>What's interesting is it's not such a new thing, the knife has been out for about a year now but there are practically no videos about it. There are some reviews but no tests at all. Most potential users/buyers of this knife are not at all interested in how this or any other knife works. The main thing is not even how it looks. The main thing is involvement in something, in some brand, some designer, some materials. And the most important thing is some treasured letters and numbers on the blade that indicate the brand of steel.

My new Military 2 has a little lock stick, but no big deal. I grew new muscles in my pointer finger after 1 day for that. The lock stick increases the harder you deploy it. If you look at a Military liner lock, where the tang contacts the liner is crescent-shaped for a reason, and I suspect it's an intentional design akin to this. I can get zero lock stick if I press down on the compression lock, roll the blade out with my thumb, and then gently let go of the compression lock. It nestles into place. If you whip it out, it fires the lock bar further down into the lock. You would want that for harder use where great force is being exerted upon the lock.
He complains about the finger choil, but the finger choil is a good thing, here's why: even if you don't choke up on your knives while soifacing, if you have your hand in the normal grip, and the blade closes on your hand, that finger choil will close on your index finger instead of the cutting edge.
