Hi,
Does anybody have any experience with Laci Szabo UUK or mini UUK? I have read the review by Fred Perrin, but it seems a little biased to me. I am looking for people who actually used it. Personally, I have not owned or used this knife myself. But I have several problems with the design.
First, Fred Perrin claims that one can dig holes with it effectively. I fail to see how pistl grip can be used to dig holes, because for strong leverage the tool has to be aligned with forearm. I have not seen too many shovels with pistol grip.
Second,it is very hard to do fine movements with this grip, maybe that is why we do not see too many pistol grip toothbrushes and pens. A good fighting knife, I was told, should be more or less symmetrical, so that if you drop it you can pick it up quickly and continue.
Szabo claims that with his design one can deliver powerfull thrusts forward. It is true ,but not new. Push daggers have been around for a long time.
The other problem I see with carrying pistol gripped knife in the IWB mode is that it can be easily mistaken by cops for a gun and attract unwanted attention, especially here in Canada, where we do not have cocealed carry permits.
These are my thoughts. If I am wrong on some points, Please let me know. I have been thinking of bying one of these for some time, so I guess I am really looking for someone to convince me.
