A folder of any size? Wow. Course it has been my experience that concealing a knife for any purpose is a bad idea. From what I've read, juries tend to look down on someone that uses a knife in legit self-defense. Obviously if you have no other option, such as in CA where a CCW for a gun is tits on a bull, I guess I could see it. Still, heckuva lot of weight. A Benchmade CQC7 would be lighter, easier to conceal, and perfectly effective in a self-defense scenario.
I think that no matter what, I find it a silly knife, and cannot honestly come up with any reason why I would want to carry it in my life. It is not impossible that others have standards different than mine, and I don't fault em for it. It just seems like "It's frikken cool!" would be the primary motivation for toting this knife when most scenarios requiring a knife could be better filled with something mor efficient.
In my life, on any given day, I have three blades on me. A small Victorinox on my keychain (mostly carried for the eternally useful micro-scissors), a Gerber Multi-plier on my belt (obvious utility), and a Beretta Airlight in my pocket (fo rmore mundane cutting uses such as box opening etc). Each blade has a purpose and a use in my day-to-day activities, and it would be quite aggravating to not be able to carry them. None are ostentatious, none are excessive for any reason, and none have caused anyone to look twice when I pulled them for some use. A knife like this would definitely cause most onlookers to wonder about your stability and probable level of maturity. In many areas, that could result in a call to the local PD reporting a "man with a knife".
