Great Knife
This knife replaces the Kershaw Tanto Zing which I wrote a review for. My review will be almost identical except I prefer the Tanto Zing's checkered plastic grip, the new grip on this knife is all metal which doesn't feel quite as stable in my hand. I also wish this knife had a partially serrated tanto edge, that might come in the future. I am a self defense instructor and I encourage all of my students to carry a quick opening legal knife. This one is fantastic. It has a flipper for ambidextrous quick opening plus the flipper acts as a block that prevents your hand from sliding up the knife if you stab or thrust. The knife opens completely and reliably with just a slight pull on the flipper. I'm not sure what the opening mechanism is, I don't believe it has a "spring" assist but I think the lock mechanism is designed to push the blade out, very nice assisted opener design either way. The knife is light weight, slim and small when closed. One of the big pros is that the belt clip is adjustable for 3 positions: 1) Right hand tip up 2) Right hand tip down 3) Left hand tip down Brian C
