Howdy knifemaker. I have a very similar knife in my collection. It's the Cold Steel Spartan. They look very much like your knife. The locking mechanism is very strong and the knife feels really comfortable in the hand.

I understand those who would prefer a fixed blade in a fight but this folder would certainly be the next best thing. Cold Steel has done some major strength tests on the locking mechanism and it's not going to fold on you. You hear a major "click" when it locks in place. If you want something you can conceal but trust in self defense, consider one of these knives.

But my personal favorite folding knife is the Cold Steel Tilite:

I own one like the one on the bottom. I already have long arms. With the extra extention of this blade, I have a major reach advantage. God forbid I will ever find myself in a situation where I have to use it.

yep I got a Gurber EVO for that. Never bring a knife to a gun fight. Keepem for cleaning fish and skining game.

But at least have a knife if you're going to a knife fight.:

A Buck 110 is a mainstay. I've owned 4 over the years and learned to love them when I was a kid and my older brother got his first one.
