Hey Mag,
That Heat is a $30 knife and it kicks butt. The zytel is just OK. I do like how light it is. The assist on mine is no better or worse than the few others I've tried. The lock is nicely done for a liner lock. I really like the blade shape. And yes, it is wicked sharp. Hard to believe it's just AUS-8. If my heat falls apart I'll PM ya <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
