Unsolicited Praise: Ken Brock Knives
Or shameless plug..... 
Just received this customized tanto...wow, can't wait to have to rescue a patient trapped in a car that I get to use that knife to go through the car door or roof to open like a sardine can. This is a knife built for work!
Sorry Ken, had to share here too.......

Nice work Ken.
I like those blades you can use to pry a railroad engine off the tracks with.

Although I agree that Ken's knives are amazing, I can't help but think that this self titled "shameless plug" is nothing more than an attempt at jumping the line for a Brock/George Folder. I say nice try, but back of the line for you!

DDD,
Not sure if you saw my question to Les about being able to change the pocket clip for either right or left side deployment...that would make it a really desirable folder to own.

Ok., how can you blame a guy for trying?

That's a beautiful blade there.
Out of curiosity, what is the difference between a traditional tanto tip and an "Americanized tanto tip"?
In the pictures it appears the tip is thicker, more of a chisel-type tip, on the Americanized blade but I've not had a chance to view this style blade in person.
