Cons: Lock Type
Great feel but liner lock doesn't engage
I've had this knife for a few weeks and have been able to use it s but to see how it handles. It has a very smooth open and a razor sharp factory edge. The only con I can say is that the liner lock only engages about a third of what it should and is a possible hazard
