"Vtech Titan X2: Study in EDC Excellence" by Nutnfancy

The Sebenza looking discontinued Vtech Titan X2 provides a case study on several things done right to produce a functional EDC blade. Pillar construction is the first: minimalist in design, flow through, and easy to clean. The loop over pocket clip is another: deep carry at its best. Granted we miss out on clip positionability and it carries wrong (tip down) but otherwise its excellent. Next would of course be the sharp jimping on the 440C clip shaped blade which locks the thumb onto it. Deployment and lockup were flawless despite the somewhat occluded thumbstuds. Anodized aluminum handle slabs feature milled in checkering. The knife was made in Tawain, once again showing that superb quality blades are made overseas (just look at many Spydercos that are manufactured in the same area). The Titan X2 weighed 2.8 oz and clocked in at $36, a decent value (found on eBay on occasion for much more now). Compact, light, and fast, the Titan got many things right..."all the way back" in 2004. It may come back in other iterations and that would be a good thing. .///////////////////////Nutnfancy Likability Scale: 8.5 out of 10
