Pros: Weight, Ease of Opening, Handle Material, Blade Material, Blade Sharpness
Cons: Handle Feel, Handle Material
Not great
I picked this up for the slim form factor, and the nice overall look. And indeed, it’s nice to look at, it’s well put together, has a nice blade with a good factory edge, and the action is fine. However, it’s major flaw is the liners. The wood scales are substantially smaller than the liner (shadow boxed), so the steel liners are most of what is felt when holding it, and no attempt was made to smooth any of the liner edges. They are cut perfectly square all around, and there is actually a quite sharp corner where the liner lock is cut out. The result is a knife that is pretty cheap feeling, and frankly uncomfortable in the hand. While I realize this isn’t a pricey knife, a little bit of rounding on the liner edges would improve the knife 100%. Civivi does that well at this price point, so there is little excuse for it not to be done here.
