Cons: Handle Material, Lock Ease of Use, Weight
Sticky Crossbar Lock
Reviewing the locking mechanism: It is probably unfair to compare CJRB crossbar locks to something like a benchmade based on pricepoint, but that is what I was expecting. Basically, the one sided grab on the crossbar rarely is enough to close the knife, though using both thumb and index works every time. The knife is a great shape, looks awesome and is up to the high CJRB quality standards. There is hardly any weight in the handle so it's very much blade heavy- simply not my preferred style.
