Considerations & Trade-offs
- The 1.88" dagger blade and 5.27" overall length make this a compact OTF option, so it is sized more for discreet carry than for larger cutting tasks.
- The plain edge is straightforward for general utility, but it does not offer the slicing advantages of a serrated or partially serrated edge.
- The blue anodized aluminum handle gives it a distinctive finish, though that finish may show wear more readily than a more subdued carry knife.
- As a side-slider automatic, it offers quick deployment, but users should be comfortable with the thumb-slide opening style and any local restrictions that apply to automatic knives.
