Superb knife, obviously
The Bel Air has had so much attention that I don't feel like I need to add much. I'm pointing out here that the scales are micarta (basically a resin infused cloth/fabric) and not G10. Fans of micarta scales can be particular about the quality, and the scales on the Bel Air I received are wonderful. As for the knife: MagnaCut, thin blade stock, and small size were the attraction for me. The price is also quite good. The obvious comparison is to the mini Bugout. The action of the Bel Air is substantially better than the mini Bugout's in my opinion (the reverse flick is addictive), and the knife itself is 'sturdier'. The reverse tanto is also a more practical blade shape for a small edc - puncture and slice. Great knife.

My new EDC, love the steel
This is my new daily carry knife. The size is perfect and I have always loved the axis lock (or whatever you want to call it). This is my first MagnaCut blade and I love it. It sharpens just fine and takes a mirror polish if you want one. Some steels don't work with a mirror polish but this one does and gets screaming sharp. Durability of the edge remains to be seen but I'm hopeful. Wish the blade finish was just satin but not a deal breaker. I love the color and feel of the scales but it is the weirdest G10 I've ever had. Feel is a suede or fuzzy texture and the material does stain and seem a bit dirty at times. Definitely not a Syderco G10 material. I will say that between the fuzzy texture of the scales and strength of the clip, this knife will never fall out of a pocket if clipped in. I polished the clip where it meets the side of the knife to at least let me pull it out of pocket more easily. I'm nitpicking because I really like the knife but others might find one of these things more of a negative. The price was great for the features, size, and steel. No regrets. Would buy again.
