I can't quite shake the feeling that those Nuke EDCs are really chopped Sus Scrofas rather than an MS variant.

I thought they were AD variants.

I personally love the blade shape and look of the AD the best but find that I actually use the MS three times more in real life.

The Nuke has the choil of the Sus Scrofa and the rear talon of an AD. Blade length is somewhere in between the two. Thanks again for the unique blade, Nick <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> . Offhand, I feel that the only purpose of the Nuke is for puncturing and penetration. So now I need an MS for general use. At least that is the excuse I am giving myself...

AD by far, what's with the horn on the meaners? I like the size and shape of the AD blade more

I’d like an AD, someday when I’m rich. But among the knives I own…

I prefer the MS over the SS4. I see no need for a choil on a 4” knife, and the MS comes closer to that. The space “lost” for the talon hole is at least acting as a guard, which I want on a fixed blade. (Knife Guy’s variant—applied to the AD or the MS—would be better still.) As far as using the handle, either the SS4 mudder or the MS micarta is fine. Use is one thing; for ED Carry, the MS handle is more compact and I like that.
