Pros: Blade Material, Blade Sharpness
Cons: Pocket Clip

Pocket clip issues

I actually own the OD green/black stonewashed version and the knife itself I love. It's a great hard use EDC folder, especially for the price. The crossbar lock was very stiff out of the box, which caused issues closing it with my left hand as I couldn't rest my pinky on the pocket clip to get the necessary leverage to close it one handed without my pinky slipping into the path of the blade. After some working in I have no issues. My only issue is with the pocket clip. After 3 weeks of carrying this daily I rubbed it against my work bench and it bent the clip. I bent it back to almost perfect but after that it kept bending and eventually the screws came out and I lost the clip altogether. After several weeks of back and forth with customer service, they sent me a new clip. The new clip has begun to bend just from being taken in and out of my pocket for general daily use. IMO the clip needs to be more low profile and have a better heat treatment so as to not be so soft. If this issue were fixed it would've gotten 5 stars from me.

Cons: Lock Ease of Use

Outdated Image

Knife seems pretty nice, good shape, but I have a few nitpicks. The blade is black and not stonewash, and the thumb stud is black and not blue, knifecenter should update the photo. Also the axis lock is quite stiff right out of the box, hopefully it loosens up a bit over time. Blade is Definitely sharp out of the box!
