from 46 reviewsI remember after the Reloaded campaign an email asking what I’d like to see in the future. I replied “a micro LPC”. Well this is a tanto but honestly…thanks Lance! This is great!

What a great all around knife for everyday carry! So we’ll made and packs a punch as compact as it is. Can wear with slacks in the office, jeans on the dance floor, and even light enough to wear with shorts or lightweight fishing pants. The quality is second to none as well! Highly recommend.

Great looking knife with solid feel.
Made in USA. Well done.

Nicely made, perfect size and prompt service. A great EDC choice.

So very happy with this purchase. The thought and detail that went in to this design is evident. Top notch, worth every penny.

Love everything about the knife. Great Father’s Day gift from my wife. Just very happy. Can’t wait to us at work.

The knife is a beast! Super well built knife, I love seeing this level of attention to detail in a knife at this price point. It nice to see that money wasn’t wasted on useless, fancy packaging. Hardware is nice with a unique pivot, always nice to see. G10 feels good without being overly aggressive. Overall, a fantastic knife at a more then reasonable price.

This is one of the best knives I own.
Sharp and feels great in the hand. I live in Alaska so you need a knife your life is depended on. Wish I had this when I was in the Army. Thank you for a great tool.

The show side of this knife is stunning. The form of the knife is so friendly for a preferred grip. I have LARGE (xxxl) hands, and it fits my mitt like no other. The function is second to none for its intended uses. With all the good out there, let’s start with opportunity. The non show side of the blade is underwhelming at best. It truly looks like an afterthought. Although stunning enough to be a display piece, that’s not this knives intended use. For $400 plus dollars, it should have a symmetrical level of beauty. The external stop pins provide an excellent spot to easily reverse flick for deployment, and the one sided, deep fuller has amazing function for deployment as well. The only other suggestion that I might add in there is a little jimping on the bottom side of the scales in order to get a better grip when the karambit style grip is chosen. Good knife with the ability to be a Great one, with minor improvements.

Great knife at an excellent price. Cuts above its price point! Very good materials, good action. Only downside is lack of thumb stub on the clip side.

Absolutely fantastic knife. Haven't used my own yet but the one I borrowed which inspired the purchase was perfect. Great balance, beautiful finish and perfect size for those that are looking for a larger knife.

Love the new addition to my knife family! Been wanting a sniperblade works knife for some time now. It’s incredibly well built and an excellent utility blade. Very happy with it!!!
