I have a few questions about this knife. I'm looking for a large custom knife. I want it to be comfortable for daily carry. I tend to like large folders. At this time the largest I have is a BM 710 and MT Socom Elite, which is perfectly comfortable for me. I wear my knives in my front right levi pocket. If anyone carries one this size could you let me know if it is comfortable to carry. From the specs on this knife if I am figuring it correctly the handle is 6" and the blade is 4 3/4"
This may seem like an odd question but at the price of this knife, and the fact that it will probably be my last custom folder for a long time, I want to be sure that this knife will see daily carry without being an inconvenience.
Has anyone who had one feel this knife is thick enough to stand up to hard use. Not abuse but heavy rope cutting and slight side to side pressure. My knowledge of talonite is limited. I recently read an article where it described a person hanging off of this material without bending it. I then read in the same article where a fairly large individual was able to bend a piece with a bar for leverage. Neither times was the actual width listed. I don't plan on bending or applying pressure from the side of this particular knife, but I believe like most out there I like to have a knife that can handle an emergency which may call for just this use of the knife. Could someone give me an idea of about how much pressure it would take to bend talonite of this thickness.
Thanks
