What's big, green, overpowering and in your face?
No, it's not the Incredible Hulk. It's the Lynn Thompson Green OD Vaquero serrated Grande, or what used to be a Grande. It's got green FRN Griv-Ex scales with Thompson's name ostentatiously scrawled across the DLC serrated CTS-XHP stainless steel blade. And, though there were only 2,000 of them made, these knives seem freely available.
Some people don't like them because of the serrated blades. I have several of the old Grande knives that were made before the Tri-Ad locks and love them. But I rarely use them. They have 6-inch blades and still disappear in my pants pocket.
So what are your views on this knife? Your likes and dislikes? Does the XHP give this additional life or do the serrations chip as the AUS8A blades do? I've thought about getting one, but I already have more serrated CS knives than I'll use. But again, what are your thoughts?
