something loud and clear, &#8216;drama&#8217;, and that is where I&#8217;ll start with the Subvert. Swinging open that lovely large blade is full of drama and feels like deploying something serious. Thanks to the super smooth bearings, once free of the detent, that blade swings completely free. Rolling it round to the solid clunk of the lock kicking in just feels so good. A generous size of opening hole ensures no trouble getting it moving and taking it to fully open without thinking.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve heard a few comments questioning if that blade is actually practical to use. It is certainly a bit different than you might be used to, and can require you to adapt your approach to a cut, but it is always rewarding to use.<\/p>\n<p>The blade stock is thick, and the tip has a wide angle, both of which make it less suited to piercing. However, this tip still works well enough, and adds a level of control, as it is often easy to go too deep with piercing cuts. At the widest part, the blade has been brought down to a nice slim angle making this the best place for deeper cuts; at this point on the blade it is an especially fierce cutter.<\/p>\n<p>Though it is a big folder with a thick blade, that blade has a full flat grind, making the cutting efficiency very good. The overall size does make it a positive choice to carry, but why wouldn&#8217;t you?<\/p>\n<p>There is a definite feeling that every part of the knife has been positively designed. What am I saying? When you design anything, some parts of it can end up &#8216;just being&#8217;, passively designing themselves or simply filling in a gap between two other parts. This is no bad thing, just an observation, and in the case of the Subvert, as you look closely at every part, there is a level of positive design and intended choices that fills it with purpose.<\/p>\n<p>I have found myself questioning some of those choices, like a single position pocket clip. More and more frequently, folding knives are offered with multi-position pocket clips, and if you are left-handed or prefer tip up carry then you can change it around. That choice however does make a design messy with milled areas and holes cluttering the handle. Sticking to a single position keeps the rest of the design simpler and more elegant.<\/p>\n<p>Have a flip through this gallery&#8230;<br \/>\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\n#foogallery-gallery-8301

It doesn&#8217;t feel too large and the size of the blade always brings on a grin.<\/p>\n<p>It is getting to a size that pocket carry might be pushing it, so I wanted to use a pouch. A happy coincidence meant I gave it a try in the Nitecore NCP30, and this almost felt made for it and meant I could go with horizontal or vertical belt carry. I also frequently had this on the strap of a shoulder bag (see gallery).<\/p>\n<p>Is the Subvert the most practical knife you could carry? Not in my opinion. Is the Subvert great fun to use and carry, and does it make you grin when you swing open that blade? Yes, in spades.<\/p>\n<h3>Review Summary<\/h3>\n<p><i>The views expressed in this summary table are from the point of view of the reviewer\u2019s personal use. I am not a member of the armed forces and cannot comment on its use beyond a cutting tool or field\/hunting knife.<\/p>\n<p>Something that might be a \u2018pro\u2019 for one user can be a \u2018con\u2019 for another, so the comments are categorised based on my requirements. You should consider all points and if they could be beneficial to you.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><b>_______________________________________________<br \/>\nThings I like<br \/>\n_______________________________________________<\/b><br \/>\nLarge dramatic blade.<br \/>\nEvery detail carefully thought out.<br \/>\nSuperb fit and finish.<br \/>\nSingle position pocket clip.
