I have a Doug Ritter Hogue and have been very impressed with the G10 and the ABLE lock. That is why I decided to try a Deka. I love the green G-mascus and WMK only had one with a wharncliff blade in stock. I wasn’t sure that I would like the blade shape but, it has impressed me from the minute that I first held it. What a great knife!! It has instantly become my favorite EDC. I love the size, the high quality fit and finish, the ABLE lock and the 20CV wharncliff blade. It is more than just a better value than its competitors, it is a really great knife to carry and use.
