These are a slick little knife with a neat trick: The hook on the heel of the blade can flick it open when you draw it with the right technique, by catching on the edge of your pocket. There is no spring assist present, nor required. This means it is Legally Not A Switchblade despite the wielder’s ability to bust it out quickly. I understand this annoys some authority figures mightily.

This is my usual EDC and as you can see this sumbitch gets used. It’s not a drawer queen by any stretch of the imagination! I prefer the D2 version, but I also have one of the 8cr ones lying around which gets used a lot less. That one is usually just lying around my desk. This knife busts open a lot of boxes in a day sometimes, so the extra edge retention of D2 is nice.

To facilitate a snappy draw, there’s a G10 scale only on one side, not the other. Lefties don’t have to get completely fucked, just partially fucked – the clip can be reversed, but the scale can’t.
