Great EDC OTF
Although it may seem like a contradiction in terms, this OTF is a great everyday carry option if your state laws allow such a thing. First, the blade steel is excellent, according to those with more sharpening experience than me. Supposedly among the best available now. Second, the thin blade profile means that this blade is more "slicey" than the dagger style blades often seen in this segment, and more utilitarian. Third, it is incredibly lightweight, which means it disappears in your pocket (even if you are wearing basketball shorts). Other reviewers have criticized the polymer handle body as feeling cheap or toylike, but this particular compound is used as a metal replacement for automotive engine components. So, lightweight design was the obvious focus here. Fourth, unlike many other OTFs, this handle design fills the hand. All in all, it's a handsome knife that is misunderstood by many, in my humble opinion.
