Love the knife, not the scales
Collector here, 30+ blades at this point. This is one of the first folders I’ve paid this much for, I also own a Benchmade Barrage and a Hogue Deka. While this is an awesome knife, I feel that the scales are too flimsy for a knife at this cost. The good news is that replacement scales for this knife are everywhere, at reasonable prices. In fact, it’s very customizable.It arrived very sharp and the action is smooth. Very easy to open with a flick of the wrist. Other than how flimsy they are, the scales are very grippy. They also aid in keeping the knife very light.I’d give it a 5 if it came with nice G10 scales, like my Hogue.
