For me, the MPR was **** near unbearable in the pocket due to its overall width/height, as well as the tab on the side of the clip that contacts your pants. Primary reason I decided to give it a shot was it has m390, which, due to the blade's geometry sorta renders the higher wear resistance moot...at least to me. Don't get me wrong, it's a well-made, solid little turd of a knife, just isn't suitable for my needs.
I appreciate the info and pics guys. I went from "that thing is ugly" to "I think I want one" in 1 day. :D Im still reading reading reviews and watching videos on it. You guys do seem to love it so its only a matter of time before I get one and hopefully its soon! Feel free to keep adding info and pics.
The knife is a beautiful tank! The stonewashed blade is real nice. Thick blade can cut down a 2-3in. sapling no problem, while still doing some finer slicing! Carries very well in pocket. Not too heavy. Fit and finish are top notch! Love it!!! :)
Just got my new Techno and I am really excited about this one. I have been so satisfied with my Caly 3.5 of late I have not carried or really been obsessing about many other knives. Well since it has been a while, my purchase impulse started kicking in and I started looking at spydies I don't have but wanted. I was really close to pulling the trigger on the Bradley folder but ran across a good deal on this techno and picked one up. As far as first impressions, I think I am really going to like this one. I never really warmed up fully to the dfly due to the short radius of the blade and handle size, but I think the techno hits it about perfect for a small folder. And sure, I don't need a 4.5mm thick chunk of steel, but I don't need the beautiful stonewashed ti handle slabs or geared blue backspacer either, but I love all these features. I haven't cut much (other than decimating the shipping box) I think it will work just fine for my office/general edc needs. I also picked up a lanyard bead and some blue cord to make a lanyard, thinking I may end up taking off the clip and letting this one ride in the pocket.[ATTACH]23412[/ATTACH]
Ordered mine today from Walmart online for $157 and free shipping to my local store for pickup. "Hey honey going to Walmart to pick up some bread" "wink-wink"
