I was at Plaza Cutlery in Costa MEsa , CA and got to handle two of these. They were awesome! The E-lock was really cool and the fit and finish on the knives was perfect. Polished Ti handles with ti overlays and a high polished blade. I read that Allen is now doing everything in house. If that's the case, these two knives are a tribute to his skill and talent as a maker. I used to own a custom Stiker, which was well made, but these new knives blow his old stuff away!
