Top Shelf EDC, Perfect Knife.
I've owned a variety of ZTs, Kershaws and Spydercos. This knife is by far the coolest. If you're tired of boring frame locks and flippers, buy this knife. It's the only knife I've ever owned that will close effortlessly just by applying pressure to the lock, so no need to use your support hand or even change your grip to close the knife. To reiterate, the action could not be any smoother with the lock depressed; it can basically free fall back into the closed position, even without a wrist flick. After about 50 deployments, your knife detent will be broken in. The thumbhole allows for superior opening over any thumbstud I've used. To me, thumbstuds are a goofy opening method and are uncomfortable to use. The Spyderco-esque hole on this model is great, and it looks great too. And if you prefer, you can just flick it open by depressing the lock. Steel obviously holds up well, very sharp right out of the box, and the G-10 feels amazing. If you're tired of metal handles and want something that's both more comfortable and grippier, buy this knife. Honestly I could not ask for a better knife. I've spent more money on other knives that frankly don't do anything that this one can't. The steel is top notch, the action is badass, the grips are perfect and even though it's a full size I've been carrying it in my front pocket with my iPhone, no problem. Buy this knife, silly human!!!
