Yea that’s the one Zelph, and it’s come in handy quite a few times.
I know of people who collect knives because they want to look big, bad, and gnarly. This isn’t a knife for them.
This is a finesse blade, it is made for people who want a very light (2.55oz), short (for precision tasks), and high quality knife (VG-10 steel, hex screw construction, with FRN scales). It is designed to fit securely in your hand, your thumb naturally conforms to the blade gimping. I guess the idea behind it is, if you have higher control of the blade the more deliberate your motions will be (they even designed a sheep’s hoof notch above the tip of the blade for added strength).
How many times have we been in the situation where we are holding fishing line, or packing string, and lost a knot, or tension in the line due to having to fiddle with our knives? With this knife, its utility is present as soon as it’s out of your pocket.
Also last but not least, you can use the wave to open your beer, whoopee!
