An interesting design.
A cool looking knife, but in reality I have not found it to be very practical for use. I bought it because I collect knives and the design appealed to me. I have carried it but haven't used it much. The recurved design is useful for making heavy cuts, but it is really a rather small knife for heavy work. The point is not very useful for fine work because it is so broad. The cutout for the locking mechanism is too small for my thumb, and too close to the center of the knife to provide much leverage to release the lock. The sculpted scales insure a good grip, but are not very comfortable for extended use. I moved the clip for tip-down carry, which I prefer. On the plus side it is made with a great steel - S30V, which will hold a long lasting edge, and I have found it can be dressed with a small Norton hard Arkansas stone without trouble. I've kept it because of it's looks, not much else.
