I had one of those recon tantos. Very sweet. I currently have a lite tanto which is nice. Nothing fancy but still nice. I did have a Magnum Tanto XII that I am still kicking myself for selling.
I have an auto presido. Love the thing. My only regret was that I used it without realizing it wasnt a standard production run. It is the marine coyote tan with the crest on the blade.
No sir I bought it from a man in Birmingham AL who is a knife maker. He does some quality work and if any of you are interested in this or his other stuff I can get you his email
There small knives (which are not as popular) like the BTK are very handy and ergonomic. Its just there mid blades that are clunky. Very similar to ESEE.
