I was going to put one in the cart but I shopped up to a $250 Hogue before I came to my senses and closed the website

What makes the D2 version worth $10 more than the $39 non-D2 version that is also on the website?

D2 will hold an edge significantly longer than AUS-8 on the lower priced version.

Never mind.
I went through checkout only to find automatic knives are illegal in Illinois and considered banned. Good ol' Illinois.
I thought firefighters were exempt. I guess not.

You guys talked me into one. I usually carry a Kershaw Leek and will continue to carry it. I have never owned an automatic before, always wanted one... this seemed like a good deal on good first automatic. I think it might be a little big for and edc for me but might be a good camping knife.

I didn't know D2 and AUS-8 were different types of steel... thank you for the explanation.

The state law that made automatic knives illegal was modified to make possession of an automatic knife legal for FOID holders. The Chicago dems tried to repeal that provision late last year but they didn't have the votes. Since there is no state law preemption, all municipal laws apply. In Chicago that would definitely mean confiscation of the knife, possibly a $200.00 fine and possibly jail time of up to 6 months in jail:

I ordered one and it came in yesterday. Quality is very good. My first automatic. I did make a mistake and will caution others. I ordered the one with black handles and un-coated blade. It is a different blade shape with a very sharp point. I didn't notice until it came in but was expecting the drop point. In the photo it is hard to see the blade shape on the knife with that blade against a white background. I'm going to keep it, and may order another. Either the green or black handles with black coated blade.

Too bad it looks like its pocket clip - while reversible in one regard - is still only for RH folks.......

I just ordered one in green. Glad that I live in Kansas, where the knife laws were repealed with preemption.
