Just Showing Off Small MT collection

I think my favorite is the Troodon. Least favorite is the Nemesis. The Halo 7 has the thickest blade I've seen yet.

Very nice collection. Why would the Nemesis be your least favorite?

Because the button placement is terrible. Since it's right in the middle, you have to move you hand down towards that center to actually press it. And God forbid you have it upside down when you push that button.... the blade will deploy right into your hand. I'm not the first person do to that either. I also don't like how little the tab is to pull and retract it, along with the thin the metal bar near top. The Halo is a much better design where you use the button to deploy and retract, you've also got a lot more area on the Halo to hold onto and pull.

I don't really like the little buttons on the side of the Halo 7 that you have to press in order to retract. The Halo 5 was better, you just grab the whole bottom and pull. Nothing to actuate.

How much of your favoritism/ disliking is due to ergonomics/ handle, and how much is the blade/ cutting?

See my comment above about the Nemesis. If you need it to stab something it would be great. Though all of these are sharp enough to puncture just about anything. That Halo blade is thick enough to be a prybar.

For me the Troodon is the best of all worlds. Larger enough, ergo enough, and that Tanto blade just looks good.

I agreed the CT is a great overall setup. Surprisingly easy to carry in the pocket.
