I try to avoid buying just for novelty . But every time I see this thing ...I just want it pretty bad !
I'd most likely never carry it . But I would play around !
Frame locks are not my most trusted , especially for a fighting knife .
Might be fine and safe ...or not ?
Not expensive , but not easily returned either .![]()
I picked mine up just for the impractical novelty, it will never be used.This is one of those designs that seems pretty useless if you don't have the extensive, specific martial training in order to use it effectively. In fact, I'd daresay that more people have been dispatched with kitchen knives than anyone actually using one of those style knives in anger, but that's just my opinion. I'd never buy one, but it's not my money. You want one, get it ordered!
...and if you don't you should...Convince yourself you'll suffer from buyer's remorse if you do![]()
