So from large to smallest....

Talwar xl
Super commander
Recon 1
Crooked river
Broken skull
Prolite

So its close to feel to the finn wolf folder. Plastic handle feels the same. Blade length and width are close. I keep reading 3.5" blade on the prolite but it feels more like 3.25 or 3.33. I didnt measure it and it could easily be 3.5, but just doesnt feel like it. All in all the ergo are fantastic for the price and i like the triad release being closer to the back of the knife. Only thing id prefer is it being 4", but i guess every knife cant be 4" or bigger.
 
Thanks for sharing! I for one like that CS is producing more knife of the 8 inches size. To me, it's the goldilocks size.

That orange is hurting my eyes..
 
Yeah its not bad at all. I like 'em bigger but its a darn good knife. Add a half inch or more and it would be even better.

Yeah its bright.......not gonna loose that one easily.

BTW, do you happen to have Finn Wolf or American Lawman? would be nice to have some size comparisons.

Funny things about the Broken Skull, i got 4(blue, orange, gray & pink), and i always use & carry the pink one because it's supposed to be my least favorite that i can hard use and still not care about discoloring it. But it has really grown on me since
 
Yep have both. Ill dig them up and take pics later tonight.

And here they are.....

Nice! Thanks for the pics, really appreciate it! :thumbup:
It does look like the prolite has a better blade/handle ratio than the lawman. Its handle design is very similar to the Swift. Really hope CS would make a mid-level G-10 version of this next year, i think it'll be a winner. I'll definitely getting one of each blade shape, just waiting for the price to come down, as i guess the final street price should be less than $30 based on the MSRP.
 
^yes Sir.

i like your thoughts on g10 and maybe better steel, but i like the blade and knife bigger...this is where we differ. so be it. don't think we will get it a g10 version though as this is for a budget price point line and they do have plenty of other knives.

think i paid 29 bucks or so......but i bought something else so shipping was free routine. one nice thing about it being cheap is i have no fear of using it more and harder than a more expensive knife, so in that regard........i see massive value.
 
I like the looks of these. I don't mind the steel or the handle materials. I generally prefer FFG, but these don't look too thick and appear to be good slicers. I have tried looking at my usual dealer, but haven't seen any in stock yet.
 
Can't wait for some good comparison videos with the Lawman or Voyagers, or some performance test videos. What would be even better that my trusted ebay sellers starting to offer it.

I wish the blade was longer,about 4 inches.Otherwise nice knife,and 4116 Krupp is not bad either,despite what some people say,have used it in Kudu ,Eland and some kitchen knives and it holds decent edge,sharpens easily.
