I got this knife because it looked like fun and i had never seen a knife like it before. it is built well like all cold steel products but it isnt very practical. i have the tanto blade because the double sided blades arent legal in CA. the handle is aluminum so if the knife is wet with sweat or blood it will get very slippery. there is a lanyard hole but who has time to put on a lanyard in a pinch. when locked open the blade will stay locked as long as you have a grip on it. the way you open and close the blade is by a flick of the wrist which is fun and i can imagine would look intimidating to someone trying to attack you. this knife is not a butterfly knife and is perfectly legal in CA. the handle has some bamboo shoots engraved in it for design. with all the use this knife gets the handle does get scratched where the aluminum overlaps. here are the specs.
