By the numbers, it's a little bit bigger. |

View Quote haha r2d2. yep they were averaging 50 bucks at most places and cheaper than that with the aus-8 blade. I've never properly sharpened a knife and all the reviews were basically "aus8 needs to be sharpened frequently, but the d2 is harder and will hold a poor edge if you fuck it up". didn't realize that about the size either. I thought rat2 was 3.5 and the Talos was 3. either way, excited to get it. |

I’m unsure of other companies that offer a more durable coating in a deep carry clip. |

You can’t truly call yourself peaceful unless you’re capable of great violence. If you’re not capable of violence, you’re not peaceful, you’re harmless.
