1. The Gunting needs a black finish and clip. The clip and blade stick out with their shiny steel color stick out too much.
2. The Gunting Needs A New Name. When most people see the word Gunting, they don't know what the hell it is. Some people may be turned off by the name, I know I am. I would suggest Attack Machine or Offensive Knife Unit or maybe the Gutting (i.e. to gut your opponent with).
3. The Gunting can be used effectivley as an impact weapon, but it is not the best impact weapon ever designed as some have claimed. I would take a black jack, a billy club, or a good telescoping baton over the Gunting Drone anyday of the week. The Gunting gets its chief advantage from being "legal" to carry. In some areas you are more likely to get searched by a cop than assualted by a criminal. No use in going to jail for carrying an illegal impact tool.
4. Take out the Tomahawk References
The Gunting is not a Tomahawk and the Tomahawk references should be deleted from the training program. The Tomahawk is a superior weapon to the Gunting or most knives for that matter. The Gunting is not a Tomahawk and should not be alluded to as such.
5. I don't think the spoon for changing grips is cool.
I'm not a fan of changing grips or reverse grip, but for those who like to change grips and like reverse grip, I guess the spoon would be your deal, its not mine.
6. The best part of the Gunting is the kinetic opening. This part is good. The knife handle is sturdy. The blade is okay, but you can't expect much from a folder.
My Recommendation: Buy it if you are a knife collector. Buy it if you want to carry a folder. This folder is well made. This knife has an advantage in that it can be used as an impact weapon. I just wouldn't buy into some of the training regimen that surrounds the knife like non-lethal cutting and finger locks.
