Cons: Blade Material, Blade Sharpness
Blade doesn't hold an edge
I love it except for the soft 20CV steel. That was the main reason I bought it. I carry this or my $25 Buck 112 and the Buck 420HC holds an edge much longer. No I don't abuse it and the blade looks new, minus the metal of many sharpenings. Not sure if they screwed up the heat treat, or maybe mixed up the steel with some cheap stuff? Who knows... The blade is also loose now. Not sure if it's the pivot bolt or the hole in the blade, but my guess, based on the soft steel, is the hole is elongated.

Smooth, lightweight but sturdy
I use this knife as my EDC. The guys in the Hogue factory get a pat on the back. Manufacturing-wise I can't find a single flaw. The blade passes through paper like it was smoke. The action is smooth as silk. The screws are flush to the scales both on the inside and outside of the knife and I like the deep carry clip. The one thing I would change is I would shape the butt end of the scales more like that of the K320 because if you're not careful the tip of the clip point blade will bite the meaty part of your palm. Once you adjust the way you hold the knife it's not a problem but if I were to lend the knife to a friend I would warn him about it. All in all I absolutely love the Deka.

Near Perfect
I got this Gen 2 knife as a Christmas gift. Hogue makes an excellent factory edge. The centering is perfect and the action is great. The scales have a good texture and feel great in the hand. The deep carry clip is as good as any. The one imperfection is when you middle finger flick the blade open there is a hint of lock stick. Otherwise Hogue has created the perfect EDC.
