I love this knife
I should probably be a better digital citizen and write more reviews, but the fact I'm writing this one speaks volumes about how much I love this knife. I've got a bunch of knives, many of them are top brands, but there's inevitably some feature that isn't everything I want. I got this knife in February and it is nearly perfect. I can open and close it one-handed, from slipping it out of my pocket, flipping it open, using it, unlocking the blade and flipping it back closed. It's really smooth and well designed. The fat blade is great for everything from cutting up kindling to fixing lunch. The reverse tanto is useful for opening boxes and makes for a thick, strong blade throughout the length of the knife. I have a knife sharpener that has standard and Asian grinds. I use the Asian grind on this knife and it's razor sharp and seems to hold that edge really well. The scales (I have the blue one) have a good grip surface without grabbing your pocket. So I gave the lock feature a 4 out of 5... I love it primarily because even my best knives have a liner lock or spine lock, something that keeps me from closing it one-handed. It takes a little practice (literally a few tries) before closing this one-handed is intuitive, but it's the only knife I own that I can do it with. Having said that, the latch mechanism could use just a little redesign to be simpler to release. Not bad, but not perfect. I'm planning on purchasing several more of these, so I have one in my truck, boat, toolbox, etc. This knife isn't just great for the money, it's a great knife.
