The knife I carried for the last 28 years was broken by misuse last week. Not having my familiar friend in my pocket was very disconcerting so I started looking for a new replacement. I had a discussion with the infamous Ratdog about my dilemma and after very little deliberation he advised the purchase of this knife. I ordered it from Midway USA and it arrived this morning. The craftsmanship in this knife is way above standard, truly amazing for a production knife. The back is open between the carbon fiber scales to allow all that pocket trash to fall out. This might allow for coins to enter against the blade so I might have to be cautious about carrying it with them. Blade is D2 steel. I already love it. Thanks Ratdog!
