Haha, RN, you may be a leftie, but only by about 1/2 a degree. That's acceptable! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> (oh and I still commend you for work I couldn't do)!

That IS a nice looking folder Vic. I actually like the looks of the folder better than the fixed blade.

The HEST Folder finally arrived. No awesomeness here. This is the absolute last folder I would ever carry into a hostile environment. Even after loosening the pivot adjustment and working it with Break-free, the HEST folder is a two-hand opener. Lock up is solid. The blade is very thick. The ergonomics are good. The edge was marginal. Overall fit and finish......the Taiwan made RAT-1 folder is better. This thing is pretty rough, guys. It cannot compare to my Benchmades or ZT folders. I will keep it as a collectible, but when I go into a potentially hostile environment tonight, the ZT0350 will be my choice.

The HEST blade is even thicker than my ZT0301 or Skirmish.

Way to go Vic -- those are some good-looking knives! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Oh mama, the mailman was good to me today!

The para 2 and kershaw rake! Great ergos, nice size on the both! Can't say I understand what a compression lock is...looks like a liner lock that has been relocated to me- but what do I know!? Folks rave about it though. Gotta say, Vic turned me on to the kershaws by talking about the flippers awhile back- thank Vic! The rake does open nice! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Gotta see how they carry in jeans, but I'm lovin them so far! 2 nice blades! The Rake is a blem too, so $65 for a lot of knife..composite blade, pretty great!!

Bummer to hear about the RYP Folder!

Vic, your review eases my mind and makes me glad that I ended up passing on my preorder. Thanks for the review!

Nice review HD, kind of disappointing since Lion Steel makes some really nice knives. I'm sure they rushed these to get them cranked out as fast as they can to meet the deadline. For a $175.00 blade you would think the fit and finish would be better. Glad to hear they got some of the bugs worked out that the LE models had.
