This thing is a beast! Hardest kicker I own on opening. Built like a tank. It's big, 4" blade, 5-1/4" closed... but I have it in my pocket and it's fine, because it's fairly thin.... spec is at 0.52" but measured across the scales, it's 0.469". Blade is 154CM at 0.13" thick. Scales are aluminum. Paid $215.00

They are a nice knife, Dave. I was describing mine to a pal of mine and I told him " This thing is a thug".
Glad you like it.

Joe, it seduced me in your pictures the other day. I love the look of it and it is very impressive in hand. Build quality is superb. I'm very happy with it! Apparently mine is a recent production run, it is labeled PR8 s/n 65.... I assume that is Production Run #8 - s/n #65. .....and they changed the blade steel to 154CM, which I happen to like. It's my 1st Protech also. Color me impressed.

Being happy with a knife purchase is a good thing.

Edit- if you're in the military or law enforcement I'd like to see folders you're being issued.

Been awhile since I've posted, I tend to use the site as a reference resource rather than a place to talk knives, I need to change that and contribute more so currently I carry a Large Sebenza 21 with ebony inlays, a ZT 0770CF and a ZT 0808, all 3 gifts from a friend. As soon as I figure out how to upload/post a pic I'll throw some pics up. In the meantime here's the direct links.

There is information in there covering posting pictures to AAPK from various devices. Scroll down and chose the thread that best suits your needs. Most all the images posted there will expand by clicking on them.

The CS Scimitar is my favorite "tactical" pocket knife. I seldom carry it today unless I sense a rogue ground hog who may be seeking revenge.

By the way. Is there a difference between "Modern" knives and "Tactile" knives? If there is, what is it. Looks like folks are posting Modern knives. I had it in my mind that a "Tactical" knife was combat oriented. And while we're at it, what features on a knife would make it a "combat" knife?

This is Wikipedia's definition of a "Tactical" knife:
"The tactical knife is a knife with one or more military features designed for use in extreme situations, which may or may not include a design capability as a fighting or combat weapon."

And what the hey is a "military feature"?

Edit: For me, a military knife is like a bayonet. Not good for anything other than stabbing someone or opening a can of C-Rats.

Most any knife can be used for most any purpose within its capapilities. But if we are going to use the word "tactical" as meaning anything beyond the marketing ploy it usually is, then I would restrict it to knives designed primarily to be used as weapons either offensively or defensively.

Perhaps it is easiest to recognize, as an example, the difference in design between a trail Bowie and a fighting Bowie. A trail Bowie may well be used as a weapon, but the properly designed fighting Bowie will provide distinct advantages to the user in a fight. So too with folders. I would refer the reader to the photo above in this thread of the CS Scimitar. I consider it tactical because it's primary purpose is as a weapon.
