My go to EDC knife, I carry mostly for self defense. Fast and addicting speedsafe, it always has a good snap even after doing it for little over a year. I have never sharpened this since receiving it and edge retention is really good. My tip is a little bent but from negligence but not quality, I thought the tip would of broke off but seems the tempered spine is holding up toward the tip. The design is very aggressive and the handle designed for me feels really good for holding the blade downward or upward. If this was to be improved I would only ask for better clip retention and overall lighter weight. Buy it you wont regret it.

NerdsmithI'll never understand these people who talk about carrying this knife or that knife for personal defense. To each his own but reality is a knife is one of the worst choices for this purpose. And it never fails to be a rather small tactical folder. Which in itself is far from the best choice for self defense. Generally you would want a fixed blade with a little more blade length and a more ergonomic handle. I know this because i was stabbed 17 times during a fist fight that i was winning outside a bar in my early 20s. It didnt stop him from getting the brakes beat off him. I didn't even know i had been stabbed till a few miles down the road when i felt my boot filling up with blood. I guess my point is dont walk around with false confidence in a knife to save your ass. Your better off with can of mace or something where you dont have to be so close for it to be effective. If the situation turns in to a struggle you stand about the same risk of being injured by your blade as your attacker. If you are a responsible person without a drug or alcohol problem or a short temper you cant go wrong exercising your second amendment right. But if thats not you at least look into a good fixed blade. Cold steel has some nice choices in this category very reasonably priced. Take care and be safe.

TxpipelnrYou can't carry a fixed blade or knives over a certain size in some states.

Erik11Well that clearly doesn't apply to those that live in one of those states. Perhaps move to Texas where you can carry a gun, broad sword, table leg, or just about anything else you want to defend yourself. Lol
Texas! The F#ck your attacker up state!
