hope the language doesn't offend anyone...
Zombietools owner/model?.... Nice hat...lmao
Honestly? The handle could be longer for some "wiggle room" for the grip and probably for the balance. I'd also like it to be just a tad pointier. From the pics alone though, I think it would be a nice platform for a more functional design.
This one's got my vote. Been scratching my ever since I saw it many years ago. I'd really want my "tactical knife" to make up its mind if it wants be be either a kukri OR a hatchet OR a knife.

I'm surprised there are no pictures of Striders.
Don't get me wrong, I know they're great knives and built like tanks, but the looks of them just make me giggle like a drunk school girl. Aside from that, every one that I've ever held felt like a brick in my hand. Not my cup o' tea.

Some of the more decorated Strider knives sure, but the rest don't look as crazy as some of the other stuff.
I can live without all those bells and whistles, but no bottle opener? What's their excuse...

Can I ask how the Spyderco Civilian is somehow socially acceptable compared to all of these monstrosities?
There is a interesting story behind the design of these knives. As noted by TwitchyBlade. The ONLY purpose for this knife is as a self defense weapon, the knife comes with a card that indicates that it should not be used as a utility knife.

That is actually a Falcata, an ancient weapon used on the Iberian peninsula, similar to the greek kopis.
Apart from the weird painting on the blade and the weirdo handling it the blade itself is a very serious battle proven design.

The girl showing the Mantis Siko opened the knife using the kinetic ramp on her very own arm - just the way Bram explicitely says NOT to do :jerkit:
But otherwise I think the Siko is a good SD knife. Of course, one would have to attend Bram's classes to benefit of the knife's fully potential.
