I don't own one, so there's little I can say about them, but I can say why I was never interested.

3. I don't like coated blades. Protecting everything but the edge never made sense to me, and I don't like dark blades at all. I've had a bright, shiny blade pre-empt violence in the dark twice. In a history that doesn't contain that many violent incidents, that's statistically pretty impressive. Not having to use a knife as a weapon is a huge upside, at least for me.

2. Same reason I wouldn't buy a Harley. They may be the best bikes out there (I wouldn't know), but there's too much cultural baggage. If I want a motorcycle, I'll buy a motorcycle- I don't necessarily want to buy a religion to go with it.

1. Busse. Even his advocates will mostly agree he's pretty insufferably arrogant. I decline to support that sort of behavior with my bucks. Do as you like with yours.

All of that aside, they're probably very good knives... but I'm not putting all of that aside.
