I agree. I love my Cricket and find both the tip and the belly useful.

Argh! This only makes my yearning for an H1 SE Cricket that much worse.

Just carry one exclusively for a while.

It's kinda like when you first start carrying a knife all of the time and realize how useful they are.

I love them. They're an excuse to carry another knife, what's not to love about that? No, seriously, I like them a lot, especially on stretchy plastics and similar materials. With a PE you have to pull them taut, with a SE you just chomp into them. On really tough materials, you can saw through them...

The edge and H1 isn't a problem at all. The only slight issue I have with mine is that the handle is a smidge too short (shorter than a Delica 4). But the size is great for taking on workouts or many other situations where sweat or moisture (I take mine skiing) is a problem. I like my Pacific Salt m...

dbcad, the top two on the left in the open pic are a SOG Flash II and a SOG PowerAssist. I like the Flash II quite a bit despite its mixed reputation. I love the blade shape, the edge retention is pretty good, and the front half of the handle is very comfortable. I don't like the lock and the deep c...

What determines what gets his mark? I would have thought the Stretch would have it, but it doesn't.

They are discontinued, but it's very easy to find the carbon fiber/ZDP-189 models at great prices - often not much more than the G-10 ever was.

Using Google Product Search I can find several G-10 ones, but I don't have any experience with those sellers.

I love them too. They have the light weight linerless bodies that are still plenty tough, and are worry and maintainance free other than a little more sharpening (unless you get SE). I particularly like being able to sweat all over it and not be concerned - sometimes I'll pull a knife out of my pock...

Pocket clips catching edges of doors - happened twice in a week and never since. Luckily I always have a Kershaw T-tool (my only Kershaw product... need to fix that) and a multitool on me so I can pop the clip off, bend it back, and replace it in no time.

I just got one two weeks ago and love it.

I plan to get it decorated in some way (ideally with mammoth ivory, but perhaps something else) but I'd still kill for an H1 Cricket.
