Cons: Pocket Clip
Both a Winner and a Loser
The knife is well constructed, very well, actually. The fit and finish are well above what I would expect for a knife was not even $60. The problem, and it is a HUGE one is the pocket clip. Once the knife is clipped in my pocket, I have to fight like I'm Quint pulling in a shark on Jaws to get it to come out. I have an enormous amount of folding knives, and I've never had one even close to this difficult to deploy. Once it's out, the blade opens as smooth as the growl of a Jaguar V-12, the blade is sharp and well designed, and the handle is comfortable to hold and use. Maybe I'll put this knife in a carry kit or something, but for now the Bestech Ququ is sitting on my shelf and my Rosewood handled Artisan Holm is back in my pocket.
