Cons: Handle Material

Great folding blade with unattractive scales

Great folding blade with sub-par scales. The construction of the blade and mechanism is beefy and feels solid in the hand when open. No flexing of the blade, or looseness in the in the hinge. Overall a very nice EDC folder. However, the grip material is solid, but the color and machining of the scales give a cheap, plasticy look. it's not really obvious in the photos, but there are machined grooves scalloped out around the perimeter of the scales which add nothing to the grippiness of the knife while looking unstylish, and detract from the overall appearance.

Pros: Weight, Ease of Opening, Handle Material
Cons: Lock Type

Good, but dissapointed it was made in china

I personally use this knife for work purposes. The sheath is decent, but I personally thinkit is a bit unnecessary. My main complaints about this knife is that it is A. Made in china by buck, and B. Has a HORRIBLE lock for this style knife. Who thought it was a good idea to put a frame lock on a knife of this stature, seriously, I wish they did a back lock or something more sturdy.
