Even though there are no restrictions on locking blades where I live and work I really like the Bond model and have been carrying it a majority of the time since its release in 2021. I switched to the second generation when it became available. To me it is an updated PST. I usually carry a pair of folding scissors in my pocket for occasions when I need some. The slip joint is way stronger than the older pst’s.
Honestly, I’d rather have no scissors on it than rubbish ones.
