H&K Plan D fixed blade

Looks like this has been out for a while but I just became aware of it. Benchmade H&K Plan D:

Looks a lot like the K-BAR TDI knives. I had been throwing around the idea of trying one of the TDI knives but when I saw the Plan D and read a few reviews it seems like the Plan might have the edge over the TDI knives. Word is that it is thinner than the TDIs and the sheath is better. I have no experience with either but would like to draw off of other's experiences. I am looking to use it as an EDC knife carried IWB.

Thoughts?

Do it. I love mine. I carry it everyday at 11 o'clock, opposite to my g19. It came wicked sharp out of box, it's easy to resharpen, and the sheath is outstanding for AIWB. The downside it that you can't get four fingers on it. That said, I don't feel bad at all only working it with three, forward or reverse grip.

They're also made in the US vs Taiwan, and N680 is supposed to be a nicer steel than AUS 8.

HK has another fixed blade made by BM at a cheap price and comes with D2 steel I forget the name sorry

EDIT TO ADD


HK DISPATCH D2 fixed blade also like the wharncliffe fixed that's a copy of Crawford. to bad it isn't USA and D2
