The detent on the Militaw is really sweet. It's light but crisp enough for the blade to shoot out nicely, no matter which way you choose to open it. It's like the knife is eager to be opened. And since the detent is so far forward on the lockbar there is no double clutch when you close it. The Drop Bear is still my most carried knife. Among all the good things you can say about it, I especially like that it's friend shaped, and the thumb studs make it something you can hand a regular person without having to give them instructions or a demonstration. I can hand this to my mother or daughter without them getting confused or intimidated by the little guy. I'm really impressed with what Kizer offers at certain price points, not to mention their frequent sales. Occasionally you do get an overly tense lockbar or clip, but those are easily adjusted, and so far I haven't gotten an edge that wasn't decent at the very least.
Your experience with Kizer is a lot like mine. I think I started with a Feist (Lundquist design) 5 years ago, then had a sheepdog XL and then clairvoyant, and now I'm looking at the Militaw and I realize that Kizer has come a long way. Every once in a while I'm impressed with what Kansept is doing too.
I like Kaiser, I think I'll snag a premium militaw next drop. , I like the dogfish, just done with budget knives, it's just a losing proposition, you only need one budget knife.
