Tyrade as landed,first impresion

[kauai Marc]

Finaly got here across the pacific:thumbup:
I am impressed,this is a big knife,solid,feels good in the hand.
After a very thorough exam,i cant find any defect or imperfection,fit and
finish are first class in its category of production folder.
Came very sharp out of the box.
I was'nt quite sure about the C.F. inlays,but now looking at it in my hand,
it is a nice feature,and gives the knive a very good grip.
I have the feeling that these knives are going to become quite scarse and
will be hard to get in the near future unless you pay a good premium,so my advice is if you can afford it get one now while you can.
I cant remember the exact number ,but think the run was around 500.
I also note that the action(a.o.)is fast and smooth as silk and the lock is rock
solid and the blade dead center.
It is the lighter of the 3 large folders on my picture
I would like to know from those of you who EDC the tyrade their review
thanks
Marc

Kauai M, Aloha! From whom did You order the tyrade from if You do not mind saying?
It looks like a hand full of knife. Enjoy!:thumbup:

I have been to the garden Isle many times, It IS paradise, so sad we are going only to Oahu. ( In 5 days!)
Is it legal to carry a knife under four inches in hawaii?

Mahalo, and Shaka sign to Ya!

I edc my Tyrade on a regular basis, and enjoy it immensely. The only "change" I've made is to add a foldover pocket clip that I had made by STR. That one addition put the Tyrade into my edc lineup. The edge on this knife is a real cutter and I've encountered no problems with anything I've cut. Course I don't really have to cut anything much more than paper, tape, etc. But I look real classy doing it! The action and the lockup are some of the best I've seen on a folder. Lockup is as good as any framelock I've had, including the Sebenza, which I hold up as the standard, and the Tyrade is in that league! Your right about the scaricty of these and I would love to be able to get a second one to put up. Carry and use it, and most importantly, ENJOY IT!!:thumbup::thumbup:
