Cons: None

I wasn't aware it didn't come with a box.

Overall the knife functions and looks great. However, it came in a plastic wrapper and doesn't come with a box. As a collector, I would have liked to know this before the purchase.

Outstanding Knife for the Price

This knife needs to be evaluated for what it is: a price point performer. After using it thoroughly over the course of five months I can say the action, weight, and utility of this knife is almost impossible to beat. I am a left hand dominant user that also has spyderco, Civivi, CRKT, other Kershaw, and Gerber in the carry collection. I have no problem with one handed operation and really enjoy the blade shape of this knife. The assisted open rockets the blade out reliably, even better than my $70 Kershaw Ken Onion and I have fidget-opened it thousands of times by this point. I don’t pocket clip carry and took off the clip to save weight.Yes - the materials do not rival knives way above its price, but dang does this knife just know how to deliver for a good price. It is like the Morakniv of the assisted folder world.

Razor Sharp

Great lightweight knife. Easy to open as you pull it out of your pocket. Sharpens easily and keeps a good edge. I like the point on this knife. It is nice to puncture a hole in something you need to cut.
