Yes it feels secure. The magnets are very strong and the locking geometry has tight tolerances, so that on the cutting plane there is no movement whatsoever. And even when a side force is applied to the blade tip, the blade moves but remains engaged, because the two magnets in the back keep it in place. The only thing to look for is avoid scraping the blade edge to the inner side of the body - the mechanism is very “fidgety” but using it too much dulls the blade. You can avoid this scraping by pulling the edge away, but you have to purposely think about it. I even imported it to Europe from the US, so to you it will cost surely less than to me ;)

My office carry is the Exceed Designs TiRant Razor-M: awesome mechanism and really compact. Really expensive, too…

Here paired with its sibling flashlight EDC:

I despise this SUV trend, too, but isn’t it a bit extreme to judge a person just by the car they drive? The majority of people don’t even think about it and the market is flooded with these things, so they have less and less choice. There are cases where SUVs make sense, in mountainous regions and where it snows a lot, but I agree that space has to be better used and public space respected.

The price is astronomical for a cutter, yet there aren’t any with the feature set it offers. It depends if the ownership of something unique and carrying a miniature yet useful overengineered tool is something that matters to you. In my case, the choice landed here for:

• office and work commuting EDC
• extreme compact form factor: being able to leave it in the fifth pocket was really helpful in a couple of situations
• fit and finish that could match the similarly small flashlight
• fidgety and novelty factor
• “buy it for life”: no moving parts, solid chunk of titanium
• I like to reward some small private life achievements with these king of “unnecessary” things :)

On the functioning:
+ really easy to slide open one handed
- Ti pocket clip quite stiff, so not as easy to take out
+ decent fidgety factor
- pushing the blade with the edge touching a side can blunt it (I think I fidgeted a lot with it at first and then had to sharpen it slightly again - solution is to take care of pushing the blade away from the side)
+ in use, it does its job very well, nothing to complain there

So: not flawless, but I love it and have it with me every day!

I bought it directly on their website with shipping to the EU + import tax, so I paid a bit more than that, but really satisfied with it. A really one of a kind product! No moving parts and it weighs 24g with blade in.

The sliding mechanism is as easy as it is genious: the blade is held “up” by the 4 shiny magnets you see in the picture. By pressing the blade down, it is then free to slide to one of the two cutting positions or all the way out to change it. So really easy.

I already have a Victorinox Pioneer X with alox scales. I’m looking for a more straightforward folder, as you said with 1ho there is the Kizer Begleiter Ti, that looks perfect… unfortunately, strict EU rules are holding me back atm

Could you share where you got the pocket clip for the Victorinox? I have the same model, awesome little thing.
