I’m almost 100% in agreement with this review, especially on what a useless fucker the scorpion lock is if you actually want to transition between locked and unlocked states.
The only bit I differ on is that the AD-15 is not the widest closed knife I own, but only because I have a Cold Steel 5-max.
Knives really aren’t good self defence tools. Without training they are as dangerous to the wielder as to the attacker. Even with training running away is usually a better tactic.
Depending on jurisdiction carrying a knife as a (defensive or offensive) weapon may be illegal. There may also be restrictions on length, foldability, automaticity and concealability to carry a knife as a tool for no particular reason.
Are you aware of their local restrictions? If you let us know we can better advise.
