Wow, the wood handle is fantastic.
I just received this knife, and it's great. The wood handles are beautiful and work well. Similar to other light knives with handles made out of some form of plastic, there is a tiny amount of flex in the handles when you squeeze hard, but it's not a functional problem--unless you're annoyed by that. The flex is similar to my Spyderco Para 3 Lightweight or Benchmade Mini Bugout. I suppose I will have to see how the handle holds up over time, but, otherwise, I don't know why anybody would prefer plastic over this desert ironwood. I like the blade shape, which seems very practical. Sliced right through paper without any issues, right out of the box. Action is smooth and easy to flick. In fact, it can be flicked open without working the lock, so some people might not like that. No blade play when locked.
