Oooh la la! What did who hit you for that?

**blind** · 03-04-2012, 10:11

R 650 +/- from DSG

A good price considering the website price of 90$ converts to roughly the same.

And that seatbelt cutter meets SD requirements I guess to prevent your hand from slipping forward over the blade easily!

**blind** · 03-04-2012, 10:18

Yeah and when it is closed , it opens by flipping the seatbelt cutter down. Opens nice and quick.
Also has a double safety for closing the blade.

You bastard.... now I gotta make a trip up to DSG and get one of these. :-D

Thanks for the share though :-P

The more I read about it the more I like it! How is the lock on it? They say it creates a virtual fixed blade. Lock that good?

I am in the market for a blade and the SpyderCo Endura is going for R800.

Why don't they just make 1 knife and make my life easier!!! Don't want to carry 2 knives. Where would I put my flash bang then?

I have the M-16 SFG, they are fantastic blades IMHO.

Good call!

LOL , yeah its a curse aint it.

The lock seems very strong , I have no idea how to really test it without badly damaging it. I assume CRKT did so in the r&d of it.

Have a look at how the safety lock works and make up your own mind , I'm confident that it wont close under normal use or SD use.

When I was looking for a new EDC I was looking at fixed blades but bought this instead.
