Actually the look of the knife doesn't bother me. In a perfect wourld the handle would be titanium and the lock would be a frame lock. But the knife serves me perfectly just how it is. I like it better than the Benchmade 630 Skirmish.

no change there. I don't like tantos. I love the full flat grind, the blade sold me on the knife.

i am not talking about the blade shape

I am talking about the knife as a whole

the first inch from handle to blade should be smaller :D

The Handle should be less square



By the way the skirmish and Benchmade are learning lessons from Spyderco isnt it time we leanr lessons from them?

I would at least put a spanish notch on the blade to make it easier to sharpen.

3.10 AM my time also.

Insomnia. Terrible day at work. Only drugs are far too much caffine, far too much nicotine and two asprin for the headache I can't shift!

I'm short tempered at the moment, re-read my post, I apologise.

Me thinks Sinbad is some kind of philosophical troll. Sometimes funny, though.
Sometimes a bit disjointed (or jointed.. :) )
