So, after sort of wanting one for a long time, I finally dropped the cash on the CRKT Ringed Razel. My first impressions were and are very good: The ring felt both comfortable and natural in the hand while fulfilling it's duty of assuring a secure grip, the grip was sized perfect for my paws, the edge out of the box was sufficient, and the overall size of the knife was just perfect to throw into my EDC backpack. All my immediate co-workers know I am a knife knut, and whenever I get something cool I show them. Despite worrying that maybe I would cross a line between "knife-guy" and "*** is that!!!???", the Razel was admired by all. Even the one girl in the office that is scared by knives found the Razel cool and surprisingly, even asked to use it later in the day.
To slice her cucumbers.
She came in and said "Hey, let me use that knife of yours", walked back to the break room and cut cucumbers up for her salad. Evidently while doing so, a large number of people stopped and looked at it and commented favorably on it. Later, I had a few questions about it from a few different people who do not know my love of cutlery, so that was interesting.
I am surprised by how non-threatening the Razel apparently is. I work for our county government, and while I live in a Republican stronghold of a town and county, it still isn't the type of workplace that makes me want to show off my knife collection. I can guarantee if I whipped out a Bowie or something, the reaction would have been decidedly less positive.
