Pros: Ease of Opening, Blade Material
Cons: Handle Material, Pocket Clip
A little disappointed
Overall, this is a high quality blade steel, with a good overall design. Very handy little knife. However, I was a bit disappointed for a few reasons: First, the blade is not symmetrically ground. I guess this isn't too big of a deal, but at the $100 price point, I think it needs to have closer quality control.Second, one of the ball bearing raceways in the action was missing a ball. I never would have noticed had I not disassembled the knife ... but, again, at the $100 price point, this is not acceptable. There is too much quality competition up against this knife, some for less money.Third, design flaw (in my opinion) ... pocket clip screws are too short and the aluminum scale is too soft to keep them secure ... I bumped against a cardboard box when the knife was in my pocket, and it ripped the two screws right out, along with some aluminum from the threads inside the scales. I tried loc-tite, no dice. I ended up having to switch the clip to tip-down carry.
