I'm not quite sure what the attraction is for this knife. I suppose the emphasis on combat readiness and looks like it can be quickly deployed using either the thumb stud or maybe the bolsters allow it to operate as a flipper too. Either way, it can be had on eBay with the higher grade 4" steel blade for a few bucks less with free shipping and probably no tax added unless you're from NY.

INTELLIGENDAI can say i own this knife in AUS8 and its one of my favorite knives. Less than 48 hours ago i took it completely apart for cleaning. The action had got a little stiff. When tearing apart you cant help but notice how well its built. I think a lot of people are drawn to this knife due to its classic stiletto properties. It has one of the best non ball bearing actions of any knife i have seen and the lock up is solid and dependable. Probably the only complaint i can make is the beveled spine of the knife makes it almost impossible to sharpen it with the lansky guided system. Last night i found a 6 inch model at a really great price and was kicking around picking it up. But i love s35vn so im a bit torn. I cant think of anyone that has held the one i currently have and didnt love it. If anyone has even a slight interest in it i say pick it up. I believe you will be happy with your purchase. But I'd buy it on Amazon. The identical knife with aluminum scales and S35vn blade is 71 bucks and you will have it in 2 days if you are a prime member.

TxpipelnrI have a couple of stiletto knives myself but I did buy them years ago. I can see the fascination for the design. I always have had an interest in knives from collection of classic Case knives to combat or rapid deployment knives. Mostly, seem to currently prefer Two Sun flipper designs because of the quality of the materials and construction plus the smooth operation and sharp blades. That, and they can be had at reasonable prices off of eBay but can become rather expensive too. However, I must admit being somewhat surprised to hear non ceramic ball bearing deployment working so smoothly. Usually, you have work those and adjust them an awful lot before they smooth out. I also tend to go with eBay on the purchases because of the freedom from taxes and shipping fees without needing any special membership even if the wait time for delivery can amount to weeks.
