I will admit this. I hear your concerns all of the time. My concern is you are boring us to death Martha. Don't you have some cooking forum somewhere you can show of your slicing and dicing . Faux crab and lettuce, give us a break.
I need hard-use knives. Post something remotely hard use then.
I've cut a lot of mundane crap with mine. I *assume* that's the way it will live its entire life. Then don't bother to share your mundane chores with us Martha.

I don't think so. The 2.0 clearly isn't a weapon. Oh, it can be used for a weapon, same as a pool cue or a wet brick. But I don't think this thing is a primary weapon. It's a jackknife.
I will admit this. I hear your concerns all of the time. Many times a client wants (or thinks he wants) a "fighting knife." I don't know why, but we are way too invested in 'tactical knives.' For what? I cannot even think of an incident in my entire life where two guy go at it in a real-deal The West Side Story duel with folding knives. Clients just like to think they might, all romantic fluff.
I need hard-use knives. If I thought there was even a miniscule chance I'd be attacked I'd take a handgun.
The HEST series (and I've owned all of them) are good knives to carry when you don't really know what you're going to cut. I'm testing mine that way. I've cut a lot of mundane crap with mine. I *assume* that's the way it will live its entire life.
But if some super-secret black-bag shadow special ops paid mercenary assassin IHOP night shift fry cook jumps out of an alley driven by the lust of our jackboot central government, yeah, I guess I could stab him.

BTW, between you and me, be prepared to be branded a heretic. I don't think there are such things as tactical knives. The HEST 2.0 is a very good knife. I personally like CPM-D2. Over the past few days I use it for every chore I face. And it has worked. I will carry it as my sole EDC for the next month.
