Got this knife in about a week or two ago for my wife and I's third year wedding anniversary and I have been too busy to report on it. Best gift ive gotten in a while.

First off I gotta say, I love this knife! Extremely unique blade and its still got a shaving edge after a week of EDC.

I love the flipper design. Takes a lil bit to get used to but once you get it, its smooth as silk and quick to open. Its a larger style blade so expect for it to take up a bit of pocket room.

I am not a huge fan of the clip as its on the big and showy side, but it does its job.

As far as EDC and as a combat/ self defense knife, this knife fits the bill. Its large size makes it more effective and capable of dealing damage in my eyes. Unique design and sturdy, quality fit and finish make this knife a definite keeper. Here it is to give you a idea of its size.

Thanks again Richard for the recommendation and the link!

SWEET!!

Nice photos of a beautiful knife. I was hoping you'd like it as much I like mine. Of the three different ones I've got that one and the SG1 are the ones that spend the most time in my pocket.

Tell me. Could you find the factory blemish? I've gotten several Blems from Dave and on a couple I've yet to find why they considered it a Blem. They look perfectly fine to my eye.

Give it a little more use and a little lube on the pivot and you'll be amazed how much smoother it will get.

I did, its so light that I cant capture it with my camera but on the side with the XXXX, there is a SLIGHT scratch on the blade about a quarter inch long just above the handle.

For saving me $20-$30 on the price, and being something that you can only see in the right light because its so minute, I am not minding it at all :D

Good deal. Hope it serves you well for a long, long time. In honor of your new blade I'll be carrying mine this weekend. It's been awhile since it's seen any pocket time as this darn Buck addiction of mine has been keeping most other brands on the sidelines of late.

Well it's been a couple of weeks now. How do you like your new Dog?
