Ok, so in spite of the tough times ... I decided to splurge a little in myself. A complete want, rather than need of course. But I've had my eye on these for a while. So in August, I was able to get "IN" when the books opened for a new batch to be made. I was lucky, tried a few times before, but the batches usually sell out very very quickly. You basically get on a mail list, they let you know when it's happening, you pretty much have to have all your options etc., ready to basically click to BUY button ASAP to have a chance... Yeah, just that quick!

Definitely an extravagance!

Now with it in hand, all I'll say is OMG, what a work of art! This family has patented a design that completely, and I mean completely, eliminates any blade play while opened. Zilch, none! Feels like a full tang fixed blade, is simply amazing! I have full confidence that this would perform as designed should the need ever arise. The blade is scalpel sharp, awesome! I will disassemble and coat all metal surfaces, especially internal with Ex-Ox and then reassemble. Also, this is not something that's going to sit in the safe or on a shelf, it's going to be in my pocket always. I think my Jim Burker Hitman (TAD Custom) is going to get jealous due to neglect, lol... The only critique I could musta would be the lack of some customization, ie, blade steel, and maybe some ornamental tweaks. But this is a keeper.

Anyways, just thought I'd share! tmp-cam-9165313704710135264.jpg tmp-cam-552559700640388592.jpg tmp-cam-8784689257092969729.jpg tmp-cam-642372317299174105.jpg tmp-cam-7431247020825940847.jpg tmp-cam-4112524871722623760.jpg

I have wanted an OTF for a long time. Thanks for sharing another option.

This IMO is the Gold Standard for an OTF ... Honestly, wish I could somehow convey how well this thing is put together! I've looked around too for some time, and when I came across this and did the research, I was sold! Then it was just a matter of when...!?

Figured too, if it was over-hyped, could just resell it at no loss and in reality a profit and get the Infidel or something along that line. But now with it in hand, that's a "never" gonna happen kinda thing, lol. As I've mentioned, only thing I would want, would be a bit of customization that would then set it apart. Function wise is +++

Beautiful knife, I guess I'll have to stick with an infidel at that price though. Hell, who am I kidding, I still need to stock up on ammo before another knife purchase.

Glad you got it but at that price I’ll pass.

As a Knife Collector and user, I can assure you, this OTF is the Top of the Heap! It may be 20-30% higher than I believe it to be worth, but the market dictates otherwise. I could unload it right now and gain +$300 easily. So there is no question in equity regarding price paid. I struggled before I actually was able to get in on the order, but once I ordered it, I was over it. And once I got it in hand, oh wow, I can definitely say, it (cost) wasn't in my thoughts at all.

But that's not the reason people purchase this particular blade ($) or those like it. They do mainly because this OTF is a unique design, and is absolutely well put together and made. Aside from that it also carries a lifetime warranty if anything should go wrong. It's a father & son team to boot which is pretty cool. All in all, again, did my research and found this, and now glad I have it. I know it's not for everyone, just wanted to share ;)
