Solid piece of work. August 27, 2008
"I did some research after I had heard Steve Tarani was behind this line of knives. Despite his impressive credentials, I wanted to see the knife. I have to say I'm impressed. The overall feel of the knife is that it's over-engineered. It is beefy, with a thick handle and blade. It feels very strong. I can detect no flex or looseness between the blade and the handle when the blade is opened, and that's impressive for a folder. Custom features like jimping on the back of the blade and handle, excellent handle grip surface, and slotting on the handle for fingers, make this a sure grip tool no matter what your cutting conditions. In addition, the knife has four positions for the clip so you can carry it however you like. The blade is equipped with a thumb hole for opening, but is heavy enough that it responds well to tactical deployment. It locks firmly in to place and although I don't prefer liner locks, this one has held up well to my testing. The only drawback I've seen so far is material choice. This blade is not easy to sharpen. It will hold an edge for quite some time and is extremely strong, but the tradeoff is you need to have good sharpening skills and equipment to keep the edge. Overall a well built knife that should more than handle anything you throw at it."
