After just learning that the local constabulatory would take a dim view of me toting around a Helle's Belle in a Dundee rig since the knife laws restrict me to a 2.5" (!!! Grrr!, Boo!, Hiss!) blade, my options are really limited.
I just heard of Tops Street Scalpel. Could anyone here tell me how it feels in the hand? (I've got small hands) How nimble it is and practical for defense? (Keeping in mind this is going to be my primary defensive blade.)
Also does anyone prefer the micarta vs. paracord wrap?
I'll probably carry two of them in River City Sheaths since I like a horizontal belt carry/draw.
I've also been steered toward kerambits by shootist16 but I prefer thrusting over a slashing approach. However I still can't help drooling over the new Tarani Kerambit.
Thanks for your help!
