I wear my Surge in my right front pants pocket with the clip every day. Feel naked without it, once you get used to it, you will too.
Everyone knows I have it and always ask to use it in a pinch.
I have dealt with the warranty on older models and was very pleased with the process and speed.
I highly suggest a model that you don't need to "open" to get to the knife, the Surge is just a thumb flip.
My older models are now in consoles of vehicles but never get used as I always have the Surge on me.
Saved my butt countless times and I love it. Definitely the tool that gets used the most.
VERY strong tool.
Buy once, cry once.
