This would be excellent 5 instead of the rated 4 I gave it, IF the detents were more consistent. I have a … cough .., few, and some of them come with detents that are way too stiff. Yes, I tried loosening the pivot screw, the stiffness is in the initial retention detent, not the pivot. But then, I find the Hogue X1 hard to fire open, yet every reviewer sings the praises of the detent. Overall, though, I find most Rat 2’s with just the right stiffness, good retention but flip out decisively once the detent is overcome and lock up sound. The Zancudos in comparison are mostly too stiff. On the other hand, the Zancudo is one of the finest 3” folders ever made, and the D2 is really D2 and properly heat treated. These inexpensive folders just cry out to be stashed everywhere, like a squirrel stashing nuts. There should always be one in arm’s reach!
