D'Allara

[JBE]

I finally got my hands on a D'Allara today...courtesy of the big brown truck!<img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>I picked it up off of Ebay for a song (&lt;$25 NIB)I've got to say this has to be the best EMS/rescue knife I've ever handled! This knife has heavy-duty written all over it! And the story behind its conception is incredible as well! Thanks, Sal, for such a great piece!

Great knife. Ultra smooth action. Don't know about the EMS/EMT side of things but the knife is a great all-round worker. Takes up a lot of space in the pocket though.

The opening is extremely smooth...even more so than my Millie! It does take a lot of room in the pocket, but for what this knife is designed for I wouldn't expect anything smaller. I would love to know the lock strength of this thing! Also, the handle is very &quot;grippy&quot; - a must in &quot;slippery&quot; situations. Only thing I'm not sure of is the wire clip. The only things that I could see that would make the knife better are a larger opening hole and some sort of &quot;jimping&quot; on the spine behind the hole to further enhance grip. My only real &quot;gripe&quot; is that the lock release is a little hard to use-even with my smallish hands- but this is something that is inherent with the ball-bearing lock if I'm not mistaken. But other than that, this knife is definitely hands-down the cream of the rescue knife &quot;crop&quot;!
