What's the general consensus on this thing?
I've been looking into a small fixed blade knife to carry as a last resort type weapon. For $40 this seems hard to beat. Is my money better spent elsewhere?

I carried one on duty LE for a while until my command staff decreed that folders were okay but fixed blades were not.
Carried it behind my magazines on my belt, I am a bit overweight but I felt it was comfortable enough. If you are like me and have little to no knife fighting training, I think it will do just fine for what it is designed for.
Well designed for what it is, easy to use with standard old punching techniques, can be used as a utility knife in a pinch.
Downside is that the sheath is rather insecure, and easy to spot, and IMHO anyone actually wearing this thing behind a duty belt is at minimum kidding themselves, at worst setting themselves up to get the shit stabbed out of them by their own knife. Hence why I carry mine in a weak side pocket and draw it as one would draw a pocket pistol.

You may not have worked on how easy it is to take one of the TDIs from someone under the pressure of a grapple and not even know the guy has it untill you get stabbed with it.Originally Posted by tanner

I got a Watson Magni and Small Bowie in Titanium that I use daily. I also had a pikal, I could not get used to the reverse edge so I sold it.
Watson knives are sized to get work done and conceal in a pocket with sheaths that are tight and solid. One as a neck knife or mounted on a pocket shield in a pocket is my solid choice.
It's decent for $40 though I am more partial to a straighter knife such as an Izula or other similar blade in the price range. Expand things a bit and the Clinch Pick falls into favor.
Think for yourself. Question authority.
Purpose designed tool. OEM sheath is utter shit. Poor retention and no concealment. Aftermarket options exist.

I've been looking up aftermarket sheaths and there are a few good options. They run about as much as the knife so I'm really looking at $80 total.
