Amazing for the price!
I own some of their other budget knives and none of them come close to the 263 HiLine in terms of bang for your "Buck." Using steel on the frame lock side and aluminum on the other was an interesting choice.The contoured G10 scale covers the frame lock in a way that eliminates that annoying tendency to put pressure on the lock-bar, so it doesn't impede the action when opening. If you're looking for a budget EDC that's a little more interesting than your basic drop point, D2, liner-lock... this is it!

Cons: Handle Material, Pocket Clip
Clip Snapped Nut Stripped
I tried loosening the tension on the pocket clip by sliding half of a clothespin under it, and it snapped off right away. I tried to loosen the copper screws on the scales, to get to the pocket clip screws, and one of the heads stripped out. I'll grind and file off what's left of the clip but definitely not cool.
