Very nice knife with fatal flaw.
Purchased this after seeing an on line review. Thought it might be a good replacement for the well-worn Elementum that I carry most of the time. Nope. Came razor sharp out of the box, with a well centered blade, and once opened exhibited no blade play at all. However, I simply cannot open it with the flipper. The detent is quite firm, and the flipper is dangerous. The jimping on the flipper is almost as sharp as the blade (it cut my finger badly) and the geometry of the flipper is such that insufficient leverage is available to easily overcome the detent. Of the 50+ knives I have accumulated over the years this the worst flipper. Based on my previous experience with CRKT knives (I own six different models) I expected better. It’s an attractive knife, feels good in the hand, has a very nice blade, is a perfect size for my needs, but if it takes two hands and a band-aid to open, what’s the point? If the flipper works for you, it's a great little knife. For me, not so much. Seriously considering a return
