Pros: Blade Sharpness, Ease of Opening, Lock Ease of Use, Overall Quality
Cons: None
Good, basic work knife
I recommend this knife. It's nothing fancy. It's not pretty. No super steel. It is a good, reliable folding knife meant for work. I use mine around the barn for all sorts of cutting tasks. It takes a good edge, holds the edge well enough, and is easy to sharpen. Very light and slender. I forget it's in my pocket. Locks securely, no blade wobble, although that would be easy to fix by simply tightening the pivot screw. Only complaint is the pocket clip is too tight. I modified it so it would slip in and out of my pocket more easily. I would buy this again. In fact, I'm seriously considering the slipjoint version of this knife.

Disappointed
I really wanted to like this knife but quality is disappointing.
Rocker is 2mm thicker than blade which causes side to side play. Rear liner, as well as other parts of the knife cut uneven and poorly finished.
