Awesome little knife
I've had a few quality folding blades over the years. SOG Aegis, Benchmade Bugout, and one or two others. This Ekko is my favorite so far. The size is perfect, it has a great feel to it, it's solid but not overly light/heavy. The action on it is really smooth and solid...no play at all, and everything aligned out of the box. I was originally hesitant about going cheaper/non-USA-made, but I keep being stupid and forgetting to take out my knife before going through TSA so I figured why drop $150+ on something I'm just going to lose again? I can get three of these for the price of a Bugout, and I like these more anyway. The Bugout was nice but felt really flimsy to me. So I might get a few more of these to have in a drawer for when I inevitably lose my current one.
