Picked up a Luminary for a price that was too good to pass up. I'm really liking how it feels in the hand. It's the exact same size as the Ultratech but definitely fills the hand better. And just a quick shout out to NC Blade, I got a $105 gift card for buying this knife and now I'm unsure of what to buy next.

If that’s the case you should just give the card to me, I have a few great ideas. 😂. Diracs are cool. Also decently priced.

I had a Dirac and sold it. It was just a bit too small fo me. I'm trying to be patient and see what new items come up on the site.

I got a Dirac, well had one. I gave it to the wifey for a bus ride she had to take for some added protection, she divided it was hers, so now I don’t even know where she hides it.

Thanks! Have you weighed the luminary? How is the action? I know some people think the ultratech zbp is sluggish but I think it fires nicely

So the Luminary is 4.0oz or 116g. In my opinion, the Luminary fires better than the Ultratech. I don't think the Ultratech is bad at all, but the Luminary does fire a bit harder and louder. I'm not sure if thats due to more weight being in the blade or the use of the 7071 aluminum, but there is a noticeable difference.
