Pros: Blade Material, Ease of Opening, Handle Feel, Handle Material, Overall Quality
Cons: Blade Sharpness, Weight
Cool Knife
Aesthetics: attractive, unique, lots of character. The bone cover is thicker in the middle portion. Fit and finish is very good. Blade-centering is spot on with both blades. No blade play. Comfortable in hand. Good for small to medium hand size. Easily pocketable. Slightly hefty in pocket. Wharncliffe blade can be pinch-gripped. Good pull and snap. Features Half-Stops. Sharpness/Cutting Ability = Grade C+ (Needs some work.). Minor Nitpicks: 1) Case shield/logo is a bit off kilter. (Catches my skin and fingernail.) 2) I prefer slightly harder pulls and snaps. 3) Under the clip-point blade, there are 2 negligible very thin, very short gaps between the backspring and the liner. (But, nearly perfect! Can only be seen when clip blade is open and handle held up to a light. I think slipjoints are prone to some minimal gapping due to backspring movement and construction.)
