Hi everybody so im pondering which to get. My local dealer currently has the XHP Code 4 Clip point plain edge and the AUS8a American lawman (no xhp yet) so which should i get based your personal experience? The Code 4 is only around 25 bucks more than the lawman. Grip and traction isnt really needed for me. I love that front choil of the lawman though.
Or Broken Skull for only $1 more than Aus8a AL!

I really like the Code 4 spear point that I bought six months ago. The knife came insanely sharp and might be the sliciest knife I've every owned. It rides in pocket unnoticed and is an attractive blade. The only downside is that it's so thin that I would find it uncomfortable for extended cutting tasks. Great edc knife for sure! Cold Steel has done such a great job with their Xhp heat treats. The price of the Code 4 is wonderful too. I have a Aus 8 Lawman and I have mixed feeling about choils on folders. Both great knives though.
 
the one you like better. i prefer the lawman with the xhp, it's a great user.
 
I have a Code 4 Tanto in XHP...good EDC but the one part that does bug be are the thin handles...if you plan on doing some prolonged heavy duty cutting, the thin handles do become some what of a problem but overall I like the knife and great steel!
 
Hmm thanks for your opinion guys! Still really on the fence on this one. Kinda thinking of getting the code 4 first then wait for the xhp lawman to come in stock for a future purchase..hmmm.....

Code 4 first then lawman XHP later. You won't regret it. I used these 2 knives extensively on card boxes during my last move, and the code 4 is a must better cutter due to its straighter blade. The lawman seems to glide off a lot due to its much shorter cutting edge and bigger belly.
I like them both so much that I have all 3 versions of code 4 and 4 XHP lawman.
 
Oh shiet guys. My vendor just listed the Broken Skull at only $1 more than the AUS8A AL. What should i do??
