I like Magpul products but tanto grind has never done anything for me and I'm more of a fixed blade guy.

Back when I owned a WASR in 2014 the wood looked like it used to be Romanian packing crates. It was on the rough side to say the least. And the stock measured 9" . So it had a food bit of check slap. I was low on funds but found a Crapco side folder that had a 12" LOP. So I went with that. Only Tapco product I ever bought. But I have to admit that it made that WASR way more fun to shoot.I'm SOME guys,loathe the wood stocks/guards,LOLZ.
I can see where the Tanto blade could be a pain to sharpen. And I can see where a fixed blade would be superior but I don't care to carry one on my belt.I like Magpul products but tanto grind has never done anything for me and I'm more of a fixed blade guy.
Those Tapco folders are underated ,damn good stock IMO.Back when I owned a WASR in 2014 the wood looked like it used to be Romanian packing crates. It was on the rough side to say the least.

Ever tried scout carry for a fixed blade?I can see where the Tanto blade could be a pain to sharpen. And I can see where a fixed blade would be superior but I don't care to carry one on my belt.
x10If this knife retails for under $50.00 ( I wanted to say $40.00 But come on its a Magpul) then I think it's a winner. I like the shape and size of it when folded. Now if it's over $50.00 then just stick with a Kershaw from Walmart.
Okay for the record if this knife is $500.00 or even $250.00 then the folks at Magpul definitely need an intervention. That would be a pretty stupid offering in a knife market where there are already plenty of gun priced knives to go around.x10
This article is saying $500. No thanks.
