Pros: Weight, Ease of Opening, Handle Material, Blade Material, Overall Quality, Blade Sharpness
Cons: Pocket Clip
Very good knife for the money.
I have not yet used this knife. I knocked it down a notch due to the protruding button head clip screws. My initial impressions are:•This is a medium size, medium width, Trailing Point pocket folder knife which feels sturdy in the hand and only exhibits slight frame flex, which is typical for liner and G10 construction.•Handle has a somewhat angular (not rounded) appearance. Scales are flat sided, finely textured (resembles a micarta pattern) G10 with angled milled long edges. Texturing is somewhat grippy.•Only one other screw (other than the blade pivot screw) is used to assemble the knife which results in a very clean (not busy) appearance on the left and right side of the knife but does contribute to some of the flex.•Hardware and liners are polished stainless.•Knife weight is typically light due to the G10 and liner construction.•The full length swaged edge of the blades slightly curved spine have properly radiused edges that feel comfortable to the hand (not sharp).•No thumb jimping on the spine.•No thumb studs provided. Blade can be opened using the finger flipper tab on the blade spine or a wrist flick.•Crisp detents. The blade snaps open. Very smooth action. Does not drop shut but is very smooth.•The liner lock spring tension is good and easy to use when unlocking it. Not stiff, just right.•Edge grind is very even having no nicks. Blade is 0.020” behind the edge. This is a very slicey knife.•Trailing Point with very little rise of the point tip. Not too high for my liking. Tip only rises 1/16” above the pivot / ricasso spine.
