Hi Chad!

As of the past few days I've come to like the Subcom a lot and now kick my butt for noy buying the Wharcom or Claw when they were around and I had still the money for it (too occupied with fully serrated Spydies at that time LOL)
However I would love to have a regular G10 Subcom with the wharny blade.
Love the Trance maybe evenmore, but they don't sell em over here anymore and it's too costly to let it come over via the US.
Would love one in Satin finish PE
Got a black Trance CE back then from Chad to try out and beat the snot out of it at work.
After months of heavy use the liner lock didn't move a hair and it had only the slightest amount of side to side play, easy corrected by the pivot screw.
Great knife as well :thumbup:
I saw no need to sharpen it. It was not utility knife for me. It was for exacly what I showed in the video, slashing someone accross the face to get away. My daugher now in college still carries her'e centerlin time to time IWB when going out and about.- George
I liked the Wharcom. I prefer the shape for all around utility like tape, plastic bags, etc. My favorite of the that series was the Subcom Fixed. That is a great knife.
Posted a little something on the Modern Combatives Facebook page about my love for the Subcom.- George
I am a huge fan of your designs. Never owned one yet that wasnt very well thought out and had excellent ergos. Im a bigger folding knife fan and i wish we coild get a 4.5 to 5" folder design out of you and that boker would go better on materials and upgrade....but still in reach price wise for a working stiff like myself. A bigger direckt would be awesome or even a newer design. You didn't ask for a wish list but.......
Sorry for the late reply, Chad, didn't notice the thread. I have a WharCom and it's a great knife. I use it primarily as a high-quality utility knife for home repair projects. The steel takes and holds a razor edge and holds it wll. The knife just clips conveniently to a jeans watch pocket. Easy one hand operation. I was surprised to see it discontinued when they did that. It's a good design. Great ergonomics, like your other designs that I own (KeyCom, Hyper).
I never got a SubClaw. I don't have a lot of use for a curved blade like that, though I always thought the SubCom was a good design.
Shame about the Hyper. Flat and light, but very ergonomic for a compact size. The blade shape reminds me of a shorter Kershaw Blur or ZT 350 with less recurve. Mine is perfectly centered and the pivot is smooth as silk and easy to open. Deep carry clip and decent but not aggressive jimping right where you need it.
To me it's a classic knife design and very practical. Fits a lot of blade in a lightweight package.
Clearly you spent a lot of time in your designs thinking on how people would actually HOLD and USE your knives.
Guess there's only so many designs they want to manufacture at the same time and people want something new.
I could dig a WharCom Titan with a metal stud, or something a bit more visually appealing than the black stud. It works, sure, but detracts from the classiness of the rest of it. Slick looking little knife.
