The Parallax is my second purchase from Krate Tactical, and I’m even more pleased. The carbon fiber on this and the G-10 Jade just feel good and light in the hand. I’ve owned other OTF knives that would better work as paperweights. You must remember, one of the supposed high-end knifemakers has often used D2 steel, so Krate is right up there with them. Very little blade play (as is normally found on most all OTF knives), solid deployment, lockup and retrieval and I use the nylon sheath. The last item is the only downside, as the nylon sheath gets a bit ratty after using it for a couple of months…leather would’ve been better, but you can always order a leather version from online retailers. Overall, why pay $300-$500+ for a chicken-foot blade (particularly if it ends up in the safe and not your pocket?)? I’m very pleased with my Krate purchases.

Was too too sure about an OTF knife. But after getting this one in my hand, I have a new go to everyday carry pocket knife. It has the perfect weight and overall size. It lays in the pocket and you never know it’s there and is easily deployed. The D2 steel is an absolute plus. It holds an edge and is tough enough to handle whatever you throw at it. Highly recommend, you WILL NOT be disappointed.

Beautiful knife very fast shipping, you guys are great
