I bought the top one in the AG Russell Store in 2018. Turned out to be one of the best knife buys I ever made. Carried it a lot, flew with it in checked bags and relied on it on trips. The D2 comes along now. Lost the original on the way to the garden, bought several more, including the D-2 version and then somehow spotted the dropped one in the grass one day weeks after losing it. The AUS-8 blade has been totally serviceable, the D2 blade is also, though D2 is better with edge holding. Used the D2 version to cut up a living room worth of carpet and pad. That was a little rough on the cerakote but the edge was easy to get back to very very sharp.
I have multi locking folders, BM, Spyderco, Buck and CRK. Honestly, these will do anything any of the other "better" folders will do - except weigh you down. I recommend them often and have given them to several friends and they like them too.
Glad I found these when I did.
