Clutch_Cargolol what is this picture supposed to show? That's not how knives work: they're not only used for cutting on top of flat surfaces.

JonahChouActually, a lot of people use their knives for food prep. As I mentioned, flippers already have this issue - because of the raised blade even less of it can be used. You've never sliced anything on a cutting board? Seriously? Granted, many EDC's never see that sort of use. But it's worth bringing up. You'll see plenty of this brought up in youtube reviews. Try watching Nick Shabazz. Because of its forward choils, it's obvious that the designers intend this knife's primary purpose to be handheld cutting and close work. Try actually reading my above comments again instead of going directly to the bright, shiny picture.

Clutch_CargoWhy in the world would you judge this knife based on using it for "food prep"? Sorry but that's an absurd use case for supporting the "useless" image above.
I can't think of anyone who is a half way decent cook/chef who would use something like this as opposed to a proper tool (ie a good kitchen knife).

SantiagoDracoThere seems to be a real reading/comprehension thing going on here, everyone goes to the pretty picture and ignores the squiggly black shapes. But I'll go with it. I do have a collection of chef knives. I'll assume you never go out, never go camping, never find yourself in an office environment or at a friend's house or other gathering where the existing "knives" are questionable if existing at all. If you're the type who only uses your knife to cut phone book paper, great.
My contention is that flippers aren't well suited in general for cutting on flat surfaces. This WE in particular is a tad worse still. However, flipper knives like the new Liong Mah Endeavor and GSD, or Kizer Velox & Velox 2 have no flipper tab at all to get in the way, and are as well suited as traditional deployment. I only brought this up as I've seen more than one person complain. Many people don't consider this until it's in their hands.
If all you do is cut rope, blister packs or - in the case of this knife - close wood working/carving, then great. Otherwise please, don't embarrass yourself further. What I've been saying is there's plenty of different possible uses for a knife. Where the idea I only use folding knives for food prep came from goes back to the reading comprehension part. Again, I'm bringing up my bone of contention for flippers in general, and something I believe *some people* should consider before plunking down $250 on a flipper that's just a bit more specialized in its purpose than most (read my original post and THEN look at the picture).
There's a LOT of knife makers and experts that disagree with you as far as the "food prep" thing. http://knifenews.com/knife-gripes-episode-12-doesnt-cut-it/

If you're looking for a good slicer though, look elsewhere. Normally, flippers already have a problem with this, but the elevated blade here makes certain that only a small amount of the blade is useful if using a flat surface. Right now this knife is not widely available, and you've got your choice of styles here.
