Great EDC
This is a pretty perfect EDC. Under 3 inches. Great drop point shape. Strong top liner lock. Decently tough bd1 steel. Micarta handles. And an attainable price point. This knife sits very nice in the pocket and smoothly deploys with excellent lockup. The ergonomics are spot on, with just the right sized handle. Fidget friendly too. At this price, there is no reason to not add this to your collection, and you certainly will not be disappointed.
