I walked into Ruff's looking to buy a Kershaw Blackout so I could modify the edge a'la Buckcote, and there in the same display case sat this Carnivour-on-hyper-steroids. I've only seen the pictures of the SIFU here on the Forum's and let me tell you, they do not do this folder justice.
This thing is HUGE!
Every thought of the Blackout was suddenly gone as I gaped at this Godzilla Folder. I couldn't get Frank over there fast enough to open the case so I could handle it.
He handed it to me and I was awestruck at the feel this megafolder in my hand.
WOW! What a handful of folder it is! But size is not the only cool thing about this knife.
I started to fold it and deploy the blade, half expecting the action to be a little gritty at first, and Lo and Behold(!), the blade FLEW open with a mere flick on the thumbstud! WHERE'S THE GRITTINESS?!! Is this a defective REKAT?! The action was as smooooth as a well made liner-lock. WHOA!!
I must have looked pretty damn stupid standing there with my jaw flapping in the wind, but I was in shock at the ease with which this very large folder blade swung out and locked up. Not believing what I'd just done, I did it a few more times and by the last flick, I knew this baby was comin' home with Pappa!
The blade has no play in any direction, is hair poppin' sharp outta the box and it cost $5.00 more than I payed for my Carnivour. How could I possibly pass this up? If I walked out of that store without having nailed that knife, I would have had to look in the mirror to see if STUPID had been tattooed on my forehead. And if it had, it deserved to be there!
Man, I AM STOKED!! This has gotta be one of, if not, the most folder for the money in the entire cutlery industry. If you have not tried one of these yet, you REALLY owe it to yourself to get off your duff and go check one out! DO IT!!

If it's stupid but works, then it isn't stupid!
