Martin's sentiments deserve to be revisited, as I am relatively new to self defense using the Gunting.
My wife is not keen on the G's size and weight and is really looking for a mini-gunting.
I know we'd be buying a trainer and live blade for her if they were available. This little sister to the Gunting is exactly what we were looking for.
Please please please consider making it happen soon. We love the shape of it, how it seems to cradle the hand so well, it's discreetness, etc. Lovely little tool!
Tusok! Tusok! Tusok! Hoorah!

I just got a set of Martin's resin trainers over the weekend. All I can say is "wow!" This little blade fits perfectly in the hand, grip changes are quick and secure, with the extra curve on the back, the horn doesn't interfere with a 'through the fingers' change, and with the angle, it comes to point almost perfectly. Made of steel and G-10, it could only get better... I would prepay as well!

I think the TUSOK's the right size.
Fred Perrin would probably agree ; there
were articles in BLADE & TACTICAL KNIVES
showing that the members of the armed
forces were tending towards smaller knives.
( NOT new. I remember some guys @ Ft. Benning who were carrying small jacknives
back in '83' along w/a good FB ) What makes
a smaller blade better? Nothing really, other than if it has a razor sharp edge &
can take abuse in the field - this is
where <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> excels!
If a <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> were within the reach of my service
pay ( at the time about $600month ) I would've had a small Spydie ( no Crickets
at the time, but the worker SE would've
sufficed <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>)
If you got the right training ( instinct
more so ) a small blade'll get you through
a fix about as fast as a 4" mili IMO.

It's not that the blade is small; my former aversion to smaller blades stemmed from not knowing that they could be just as efficient as larger blades. I love my Spydies. What can I say?
That said, when I was saying it was too small, I was referring to the handle. It doesn't exactly get lost in my hand, but it *is* a bit smaller than I'd like.
